Re: Maya Flatten Mapping?
Don't relay on auto mapping tools to do your job. Just learn Maya's UV tools and it will be a breeze to unwrap anything. This video helped me a lot with Maya's UV tools. http://vimeo.com/16590844 The only thing he says that you shouldn't follow is the relax tool being useless. If you do the relax tool a little bit and then… -
Re: Gumroad seller experience?
As Beefaroni says having the backing and following from the beginning is very important, Gumroad isn't a magic site that makes you sell more. For me I have quite a good number of followers on my facebook page and artstation which I think has helped a lot. But one thing that makes me want to use gumroad over others is the… -
Re: Portfolio Creation: Bringing my 2D concepts to 3D
Thanks for all the crits guys! I haven't gotten around to fixing his mouth or forarm yet but I will definitely do so. Here is where I'm at right now.

Re: Not Your Average Software Debate

Re: Hand painted Bonner orc WIP
hi Thanks for the paint-over and feedback, guys. I made some changes to the orc and followed your painting, shotgun. Don't get me wrong, but the shapes on the eyes and the shoulder are painted shapes and not tattoos so that's what I'm going for. I did however follow your advice on fixing the lighting on it better so… -
Re: Rant about priorities
Shotgun's come around to another path that trails off from this discussion, "following your bliss"... That's what Joseph Campbell called doing what really, really fulfills you, no matter what the cost to your regular life. The thing that you would leave everything else behind to go and do.

Zbrush > Maya. Vertices are screwed up/hard to fix
Hello, When exporting from Zrush (Decimation master) I get the following two problems: (top image) I get the following cluster of vertices (These can be fixed in Zbrush when caught before decimating/merged together in Maya) (Bottom image) The most annoying one.
