Remember sir, talents are learned. An individual artist practice the heck out of onething before calling it a DONE. So dont down yourself, you will get good at it as you practice more and more every day. Aside from Sculptris there is Gimp tool for painting, and Blender for 3d modeling which you can prefer if you are…
I had to make this decision a while ago when I built my new PC. What it really comes down to is if you're PC is going to be a dedicated work system, then go quadro. If you want to do some gaming as well, get a high performance GTX. If you want a quadro, and want to game, you'll need to invest a fair bit of money into your…
I only have 4 GB of ram on this system (laptop, not planning on building a tower or buying a W8 tablet until next year) and so only dedicate 2.3 GB to it. I have my eye on some 2x 4G gb sticks but I don't have $60 to spare. Projection brushes render any brushes in 3D, like the 3D brushes that were in CS5, so that you can…
I also have a question - I know there's a whole thread dedicated to Modo, but wondered how the modeling is compared to Max? I've been using Maya for years but mainly do modeling/texturing and hardly do any rigging or animation, so would prefer something more modeling focused. I know people praise Modo for its modeling…
Ryan, I can't express how awesome this has been helping you develop this awesome program, tool, utility along the way. It has saved me so much time with everything. I'm gonna be pitching it to hopefully get a good number of licenses for our guys at work. All this hard work you have done on this and dedication has really…
If you didn't understand passerby's post, then a dedicated tutorial on water in UDK is going to go over your head also. Check out some of the getting started tutorials for UDK on udn (http://udn.epicgames.com) There are also some getting started bits included with UDK. Read up a lot on computer graphics, as nothing he…
Nobody else mentioned this, but fanny means your butt in the US and 'fanny packs' which were little bags on a belt that you hang off your side/by your rear were popular in the late 80s/early 90s and that's the only context Americans have for it. The major gripe my brother's girlfriend had when she was over here was the…
Yeah sorry about that, since we're still a relatively small studio we don't have a dedicated HR person, so when a client like GBX or Infinity Ward needs a lot of stuff done, everyone kinda drops what they are doing an focus fires on that, when we do resume average work load it can be easy to forget what was going on…
Oh and one other thing I forgot I like events like the "noob challenge" were a piece of concept art gets posts and a bunch of people dig in, no real "winner" it's more of an exercise like life drawing but for environment artists. These types of exercises seem to get people engaged and working a little bit like a team, at…
Wow. I know this thread is from last year, but has anyone gotten this to work in Max without seams? This would be a big time saver for those of us making several small assets on a weekly basis, as I don't have to dedicate an entire day adding control edges to round my corners. Also, is there a way to use this with Light…
