They work for some things and others they don't. They pretty much are a must for animation but not every part needs to be video. Long explanations of basic things most people already understand don't need to be recorded while I stare at an unmoving cursor. I also don't care how busy your day was or what your cat was doing…
It wouldn't be trivial when so many don't actually grasp it (which is often enough the case). And I still don't see how anything in the first post negates the concept of community or sharing ideas. Success can be a deceiving thing. One could model a car and think they were successful in creating it, unaware that having…
Thanks guys. Praetus - I think you're the first person who said the attack feels floaty. But, looking at it, if you are talking about just the jump up, I can see what you mean. I was a little torn with the attack. I wanted to match it to the LoL style, but the first thing about it is that none of the abilities (that I saw…
No problem. I get what you are saying. The pics are from the students assignments for low poly modeling with only diffuse textures. We have broken down the 3d art class into several different modules. So to teach one step at a time. Next will be UV Unwrap, and normal baking. Then we will move on to Specular, Ambient…
I never understood the reasoning of some "artist users" that AI is sooooo helpful.. there might be some improvements in some tools using some cleverness.. (or using AI in some other areas than art) but what we see (in the arts domain) is mostly those "artists users" who do some things quickly but also totally fail on some…
I don't intend to devalue any of the advice sent my way, and input from industry professionals is even more appreciated. I like to be really sure of the steps of a process before I start it, to minimise how much has to be re-done. So rather than asking for other/quicker ways to do it right after being told one, I'm more…
As with @polycount.com email addresses, Polycount Cottages (the GSI-hosted ad-supported ones, not the .net paid ones) are in the process of being moved/overhauled/shut down. If you want to retain access to your cottage, GSI needs to set you up with a new account on the new servers. As a bonus, you'll also get a new domain…
I'm pretty new to Zbrush having spent the last 2 weeks burning through the Three "Intro to Zbrush" video tutorials by Michael Pavlovich, I've learnt a great deal on the inner workings of Zbrush and how to make a good start on getting sculpts done but I'm wanting to find a bit more information or general advice on the step…
Looked at making the shoulders narrower and the trainers chonkier then took a day away from it so I could come back to it with fresh eyes. Definitely think it was the right call as these two changes have made a pretty big difference despite being pretty small and simple (if that makes sense?) My next step after this is…
