They have to be .DIB or .XPM format. I usually convert TGAs to XPM using Autodesk's "imgcvt" utility that comes with Maya. It should be runnable from any location since it's in the global Maya path, you can just do the following: 1. Start -> Run -> "cmd" 2. Navigate to your icons folder ( DOS style command like "cd…

To be fair even though the sky is the limit in terms of level of detail and rendering quality, I think it's fair to say that the process itself can be painful at times ... especially when it comes to certain tools.

If a small company of around 100 employees all used the same copy of XP and Office, or they were an effects house who all used cracked copies of MAX, something like that. Then the software publisher would have to get wind of it, and in the case of around 100…

You'll realize that once you'll try the Blender method of tapping a transform hotkey and just moving the mouse around to…

The user can point and click to move to various pre-set locations and move the camera 360° to view the…

Art test for a job application. I was asked to do a 3D character in the same art style as the ones in Plants VS Zombies. I was also asked to come up with my own zombie type so I went for a Hipster zombie. I thought that could be a pretty fun character to make. I have a strong preference for hard-surface modelling and…
