Discussion for experienced 3d artists: The 80/20 rule for modeling
What are the 20% of your techniques/procedures/tools/etc that give you 80% of your results? What would you pick if you had to boil your work down to the most important principles that you use every day? Curious what people's thoughts are about this, I'm sure there must be some variation across different specializations,… -

Grass rendering problem
Hello I've been making some grass in Max, I'm happy with it but when I start to bake a normal map it looks kinda thinner and it makes some blades disappear. I also did a quick render in Max with F10 and I see the same problem. Why is that? High Poly (Front view from Max) Normal (Baked in 4k, downres + black bg for better… -
Re: MaxScript: Playback Curve Editor Friendly
This is Max 2014. Performance was improved in Max 2014. That why I had to find a scene with 3 characters. :) In Max 2014 here are the numbers with 20 objects selected and animated over 60 frames on my PC. With one skinned character showing but never selected. Curve Editor Open without the script 19-20 FPS Curve Editor Open… -
Re: Moving to Seattle, need advice or roommate
If you opt to live in the city, like I do, what I have found is that the 520 floating bridge is usually pretty quick in the morning but can get back upped during the evening rush (5-6ish). However, given the increasing construction on the east side of the bridge, the morning commutes are starting to see traffic again.… -

Re: Torchlight 2
I found this, so I guess after NG+4 it's just the same thing repeating. So I'm gonna guess it's infinite times but it stops at NG+5(?). * NG+1 starts at level 51. * NG+2 starts at level 81. * NG+3 starts at level 100. * NG+4 starts at level 120. * NG+5 starts at level 120 too. -
Re: Blizzard's "next gen MMO" goes unannounced
WoW will still be running, but it'll be free to play while the new MMO will be out. People will be slowly migrating to the brand new MMO while WoW will be F2P, allowing people to just play it for what it is. I mean, that makes sense right? Blizzard might put in a micro transaction market into the F2P WoW while the biggest… -
Re: Spiral Knights!
In a nutshell, repetitive combat and a poor F2P business model. The combat is pretty fun, if a little button mashy. It just gets so repetitive so quickly. It's not even the "grinding" that I have a problem with here. Your first challenge is a jelly. The next is two jellys. The next is three jellys. After that is three…
