the dof is a little extreme, i tend to hate when its anymore than barely noticeable but thats just me. i also feel like there is quite a bit of blue in your scene, i would try and add more color variation with the lighting (similar to what you have at the end of the hallway) as well as adding some variation to your…
You should either switch to a better version of Lightbox for your images where you can rightclick and save them. Alternatively you could just ditch Lightbox completely, enlarge your pictures a little and have bigger versions available upon clicking them (just opening the picture with no frills). For my site I went with the…
git gud casul :poly142: On a serious note, I totally understand why you would hate it at first. DaS requires a fair bit of time getting used to. It didn't really click with me until I was past 5 hours mark. If you're willing to do that, then it is a really rewarding experience. It punishes when you screw up, but also…
Started with Maya, pursued with 3DSMAX and XSI, learnt Blender last. I hated it at first because I thought it was too different from the other one. Then I gave it the same dedication as I gave to the others.. Result: I'm faster at modelling with it than the others. It's all personal really. I discovered I'm much faster…
No, it's this industry. It's short term thinking, short term planning and short term goals and thinking of employees as expendable and not as assets you want to keep. Just think how many (or rather few) studios really make an effort to keep staff, to offer them thought-out career plans and help them to educate themselves…
Ah yeah Expendables, that's where that other tank pixel render is from (All 3D models rendered inside 3dsMax, thread for render setup) For today: I started actually working on a super low low pixel count game ;) . It's part of the LOWREZJAM 2014 competition where the only major rule is that the game has to fit inside 32 x…
Looks really solid, pretty much exactly what I would build if I was going to build something right now. You should be able to just drop the OS disc in and follow the prompts. You might MIGHT need to go into the bios and set up the DVD drive as a boot drive, but ASUS main boards are pretty good at detecting it and if not…
@jacopoS Wooo thanks so much for your extensive feedback! This is incredibly helpful - you help me with spatial aptitude. I updated the top hand topology to your 'one pole left' example. About the poles/5-6 legged stars: I was aware and unhappy with those, but there are a couple of reasons. - The basemesh is not meant for…
Yeah there lies the problem, it would have to be started in small scale and expanded from there. A small society that was completely self sufficient wouldnt be impossible and hopefully more and more would see the benefits of that, especially in an economic crisis. Arguments against all this would be the "forbidden planet"…
Hm I thought I replied to this, but my PC must have lost power while posting or smth. Anyway, I made some chains a while ago: each shackle uses 20 polies, and the alpha'd strips are 16 polies per 6 shackles. You could also connect some verts on the character and extrude those polies, but that wouldn't be a good solution at…
