Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
You just said a mouthful fellow, the last long term job had me take an anime based test and was in Japan. Several other jobs that I didn't get the opportunity to sign on to had me take anime based tests as well, and these were major league places. I am more of a monster fellow, but this shouldn't be discouraged, because… -
Somethings feels wrong
Over the past week, I've been trying to follow many lighting & rendering tutorials to increase the quality of my shots.

Another KRISS vector (gun)
I have been meaning to post this a few weeks ago but haven't had the chance. When I started on this I didn't know that so many others have modeled it as well. I will be making things other than guns after this, so please don't think i'm going to model only guns. I have been following it as close to the real thing as I can,… -

Hi all- my current project involves quite a bit of wiring and pipe, for which I am using a fair amount of extrude along curve and animation snapshot off motion paths to create the shapes I need.

Improving texturing ability.
Hell all, my first post on Polycount. I am someone who took a psuedo-break from 3D ( as in still doing it, but not as much ) and now plan to get serious once again and hopefully land a job. One thing I need to take a look at is my texturing ability. The following 3 images are simple textures I created rendered on a flat… -
Any tips for normal mapping curved surface?

Spiral Staircase Camera, How should I do it?
Hey! So, I am currently trying to make a camera in the centre of a spiral staircase that is meant to follow the player to the top. The idea is that I want the camera in the middle to just follow the player as they move up, and have the camera turn so that the player is always in view. I thought about using a Matinee, but I…
