So I have finished and published my skin to the workshop, it can be seen here. The objective was to creat a 70s/80s sci-fi skin and here is my vision of it, I gathered inspiration from arcades and diffrent landscapes/space art etc., I wanted to have an overall "mysterious feel", I didn't have one/many specific place(s) for…
I'm at a non-games company now. Wayfair. I help run a group of around 70 artists doing 3d rendering. Every single person (except receptionist) has a standing desk. There are about 3200 people here, 7 floors filled with standing desks! It's insane how much they spend on office equip and supplies. But hey it's corporate…
-The shadows should be fairly dark and tend towards a very saturated orange-brown color -The main mass of color should be a yellow-orange -Only the brightest points should approach an actual yellow and even then fairly desaturated since they'll be close in value the the highlights, which would be a near-white yellow color…
Update* Another days work done, didnt get as far as I wanted to though. Hit a little bit of a wall about how I wanted the step banister to look but it seems to have turned out ok. Next step is to clean up some areas then get straight into Zbrush to detail this bad boy up. Hopefully the detailing wont take too long as…
it's all smoothing group issues. max does NOT like having your whole model on one smoothing group. if you break it up into different groups (i.e. anywhere there is a change in surface tangent of like 70* say) then when you project your normals again, it will look much better. I also like using a small offest with a push…
You could replace your mobo for around $60-70 that would support +4gig but at that point why? (since you probably would spend $120-150 in total just to up the ram) Since can get a new i3 core setup for around $350-400 (New CPU/Mobo/Ram) it's abit of a coin toss. (also helps if you know the motherboard manufacture and model…
I keep having problems with mine (250gb slim) when I'm going back to the dashboard all the time. If I'm playing a game on disk...or an arcade game..or watching netflix...anything...theres a 70 percent chance that my xbox will hang on a black screen. It has been doing that since 2 days after I purchased it. It seems like it…
parasite eve was awesome. 'the cinematic rpg' lol. and 10 was also awesome as hell. one of the few FF's I actually played all the way through. most i only get ~60-70% through. and fuckin' hell.. I've gotten to disc 3 of FF9 THREE TIMES but every time either my save dies or i lose my mem card... I want to try it again but I…
well its a 1200W PSU and i took off everything but mem HDD 2CPU and 1 GPU i think it should be enough even if its on 60-70%? so i dont think its PSU and those are pretty expensive, if ill buy another it would be 1200W+ Any chance its one of the CPUs? should i try those some how? (i really dont wanna mess with tose CPUs,…
I told a designer at work about your dreams of being an uber designer do everything guy, his advice was "build a time machine and go back 30 years". And actually, that's great advice, if you look around at indygames done by very small teams of 1 or 2 people they look like games from the 70's and 80's. [ame]…
