So, I recently got a request from a student asking me to mentor him in handpainted texturing. I was ready to do so, but I decided against it after learning it was actually a requirement for his capstone class. Personally, I think it's deeply unethical that his school is requiring its students find professionals to mentor… -

Topic by Mirar · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Environment ArtHeya, I've seen some amazing artwork so far, and wanted to join in on the friendly competition.

Box Modeling - A Method?
Hello there Polycount, Novice to-be Animation student here with a quick question. So far, I have been using Wings 3-D to practice modeling and It's been a great program; I have to admit.

Silo -> Mudbox, t-edge errors >.<
So I am attempting to do some practice sculpting before starting on my weapon for the contest, and I made a nice (or I thought it was) model in Silo to pull into mudbox and practice on. Well, I can't get it to import still, 2 and a half hours after I've started because of these t-edge things. Of course I had no idea what… -

My issue is with leaving the "16 years" language up when, given the subsequent events that unfolded, Pixologic clearly knew that the ZBrush 2022 product had been sold and that the spirit of those words no longer held.
