Re: Alternative Phone Carriers
I recently switched to t-mobile based on cost. The plan is similar to what Zac said. I believe it's more like 100 a month for the most basic with two people on the plan, although they advertise it at 80 (40 a piece), there are extra fees that bring it up. It's unlimited calls, unlimited internet. However you only get 3G or… -

Re: Converting polys to Sub D Problem
Another thing. The normal map isn't picking up the top detail of the HP barrel for some reason. Even though the envelope is encompassing the LP and ive optimised it the best I can. You can see here a previous bake of a slightly higher LP model and the detail on the top of the barrel. (556 Tris). Now on the new bake which… -
Re: Airbørn
optimization idea: would it be possible to use an AAAA8 compressed DDS texture for those detail normal masks (rgb empty, only Alpha with 8 bit) and instead of checking the color values, check for pixel brightness? given that you have 8 different "submaterials" (different detailmaps) you would simply use 0, 32, 64, 96, 128,… -
Re: Shadow on terrain is really lowres
It only has 16 quads so it is tiny. At res 8 it means a 256x256 lightmap for the terrain of which about 160 pixels would be used for the quads. That is not very sharp, although I would expect to get better results than what you have. You would be better off using a landscape, the old terrain system may no longer be fully… -

Parallax Test - Low Poly Ac Unit
Hello guys need critic for a model i made recently. I used Parallax mapping instead making grills,curtains and control panel geometry. Its 160 Tris right now. Planned as no Parallax mapping for LODs. But become little controversial does that approach or making base model full geometry and loading another models for LOD… -
Re: Online colleges worth it?
You may want to try one course before you start an online program. It also depends on what type of education that you are after (modeling, animation, etc.). Escape Studios, for example, has some good training for CG (Maya modeling, etc.), but it there are no "grades>" It is "self-study" whereby you learn only if you… -

Re: Max not baking out top few pixels of maps
As a rule of thumb, you never want to use something that does slight overall distortion, like Pelt or Relax. At least not on straight, mechanical parts, it's unavoidable for some parts (like 1930's car wheel arches). I always unwrap vehicles with just Planar Projection, Flatten/Unwrap and some Cylindrical mapping, plus…
