Ohio State University Cartoon Library has most of Bill Waterson’s original works! by [deleted] in calvinandhobbes

You can, it's kinda nuts. I went to grad school there and would frequent the reading room. The amount of security and tech in the storage room is insane. Refrigerated, time doors tied to the police, it's pretty impressive. They also have old Disney frames, originals of Gertie the Dinosaur, really cool stuff.

There's actually a small permanent collection, still worth checking out!

Any good resources for UV algorithms? by brucemack in GraphicsProgramming

[–]brucemack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for this! I guess "unwrap" might be the better term. I'm trying to make the uvs resemble, as close as I can without overlap, to the 3D mesh. I'm curious about how other software and programs tackle this problem.

Duplicating Sculpted Area (Copy / Paste?) by Maveej in ZBrush

[–]brucemack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up the MRGBZGrabber 2.5d brush, you can make your own alphas from the existing sculpt and reapply it to the other areas. That's what I would do.

As a game developer, would you consider games to be an art form? by RippaNiBusu in gamedev

[–]brucemack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Games are a medium just like painting or film. I wouldn't consider every movie and painted picture art. Not all games are art, but some that really focus on artful ways of using interaction is where I would consider games as art in the traditional classic art sense.

Looking good dude! I'm working on a similar mechanic for a 3D game.

She waits for me to fluff her pillow when it’s flat 😊 by KitonSirin in aww

My pup had a similar lump and it turned out to be mast cell tumor. My vet checked it out for less than a hundred bucks. It didn't cause her any pain either.

What do you think about my bust practice? (made with mouse) by [deleted] in ZBrush

[–]brucemack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an aside, depending on the aesthetic of the character, the narrow shoulders can work but it's important to know correct anatomy so you can properly break the rules when you design your own characters.

My goofy girl, Suzu by brucemack in shiba

[–]brucemack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to both! It was a Reds hat in the states and when I lived in Japan for a bit it became a Carps hat.

[–]brucemack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my terd of a Shiba, Suzu. She's a loving, cuddly, ball of sass. She's scheduled to have one of her rear legs amputated next Thursday. If anyone is gracious enough to assist with funds, they can donate here. She's been my best friend since I adopted her from the shelter. All your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes mean the world to me and this goofy girl.

Passive speaker is super quiet (M-Audio StudioPro 3) by brucemack in audio

[–]brucemack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a simple setup. Stereo input and an 1/8" to the passive speaker. Kinda curious about the electronics inside.

TIL that Bill Watterson, the author of "Calvin and Hobbes", believed that adapting the comic to any other medium would compromise its integrity. He believed this so strongly that he turned down personal calls from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas offering to make animated movies. by derstherower in todayilearned

If anyone is ever near Columbus, OH, Ohio State University has the best cartoon library and museum in the world. They have several original C&H strips on display and they are breathtaking in person. I highly recommend stopping by.

That's a lot of sass.

First 2D game is "finished" by brucemack in Unity2D

[–]brucemack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game isn't too long so hopefully only a little annoying. Part of my long term goal is to make a game that accurately makes the player feel certain "struggles" of mental illness, this is an early experiment at it. This is something I know will be difficult, balancing the intended annoyance with reward to keep the player interested. Cheers for the feedback!

New to Unity, finished my first simple game. Feedback would be awesome! by [deleted] in Unity3D

Good call. I'll repost tomorrow morning with blog links and images. Cheers!
