Re: How to keep the same size of obj when transferring from one program to another
Obj is a much less complicated format than fbx, because it contains less information about a scene. I guess the simplicity is the reason, why many developers like it. It is also a very old (but relieable) format, and available for even exotic softwares. Fbx is constantly expanded and maintained by its owner autodesk.… -
Re: 3ds max: XRefs for character animation
Yeah, I think last time I tried XRefs was around 2012-2014 as well. Well, bummer. Refs are so handy in Maya, after working with them I can't even imagine any really robust and flexible workflow in which you can roll out some major updates to rigs during animation without it. Renaming is one thing, but something more… -

Re: Couple of big questions
25 and gonna take 3 yr program, so you'll be close to turning 30 and apply for an ENTRY LEVEL position??? My opinion for your age group is the self-study path. If you can't learn from a $35, $15, $6 or free video tutorial, a career as a game artist is probably not optimal for you. I don't mean to insult. Think about it,… -

Re: Top three real time games artists in the world 2012
Damn, and here I was thinking I was pretty arrogant when I told a girl my cock was like a baby. Also, 2012? Seriously? We're barely in the second month, let alone third...do you work in advertisement? For cars? Or Maybe Autodesk or something? But seriously, this is based upon your opinion, and the worst part, I'm not even… -
Re: 3D Art - Whats your story?
it started when my dad brought home a Sinclair ZX81 and showed me how to make simple graphics with the "graphic" characters. Moved on to a VC20, C64 (Geos paint!), my Dad's XT (MS paintbrush), Amiga (DPaint, Autodesk Animator). Got my first 3D experience with 3D Studio DOS (r2.5 I think?). I didn't dabble with 3D for a few… -
Re: Normal Map Errors in Max
Due to my impatient nature I did a quick mockup of your model. Hope you don't mind and it's of course a very reduced testcase so it's most likely not valid for all situations. I simply put some chamfered boxes and cylinders together for the "High"-poly.Please ignore the lazy uv-layout also Though the highpoly is lacking… -
Re: 3D Studio Max on grid...
If you want to do this, you need to be in 3d snap mode, if you use axis constraints make sure that you have (at least) the z-axis enabled. if you dont use axis contstraints, you should not have any trouble. However note that the "grid" in the perspective viewport is only available for the XY plane, unless you activate a… -
Re: Videogames and Pirating
Lets say you have a pirated copy of Max while you are going to school or learning the trade. You get good at it, get into the industry, and then studio has to buy you a license to use it in house. Companies like Autodesk are well aware of this. They know that if a company hires artists they will have to buy X number of…
