I wouldn't lump lending a game to a friend on the same level as piracy, especially if the game is out of print, or outside the profit window. I look at games like I look at books, its perfectly acceptable to loan a book to a friend. Mostly because you loose the ability to read the book when its not in your immediate…
During the making of video, the devs showed the performance stats of the game going on. During single player, only 2 cores are ever used. During MP, it does rise. So it is not a performance issue, it is a deliberate design choice. But feel free to continue to ignore every point that you don't agree with so you can continue…
hmm as default you are able to do what you want to do in Softimage (thats if I have not misunderstood you) what you have to do is you have to just be nimble with fingers and use hotkeys to keep it a faster workflow.T: points - single or drag-box(with backfacing) E: edge - works with single click or drag-box(with…
Finally a question that is right up my alley. I'm a senior UI designer at my company and it's not a lowly job at all. I'd actually say that I am in a position somewhat above many of the 3D artists because I have a heavy hand in the overall tone of the game because it's not just UI but also all the graphic design and…
Ok so it's been a while since I last updated this, been crazy busy with work so haven't had a lot of time to get much more done. I think I'm gonna call this project done, it's not what I suppose you might call 'finished' but I could spend forever on this and I'd like to get on to some more detailed assets, weapons and…
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meeting where the ad execs said "You know what? Fuck it, let's lie. It's not like gamers have the int0rtubes or anything." Someone at Eidos is fuckin' up. I had high hopes for this game, it's a damn shame it was so poorly implemented. Did anyone else pick this up for PC? I grabbed it…
Ok, been trying to work on some stuff at home and add higher poly to normal poly workflow into my work.. anyhow.. creating a garbage can lid I'm continuing to have issues. Can anyone show me wtf I'm doing wrong? I've done it several ways and I continue to have major issues with my normal not showing correctly on my…
Hey, guys, here's a project I am working on for Senior Port. It is a M24 Chaffee. This is a start to my tank. The biggest challenge so far has been the Turret, some of the curvature around the front is still funky. Tomorrow morning, I plan on continuing to work on getting the tracks in there; I will create the segments and…
A year ago, I started learning 3D modeling. At first, everything was going great – I was quickly grasping the basics, and I really enjoyed it. It seemed simple and clear. But as I dug deeper into it, things got harder. I noticed that I was doing all my work based on tutorials. Whenever I tried to create something on my…
Speaking of good rigs : Anyone knows of a good (preferably free or reasonably cheap) continuous rigged human character for Max ? There used to be one made available from a game company, a blue soldier of somehow cartoonesque proportions IIRC. But I want to find something a bit more robust with good controls and…
