I had Ashely as a teacher and I can only say good things about him. He knows the pipeline, he teaches it and he takes time for feedback - within and outside of the course. Also his feedback is on point and clear not just some ramblings. So I doubt that he is asking about the basics of what a course should look like to make…
So I'm doing a little project for my portfolio while off school. I decided to do something somewhat straightforward as I've not modeled in about 3 months. This last semester I was learning Adobe Flash and such. Anyhow, I bases the model off a blueprint from The-Blueprints.com , and a few other pics of real or modeled…
I will be somewhat suprised if the Austin MMO is StarWars... well not suprised, but I'm not jumping on the bandwagon. The MMO has been in production for a little while already, I can't figure out how they would just now sign an agreement for something as fundamental as the entire world and theme (or maybe it was kept hush…
- Click Here to Play Battle Pong (Updated Jan 10th) - With the awesome help from awesome people from both the polycount community and twitter, I was able to somewhat bring a playable / tweaked version of Pong to life and put it up on some great sites to let others give it a playthrough. I've received some really great…
Thanks for that! Sorry for the double post, and the late reply. Forgot to check back in for a little while. I unfortunately don't have any work saved. I never got anything I was satisfied with, and just kept restarting and playing around more with the brushes and filters but could never quite get it right. Not too long…
For the last couple of weeks I have been using this tutorial ,which was originally intended for 3DS Max, to model a character for the first time ever. Things have been going well until I got to the assembly section where I was asked to connect the ear with the head (first page of that part). Whenever I connect the the two…

Thou my brothers kept playing it (those are the 4 accounts) at really hardcore way (Naxx…
Could definitely do a blog post around that question :) ! The long and short of it though, is that, it's something I'm constantly thinking about from Day 1. For the whole level, and any given location, we work in multiples passes throughout our different milestones (pre-alpha/alpha/beta/gold). So, any given area can go…
I noticed that problems seem to be proportional to the size of the cluster for the operations. Like for example, if I did operations on big clusters: a) operations to the whole cluster b) operations to parts of the big cluster, the results from both a) and b) are lame, with a) being the worst. While if I did a planar only…
