Re: This hydrant look familiar to anyone? :P
I'd give it a C- maybe a C given the time it was done in. Some great advice given. For personal practice you might want to take another stab at it. But this time pick another object and give yourself the same time line. The texture looks less meaty then others I've seen, but needs work. The pieces where clearly textured… -
Re: Haunted House Environment
Greenhouses creep me out, especially ones with dirty/broken windows, overgrown plants, and a door that has fallen off of 2 of the three hinges. Or maybe a screened in patio off the back door you have in the scene? Something to give you a tiny interesting peak at what may lay inside, but not give away the secret? I agree… -
Re: Regular and Professional Graphic card
I was talking with an artist at work about this as he was trying to decide what card to get and after I did some reading I found out this. 1: Workstation cards have open ended code that will allow you to change the way the card will handle information. Along with a programmer you can get the card to do just about anything… -
Re: Rigging a kite
Use morph targets for the kite, to flatten it and inflate it. If you need more control over it you could add a FFD box modifier to it and animate the lattice points. If you want to ripple it you could add noise or ripple before adding FFD. Is the person going to be twisting independently from the kite and you need the… -
Re: Pixel shaders in Max
Hi Techy I also grabbed this shader a while back when trying my hand at Cg, and I actually emailed the fur shader author about the effect and its max portability. Here is some info : ............ 1. I have the whole toolkit installed : toolkit, browser, CGfx viewer, Max Plugin and DX90c. I can browse all the CG shaders in… -
Re: Desperately seeking painting suggestions
Whoa. Major flood of responses. Howdy, and thanks to you all. @Cheapy: No, UT2k4 doesn't do bump maps to my knowledge. I have a bump map that I blend into the texture in PaintShop Pro (a layer that I set to Multiply for the type.) I also have a Multiply layer that is just the grey shading. I'm hoping to use that as a quick… -
Re: Sauerbraten: Now the perfect indi game engine?
Those are some excellent points, CrazyButcher. It is especially true that Sauerbraten is limited in the scope of game that can be currently made for it. Sauerbraten is very much targeted at the development of simple, Quake-style FPS games. If you want more from it, or to create a different style of game, you're going to… -
Re: Non-game/cinema 3d jobs -- defense, medical, etc
I was a beneficiary of these training aids, back during the cold war era. Then as now it's horrendously expensive to live fire exercise field force elements in their particular tools of trade, though obviously pre-digital simulation during my time. Although I do recall whilst on either vehicle or ground designated tasked… -
Re: how many of u non US residents got hired and moved to a US company?
Plenty of Americans do too. :-P Your calculations totally ignore healthcare and cost of living. All the cities in the US with high salaries also have ludicrous housing costs. Who cares if I make 150% as much as in Europe, but houses are 500% as much? That also ignores healthcare, which can be comparable if you are young… -
Re: Guess who didn't play Bioshock?
I was talking about the wider context than that. The essay was on the Cato Institute, which is a Libertarian site. The target audience is other Libertarians. He doesn't need to say "no one should vote", because as a Libertarian I already (by definition) believe in Anarchy (meaning lack of government, not lack of order). So…
