Thanks Tacticman. The initial sides were something like 24, but I deleted it into just 3 edges and then rotational arrayed it and mirrored it. That way I could just work on one little section and have the whole thing made at the same time. Trick is to add a cylinder or a circle shape there too to make sure its matching the…

Hm... Did you bake the light of your scene ? All elements in your scene that has lights not baked is lit in real time which is really heavy. It is hard to keep lights baked all the time when modifying your scene, therefore, the best is to work in Unlit mode. And switch to Lit only when your scene is baked. Also look at how…
Been working on this sporadically over the past month. Started out doing an animation for fiddlesticks after being inspired by a cinematic animation. I used the hotel transylvania rig but it was difficult to think up an interesting animation it ended up looking like a civil war fighter with rifle and bayonet. I was doing a…
I prefer Directx and I don't know why. I'm not a technical guy. All of the actual shader, lighting, maps, model viewing stuff is tops, very cool, needed wanted stuff.. I think it would be slick to have a 3d model viewer that had diagnostic features that would help in pointing out errors of a model's construction or the…
Looks good. Definitely an improvement. The stuff I would look into fixing would be the shape of the chin and nostrils, mainly. The chin seems very boxy in the perspective view, I would add another row of polys to round it out, and make the tip of the chin a bit narrower in the front view. Also the nostrils in the side view…
I realized last month that people that use Safari to view embedded YouTube videos can sometimes not be able to watch those videos and will receive a message: “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community. Learn more.” The “Learn more” link doesn’t even work. I believe you have to have your history…
I'll make a note of the request here, any request you can shoot directly to me. "Should 32 sides be a minimum for a cylindrical bake in Marmoset?" It really depends on the viewing distance for the assets. With 16 sides on your mesh, you can straighten the skewing with a custom cage, but it's always going to be 16 sides so…
Jesse, I don't want to step on your toes too much but the ribbon is far from perfect at least not yet. I'll ignore the vertical layout since it doesn't have a compacted mode. 1) Giant gaps bloat these windows larger than they need to be. This is most visible in the "compacted" view. 2) Another feature of the "compacted"…
Virtuosic, overall I think your reel was decent and good looking, but to address your points: 1. The fly through is dynamic, showing what the experience will look like in-engine - So? To be honest, I got bored about half way through watching the reel I feel its too long, and dwells on the same models for too long a period…
