Re: Thinking of switching from 3DSMax. Maya or Blender?
Interesting discussion. I have smaller scope of experience than most but for Indie dev I think Maya LT is good choice largely because of the rigging and animation tools. Especially with plugin like advanced skeleton I am able to make complex rigs and animations in just a few days with minimal experience there. I don't do a… -
Re: More jobs for artists??
You'd lose money on that bet Pak. We divide the tasks up as much as we can here into people specialized in hi poly, in texturing ,in animating, in rigging, in materials, in FX. This move to subdividing the process is vital to ensuring we continue forward as an industry because technology is becoming incredibly complicated… -

My own ZBrush questions!
Yep, now it's my turn to ask about a few things Zbrush/3dsmax related... I'm currently working on an animated character for university, it doesn't have to be anything spectacular, but I figured I'd do a displacement map in Zbrush for the mesh so I can rig/animate the lowpoly (source mesh) and just use the displacement map… -
Facerig avatars
Hello Polycount! I haven't really done any serious 3d work since around 2007-2008, and when I finished school I didn't have a great portfolio so I wound up spending a lot of time treading water in tech support jobs that didn't especially interest me. I've been doing a lot of commissioned 2d illustration in the last few… -

Re: Animation in Maya
Search for "Building Skeletons" in the Maya help. There is a diagram of what a character skeleton should look like. It sounds like you have a lot to learn at the moment. Making a good rig that's easy to animate with is a lot more than building the skeleton. There are some rig generation scripts around that will help you… -

Re: Different T-Pose advantages?
Yea I agree any custom rigging I do is always along XYZ, then once it's all rigged up and is a functional skeleton it gets deformed to the bind pose. Just like the mocap pose doesn't need to be the same as the bind, the bind doesn't need to be the same as the rig default. Hands and fingers are probably the most note…
