why did you buy it in the first place though? this kind of device has been around for a long time but has IMO never made much sense in CG due to lack of support/conflict with the very way apps like zbrush handle user interaction. even for navigating 3ds max or maya it is very finicky and just plain slow to work with.…
Sexy stuff man, agree with Tits feedback. I also think you could use a lighter background with some color too maybe. Some of her joints are getting that cg model bent effect, you could move some geo after you pose to fix that. Maybe a little more facial expression and a little more lighting work to soften her face some.…
Hmm, interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, it's (potentially) great news for anyone looking for a job. On the other, the CG boom in Canada is due almost entirely to tax incentives. I certainly wouldn't mind living there nor do I have anything against Canada, but I'm not exactly sympathetic that…
Cleaning out an SSD today and found some random things from the last few months. These are greyscale/preview renders I did for an old project of mine called Thug Life that were done for an article that was published in a german CG magazine, 'Digital Production': With these came a bunch of breakdown images - I only kept…
If you start doing CG you can take photos of bricks for 3d scans in a busy street and if someone ask "what the hell are you doing ?", you can simply say "i'm taking photos for 3D reconstruction and digital preservation of our cultural heritage" and get away with it, while in reality you are just taking photos to make…
Plenty of great art books and I can recommend a bunch of those, but CG moves too fast that it is outdated as soon as it is printed, there is no 3D book out there that can compare to the quality of content people like Arrimus3d or warren Marshal are putting out on youtube for free. Even just watching live streams (tor…
The artist's pipeline covers where you should be looking. However these hyper-real, micro pore CG busts are extremely advanced examples of what it takes in terms of experience and discipline too finalise, which will in all likelyhood take quite a number years for you to achieve the skill required to execute at a similar…
a top of the line GPU that has any chance of competing with a gaming PC at release time will cost as much as an entire console. ;) why is it a pain to get things rendered on AMD btw? I find them uninteresting for CG work but that's more down to driver support and how many of our apps seem to have been written with nvidia…
Thanks J0NNYquid, I'll use it for now then I think. If you go to the MotionServed website (owned by Behance) you'll see that they do feature a fair amount of CG work on there, so whether it's something that's only just picking up or not I don't know? I agree that it is mostly graphic stuff on there though, it just means I…
Well, not me, no matter what the others claim. I know people who could do that but CG Chat isn't even worth the attention for hacking it. I think it's a bunch of script kiddies that are proud that they managed to read a tutorial on how to exploit some board system weakness and now are going through Google's lists and…
