Hi, this is an English rewrite of my Japanese Blog post, about a simple idea on how to rig shoulder armors. The original blog post can be found here(Japanese). http://polygonomicon.blog111.fc2.com/blog-entry-179.html Since it seems to be somewhat handy to some people, I decided to rewrite it in English, so we could share.…
I'm
getting into digital miniature sculpting and have set myself a little project
for the purposes of having a goal. I'm
going to make an A-Z of monsters from D&D. Main goals are to take many miniatures to completion and learn as much
as I can along the way. Rules
guideline: at least one letter per week

Ok today not really a problem but a request of open opinions .... This is the grass I have been making the last days , I must say that this , altough it may be seeming easy , is what really gived me the biggest problems to get a proper look , I remade textures by scratch at least five or more times , I even downloaded a…
Things got complicated. I might have to drop out of the Intro to Modeling class at a local community college before it starts. I got cast as a recurring extra for a new TV show. I play a uniformed police officer, possibly for next few months, possibly all the way to next May. Well, at least I am supposed to work 2~3 days a…

As is our tradition on April 1, the anniversary of our immaculate birth, we present you with our new forum theme. May your day be covered in sweetness.
I can see an argument to be made that a mod is very specific, and a lot of work will go into one aspect of your skills. So what ever your game art style may be, you might be making that style for some time. While on a portfolio you can rattle off this and that, and you leave your options open to be diverse.

Served 7yrs 1983 - 1990, 2nd Cavalry Regiment (Reconnasance), 1st Brigade (Heavy Mechanised), Australian Army. Been out a fair while, so my military ordnance knowledge might be showing it's age but anyhow just something to keep in mind.
