I'm usually a 3ds Max person just trying out Modo as Autodesk's Australian tax on 3ds max is starting to annoy me. Some things have been great but it's also making major problems that are huge time wasters. For example every now and then it decides to throw an edge that looks like it's splitting a face but the edge is…
In order to strengthen its team, the Art and Science Allies Laboratory (a Virtual Reality & Multimedia Park lab) is looking for a: Technical Artist Key Responsibilities: - Implement new techniques that increase art quality and efficiency across disciplines - Production pipeline supervising - Communicate solutions with art…
Is that the feather? If you have it isolated as its own tool and the problem still persists, could you upload it somewhere? I'm guessing that because its such a potentially thin mesh, the error might be from the tool itself. Especially if it became secretly inverted, and automasking options are in effect. Otherwise, when…
Yeah, there's a lot of slightly off terminology in the OP that makes things hard to understand. Please provide a diagram or a video showing exactly what you wish to replicate. (as a matter of fact even the thread title itself is gibberish...) Also : - The "red cursor" is called 3D Cursor - Since "gizmo" is not a universal…
Passing along the solution that worked for me based on conversation with Marko S, an Autodesk employee that was able to help me through this whole thing. 1: Blend materials should be available in Maya 2019 and the fact that it wasn't for me means it's missing. I plan on resetting things in the future but at the current…
If you'd said you want to do illustrative (aka. 'hand painted') texturing work right from the beginning I think you would have got a more favorable response. For realistic texturing no one does things that way anymore, BUT for painterly styled textures it is still very useful. There are basically three kinds of methods to…
Seems like this thread turned into a crunch themed thread. Which I guess is unavoidable. To the OP: you're 15. There is a decent chance you'll completely change what you want to do by the time you're 20. But that's what's great about being so young. Go grab Maya from Autodesk, download UDK, and start following a tutorial.…
This device sure looks cool ... but certainly not for sculpting. Or maybe I am missing the point. Naima, which 3D use would you see out of it ? I could personally see it as a nice way to rotate and pan an object for presentation and review, since not everybody knows the Zbrush and Maya control schemes. But I cannot see how…
The only way to do this is a "scripted plugin" in Maxscript, like my shader. It's about as difficult as it gets in terms of maxscript, hence why our code can be a bit flaky and could do with an overhaul (both me and RJ became much more experienced with maxscript after releasing it). Also, we put so much effort into this…
/unlurk I work at an architect firm doing this full time and I came from the gaming industry. We're a group of seven and two have architect degrees, the rest are self taught, me included. V-Ray is more or less industry standard, it's fast and is pretty easy to set up to get pretty pictures. If you hang around archviz…
