Thats about how it all works. One thing you missed is the point of the checker map - it allows you to fine tune your UVs by looking at the way the squares stretch on the model. Personally I tend to go for a grid with interlocking circles and some noise for the ultimate in accurate unwrapping. There was a nice one that…
Yes this is my friend. Obviously what he says he does hold true, if the script fails you can rely on old methods to get you through. However, I don't think this discredits the use of any scripts at all @Mossbros you did at one point during our conversation write: "Some places don't allow you to run scripts" which I was…
if you hold ctrl + alt it behaves like the old tool would. I don't think there is a way to set that as default. In fact I don't think you can set any new defaults in the UV editor for things like relax or pack dialog menus. I think setting new hotkeys works but any other defaults, forget it. FIngers crossed that the first…
The last one I saw with a GPU was the HP tx2500. It had an ATI HD3000 in it. I know the new tablets are expensive but frankly drawing directly on the screen has definite advantages. I can sketch and sculpt all day on my old TC4400 and it just feels natural. There is an odd disconnect when using my Intuos on my desktop.…
Not really feeling the firefly logo at the moment. The size and placement is just... odd. Why would a firefly decide to stencil a tiny little logo on the floor like that? It would make more sense to have it be larger and on the wall behind her. You could use the value and color contrast to frame Ellie against the…
ishi_kawa_cg: those models are looking sweet man! hey guys i found one of my old models from 2 years ago and did a quick test as well as some comparison shots, i have to say that for a 13k model i am really surprised how it hold up with the new shaders although the faceting is kinda obvious marmoset 2: marmoset1: marmoset…
colors combos to avoid for color blind gamers: Green & Red; Green & Brown; Blue & Purple; Green & Blue; Light Green & Yellow; Blue & Grey; Green & Grey; Green & Black. Blue and Red teams are almost as old as competitive sports themselves. Studies have shown that red teams have a slight advantage over blue just because of…
People don't hate styluses. They hate obligatory styluses. For most uses it's much nicer to just use a finger, so old tablets (optimized for stylii) feel clunky. You have to grab your tablet AND your pen. You have to hold the pen the entire time. I'm an artist myself and even I don't like to use my tablet PC as a tablet…
i dunno mop, the FIRST thing i thought of when I heard muse was radiohead. muse didn't make the states till the 'time is running out' song hit the radio.. which, for that song his voice sounds ALOT like old school OKcomputer radiohead...at least to me. but I Went back and found older muse stuff since.. the comparison…
Hey guys/gals, I wanted to do some LODs in Maya 2018. I already know about the reduce function but is there any other app you'd suggest I use? (other than simplygon) Thanks
