I'm afraid that is all I've managed this month! Gutted I couldn't get it finished in time. I was hoping to get it all done to this level at least but alas time has now run out. However this has taught me so much this month. I've learnt about lightmapping (which has helped explain most of my lighting problems in the past!)…
Well, I've worked for the department of defense and several other defense agencies for about 5 years now, and I can tell you that I'm now afraid of my own leader. I used to support Bush, because I have always disliked Sadam. I feel he's gone too far now. I live less then 10 miles south of D.C., and have decided to move to…
I used to work on a 19" monitor, thought it was great. Then I ran a dual 19" setup and that was almost perfect. They were only in the cheaper range, about £130-£150 each. One was a Hanns G and the other a Hyundai (off a friend), both widescreen and the picture quality was decent. HOWEVER, I read a lot of hype about 24"…
Vista definitely feels polished and better, but it's definitely got issues that would keep me from trying it agian until SP1. I had it on my laptop and was pleased at first... at least after disabling the canel/allow nags and the standby when closing my laptop lid. After a while though, it got noticeably SLOOOOWWW. It…
From teh description this is what I had in mind: Lago di Braies, Italy by caves rd (itch.io) Matte painting is super cool too. I dont know a lot about it but I do see four different programs required there, so I imagine each approach has it's own pro's and cons. My thinking was that doing it with 3d and mostly using…
It's been a while since I have used Unity, but do recall having to deal with material order since Unity assigns them to the mesh based of lowest face index value per assigned material in Maya. Something easy to do is gather all the material assignments and sort them by lowest face index. In this case, I took a 50k sphere…
Hey Guys... I've been working on the retop for a while now. Still not 100% there, but today I finished the big chunk of hair, so I thought it was time for an update... I started out thinking about what parts I would have on separate UV's and what parts I wanted in one mesh for baking and skinning. Some carefully considered…
Man some really good advices are coming out of the woodwork! Definitely seems like there is a general consensus to avoid dairy all together. I agree with WDewel on eating Paleo. It is really a change to avoid any item in a grocery store with a nutrition label. I'm really happy to see a bunch more people joining in on this!…
Max is a little wonky and gifted all at the same time when it comes to hotkeys. So each sub-menu has its own set of hotkeys that can override all other hotkeys when "Keyboard Shortcut Override" (back arrow on a key in the menu bar) is turned on and when you are in that particular sub-menu. For example if you bind cut to P,…
When someone keeps doing something stupid that he was told previously to not do on polycount he eventually gets banned here on polycount. The bits of sexism in this community is one thing, but when you take a big company acting in an official sense then there is really nothing to blame anymore. And again, important to…
