Re: Quick Low poly question : Through or attached
Through is usually best. You can delete hidden faces, parts that are completely inside others, or never seen for some other reason. Though for lightmapping it's usually best to have watertight models (no holes on bottoms or backs), also that's better for reuse because sometimes you can rotate models to make more variety in… -
Re: 3ds Max - Placing UV shells on top of each other
If the objects are exactly the same, it might be easiest to just unwrap one and then instance it around the scene, since it will automatically share the same uv space then. You could also try the copy > paste found in the UV editor. If the geometry of the pieces are exactly the same it usually works quite well, USUALLY.… -
Re: sculpt
Woah got the boringest part done! ie merging the two bodies and turning the self-intersecting mesh into a workable sculpting base. Annoying as hell... Next time I'll just start from a cube ha!

He usually says something like "Oh, okay, I know what that is," after that. On our last project I would demonstrate a bug for a different programmer to which he… -
Re: Are there so few game jobs atm?
What Paul said is very true. Usually, there are less character artists per team than environment artists. Environment art is a whole league of it's own. It can be lots of fun. It isn't an easy position to get into either, but there is more need for environment artists usually. So that raises your chances. Try modeling some… -
Re: Gaea vs World Creator
I haven't seen the last update of World Creator. But I used their soft from time to time for years and their predecessor too where there was a nice feature of creating tiles that being rotated 90 degree in random direction stay seamless . But once I tried Gaea , It was an instant buy and I never looked back. It's so much… -
Character Retopo HELP ( Noob question )
Hey guys I'm working on this character with a bunch of subtools and I'm not sure on the best way to approach the retopolization. For example I have a boot that's divided up into a bunch of sbutools. I want to know how people usually retopo boots. Here's what I got. Do people usually retop the laces together or seperate? Or…
