I found 3DTraining Institute (3DTi) the only school that gives you a solid foundation in 3D. Their courses are well designed and cover all topics. I took the 3dsmax course in 2020 during the pandemic helped me to learn the software and techniques to create 4 in-demand portfolios i.e Architectural Interiors, Logo animation,…
John, it's not the violence alone that is the problem. My ex was a worried mother actually, anti video game. her biggest concern wasn't the violence, it was the fact that her kid didn't go outside an play with friends, and seemed to be always depressed. She was concerned with him being anti social and getting addicted to…
A year ago I did a test with maxscript and binary files: http://board.flashkit.com/board/showthread.php?t=759766 basicly a teapd with 512 faces (1024 tris) including Vert table, face tableand UV vert + face table: the reason why I wanted to have such tiny files was because back then I was researching and developing a 3d…
From a users stand point I can't count on plug-ins staying up to date. So I either create my own version, which takes a lot of time, but at least I can maintain it going forward, or I do without. Which really hurts if there is a must use feature in that bundle of goodness that I really need but can't easily recreate. Sadly…
https://youtu.be/yk-vqmothuY I 3d printed a motor & light mount that attaches to the front of my lens where the lens hood usually mounts. While I may only mount the motor the cool thing is everything adjusts when I zoom so I don't have to adjust the motor mounted to the rails every time I adjust zoom, I can get rid of the…
I was talking with an artist at work about this as he was trying to decide what card to get and after I did some reading I found out this. 1: Workstation cards have open ended code that will allow you to change the way the card will handle information. Along with a programmer you can get the card to do just about anything…
@GulliblePotato No one I know was ready for the industry after uni including myself. If you went to uni for this it means that its something that you really want to do so even if you are not there yet you should not give up. I was in your shoes once, I didn't get any replies and if I got one it was a simple no. Which only…
@Nosslak : I can't speak for Machin3, but ... I can confirm that one can definitely do that with the current version - and it doesn't even require adding these extra custom decals to the library, they can just live in your scene as a regular object (atlased plane) or as little precut labels. Merging any piece of flat…
Using Vray you can go the easy way by setting the image sampler to progressive path-tracing, set time to unlimited, and getting out your guitar or making a cup of tea, and simply wait for the noise to clear.......... Or you can learn what's going on 'under the hood' by leaving the image sampler as adaptive and delving into…
Yea the light bleeding kepted kicking us real hard too - We had make all of our UV's so the though was always they had just been packed far to tight, we packed them looser and looser but it would not fix it and it ended up with most of our UV space was just blank because there was so much space between islands. Another big…
