Re: LPC vol2 #2 - action film - heros & baddies
JohnnySix: I've seen people save poly's by replacing modeled wheels with quads and an alpha to make it a circle. Replacing all 4 wheels will give you the poly's you need for the misc doodads on the car. -
Re: Hello. Which is preferred? A Specialist or a Generalist?
I'll simplify my previous post. Generalist have an easier time finding entry level work and are easily replaced. Specialist are borne from senior positions over time and generally are hard to replace. -
Re: Looking for Efficient Method for Creating Face Variations Without Disrupting Rig
Thank you for your reply! I actually thought about doing this using ZWrap. I would have a default, rigged, optimized 3D model and then I would have a model with desired face shape and using ZWrap I would transform the default model face shape into the desired face shape. But from my understanding, I thought that the… -
Good Idea / Bad Idea?
Hey Guys, Just tryin to get some input on something. Currently I'm trying to beef up my portfolio, and cater it a bit to the companies / games that I'd really enjoy working on. On that note, I was wondering something. Is it a good idea or a bad idea to build an environment based off of a released concept of a franchised… -
[Python][Maya] Delete components
Hi guys, I was making a script that´d delete components replicating Max's behaviour, like when you hit delete on a vertex\edge, it´ll convert that selection to face mode and then delete it. cmds.select(cmds.polyListComponentConversion(tf = True)) faces = cmds.filterExpand(sm=34) if cmds.filterExpand(sm=34):… -
Max vs Maya antialiasing and filtering
I have the following issue - I get much better quality antialiasing when baking in Maya (gaussian filtering, filter size 3, 8x8 samples). I can't replicate the results inside Max (global supersampling hammersley, quality 1.0) and I assume it's due to the filter settings, it seems when rendering to texture 3dsmax disregards… -

Can anyone explain how I'd go about rotating the pivot point of an object in Maya? I've got it woprking once fiddling around with a bunch of componant… -
Yet anoter AKM model to the infinite pile. A must for every 3D weapon artist !
A fun and challenging project, the AKM was modeled (to a certain point) following the "Ultimate Weapon Tutorial" by Tim Bergholz. Seeing the weapons from Metro Exodus inspired me to take it one step further. I tried my best to replicate the real AK and it's functionality. All in all, it was a great learning experience. I… -
[UE4] Cowboy Bebop - Earth 2071 - Fan Art
Hello guys! I really wanted to get my hands on development of stylized environments, so I ended up trying to replicate one of the scenes from "Cowboy Bebop" in Unreal Engine 4.
