Corrupted Profile on old computer

XFozzboute — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:05:44 GMT

Looks like I might have a corrupted profile on my old computer.
Is there any way I can fix this?
I'm running PCHELPER 360 right now.

Howdy one an all ! It's been far too long since I put my fingers to the 3D keyboard, but having had some spare time since coming back, I've put together this little piece. I went back an fixed up some issues with the texturing and lighting, so I do hope you enjoy this coming home special.Cap finally got a decent pair of duds and a few tweaks, Spidey's been revamped, Iron Man upgraded from the Mark 3 armor to the Mark 7. The others had minor alterations.The backgroundd is a hodgepodge of a variety of old assets I have. My apologies , as I have no idea who made them. Big kudos to Yuri again for his modelling. ;)

3DS Max - Strange text issue

Kerem — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:36:20 GMT

Does anyone know why this is happening? It's just an extruded text, shaped around a spline circle with path deform modifier. Tried everything including re-modeling the letter A but nothing worked. Funny that a simple thing caused many problems... :/

Found the back ground image online, but no author information. Had to try out the new Photoshop CC.

Thanks Rustythe1 or making this great model and allowing us to play with it.

Star Trek - Enterprise Era ships

Borkless — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:50:54 GMT

Recently, I've been on an Enterprise binge. Say what you will about the story quality, but in my opinion, the pre-federation earth ships just have an awesome look to them. Sadly, there's not many of these ships, so I started tinkering about with my own designs.

This is also a bit of a reimagning, inspired by Masao Okazaki's Starfleet Museum. There will be long walls of text, and departures from on-screen canon.

*ahem* without further ado, a blocked in Starfleet Corvette.

The nose of the ship, with two crew-analogs in the background. The nose will feature a deflector dish, similar to the one carried by Enterprise.

The tail is the most roughed-in area at the moment. I'm flipping between more rocket-like engines, or something closer to normal impulse drive. In any case, the impulse engines take their feed off the main fusion reactor.

- - - Fluff time!
A tiny, fusion powered ship, the Delta class was among the first to mount Dr. Archer's "Wildcat" engine. Unlike the enormous ring-shaped warp coils of the Vulcan fleet, Cochrane's original nacelles pumped highly energized plasma around a series of much tighter coils. While much more energy-efficient, allowing the Pheonix to break the light barrier using only a tiny fission reactor, it produced a dangerously unstable warp field. Even with advanced computer monitoring, Cochrane's engines could only manage warp one point eight, and then only though sheer brute force.

Archer's Wildcat engine solved the instability with two staging coils, the famous "Catamarans" where energized plasma is cajoled into behaving properly, allowing higher speeds with far less energy consumption. The Delta class, despite their diminutive size, can cruise at warp two point five, and have been known to punch it up to warp two-nine for brief periods.

Training - Learn 3D Character Modeling

WilliamVaughan — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:24:35 GMT

I�m going to be starting an online training program that is One-on-One Training with a focus on 3D Character Modeling.

I�ve always been a big fan of the �Butts in Seats� method of training over videos and books which is why I have spent so many years in the class room. I tried to come up with the best way to mimic a classroom type training setting and feel that online video conferencing with shared screens is the best option.

I have trained hundreds of students to become professional animators at major studios, such as Rhythm and Hues, Digital Domain, Weta Digital, Monolith, Nickelodeon, Pixomondo, EA Sports, and many other top studios. Not everyone can take a year off to go to school or move to Florida for training but almost everyone has a decent internet connection and technology allows us to work almost as if we are in the same room.

No part of the training will be pre-recorded, scripted or edited and each �Class� will be limited to one student. The class will be a total of 20 hours broken up into 10 two hour sessions. The training will move at the pace of the student and the scheduling of the sessions can be very flexible. Classes will be on a first come first serve basis and will be limited to two students each month.

I�ll be offering a discount to the first batch of the students so stay tuned for more details.

I�m extremely excited about this concept and will be putting all of the pieces together to make this available soon.

Misc - Various Octane Renders

Escelce — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:57:37 GMT

Hi everyone. I hope this is ok, I'll be creating a few renders over the next few weeks while I get to grips with this new renderer and didn't want to start a new thread each time I post something. Below are a few try outs so far. Gordon's far better at this than I am so I'm hoping he will stop by and let me know what I'm doing wrong (hint :-) )

The drone and mini-sub are my models but the Dauntless is by Jose Antonio Pe�as.

The Legion poster is just a play around with the Stardriver mech which is available here.

lovly model overall, all i did was tweak the surface settings and swap out the lighting for an HDRI making it "pop" some more.

Im Back !

Marty Miller — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 11:52:07 GMT

Howdy Folks,

Well after a 4 month scouting mission back in Australia and a 3 month work contract, I decided there are just too many good reasons to stay in Sweden. It was great to be back n Oz and I sure had a hoot of a time. I guess you can say Ive changed and Sydney has moved on. It sure made me appreciate how much Olga and I have here in Sweden. Who knows what the future may bring. Sydney will always be there. On a higher note, Olga an got married finally:D two weeks ago, so we are pretty happy indeed. We are off to Santorini in a couple of weeks for our honeymoon. woooo hoooo ! If time permits, I may just post an update on my Avengers project later today. Must say, its great to be back and also great to see so much quality work from you all. Catch ya soon ;)

Ok one more image of the Prometheus. Paul spent a while converting this so it seemed a waste to just create one image:-) For this one I went back to my old days creating a concept art image. I hope you like it.

Star Trek - Galaxy Dreadnought v2

EremiticWolf — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:48:57 GMT

Ok as I mentioned in D-Jota thread about putting an interior into the Galaxy model. Here is what I did to the Galaxy Dreadnought, this was going to be used in a fan Film I was thinking of making but scrapped that idea for my own idea, and I won't have to worry about getting CBS or Paramount after me. lol

Here is the ol' girl again the U.S.S. Venture, you'll notice that on the primary hull the impulse exhaust ports are larger, it's larger to expel the heat much faster so a stronger impulse field can be generated. Also in this ship the M/AM core has been replaced with a Federation version of the forced singularity core, there are two on this ship, one in the Engineering hull, and a secondary core in the primary hull incase the main one fails or saucer separation.

Think you can make her look good D-Jota, like you did with the original Galaxy model? :)
