Re: Ork Trukk for UT3 (image heavy?)
It is in the advanced settings in the transfer maps tools in Maya. I don't know if Max has a similar setting. If you're using Maya, it makes a huge difference in the bake, and it's something I stumbled on by accident. Regarding bolts, what I mean is that if you take a piece into zbrush or mudbox, you don't need to import… -
Re: Seeking artschool recommendations (Long read)
I used gnomons school cost estimator, but I am sure it will be more expensive. The tuition for vanarts was also just what was on the page for international, and likely will be more too >.< Housing is something that I know will basically double or more the cost of some schools, so right now I am just trying to establish a… -

Thanks @Olingova ~ The cockpit was one of the things I spent most time playing around with different designs, so I really appreciate the feedback on this :) The things on the front are supposed to be antennas, I had experimented with guns somewhere on the cockpit, but I couldn't get them to fit in a way I thought looked… -
Re: Sea Bunker - WIP
