Re: Suggestions? "Pre" Portfolio Help
Indeed, you should work on the speed - instead of spending ages tweaking and perfecting one model, get a few on the go and finish them up to a decent level, but don't obsess over them. As Thomasp says, it's a reality in the workplace, and if you can't get up to speed before getting a job, you're gonna have a tough time… -
Re: Acer Aspire One - anyone got one?
Picked up a black 8.9" aspire one yesterday evening at fry's for $250 with the 160 gig hdd, been messing around with it and set it up with office 2007 / photoshop cs3. It boots up PS pretty damn quick. Having it on wifi's been useful for diagnosing some router issues we've been having lately. Big props to Acer for… -
Re: 2 custom applications.
some other ideas: - time stamp in the XML file ,- and in some html layouts (though sometimes I would not like it in there) - compression of the images after the session (so that a copy of the PNG files is created that can be either resized but also converted into a different format such as JPEG) - snap function of the… -
Re: RTS Zombie - 400 Polygons
The presentation in the turnaround really isn't helping. The layout is fine, but it's that light grey background. Drop it to a dark one, keeping neutralcloser to, for example, 1e1e1e (the very background of the forums)and your texture will be much more easy to read. Or maybe it's just me, CRT and all? I do know LCDs are… -
Re: uv mapping/texture mapping
though maybe not a super beginner's help but have a look at: http://renderhjs.net/textools It has many steps simplified in just 1 tool or button. All you need for basic unwrapping are:* the big open/Close uv Editor button (don't forget to select the object though) * Some of the beige buttons like split by smoothing groups… -
Re: lscm/pelt unwrapping for max5/6/7 - working test!
thx, but the real job was done by the blender3d guys and that opennl dude. I "just" ported it to max, but all the hard maths behind it was done by them... about the viewport, I will see what I can do, I dont remember it being a problem in 5.1, it could be that the way max7 "updates" viewport has changed or I was just blind… -
Re: [Portfolio] PixelMagus
Hey PixelMagus, well I like how all your art is on the front page and is easily accessible. Though I think that all the images on the left side of the page are not the best layout for a page. Like autocon said your images load quite slowly (make sure you convert your images into web ready images in photoshop, doing so by… -
Re: Interchangeable Equipment
Youll also have to make armors for each gender and race.You might also want to consider adding a few extra slots in case people want to make extra items like backpacks or robes.If you put the extra slot in there they wont have to do a work around like adding the back pack to the neck slot,They just model it in that slot… -
Re: [ Portfolio ] - Jesse Hall , Environment Artist
I think all your work is great. Layout of the site is fine, my only gripe is flash, (why does everyone use that stupid lightbox flash thing?) which is slower and more cumbersome than a straight up HTML folio. But that's my own personal opinion. I certainly wouldn't hold it against you if you were looking for a job . . .… -
Re: Vertex Optimization techniques
Why so much emphasis on optimization? It seems to be a pretty common sentiment around here that you shouldn't optimize to the point that your assets don't look good especially when normal maps are part of the equation since that would imply that you are running on at least semi-modern hardware. Are you developing for…
