Random question: I've been messing with speed tree for a while - It seems that geometry is rendered MUCH faster than using opacity maps (20fps difference when viewing alternate groups of 10 trees)! What's a good tri-count for a speed tree? Feels weird dropping something 16k tri's, but something around 2k tri's looks about…
There is so many step by step tutorials on this it's ridiculous. Software doesn't matter. If you can't translate from another program to blender, do more Blender 101 tutorials.…
If you can afford to buy DVD tutorials, then check out Digital Tutors....they got lots of Maya 101 DVDs that are tailored for complete beginners where they walk you through the interface all the way to modeling. Also Lynda.com has some interesting DVDs. They are all pretty good and like I said aimed towards the beginner…
I wanted to reply to this yesterday, but couldn't because of some goofiness with my phone. Upon close inspection of your AO Settings in ZBrush, they don't look right to me, and that may be why you had a bad render in the first place. Try bumping up your rays to at least 600, and your Angle to 150 ~ 160. That may help you…
Radiation levels reached 800 mSv 1.1 kilometers from the plant today. However, the issue is the 600,000 fuel rods which could melt that are in pools outside of the containment vessels. If those melted then it would be a disaster much worse than Chernobyl, but I digress. That isn't what this thread is about. Monitor…
As soon as I saw "intense", I was going to mention the Octane 101, which is basically an Everclear daquiri. But as soon as I saw non-alcoholic, I realized I got nothin'. Apparently I'm too tame. You people have some seriously whacked tastes. And I swear I'm one of the last human beings on Earth to despise the taste of milk.
I am trying to be minimalist too (my 16m² studenthome room could be still called 'spacey' )... and I recently had to help a few people move... it really is almost scary. It sure seems to be a lot worse with females, though. Have you ever been at IKEA (the temple of useless crap) with a woman? It's my worst nightmare I tell…

Helpful feedback is welcome :) these pieces are ones that i have done over the past few weeks. the last one being the most recent.

Spent the whole day modelling this. Still a lot of work to do though... I stuffed up on the metal receiver part. After I've done the main rifle, I'm going to model a scope for it.
