Re: The Interview!
Hmmmmm, well... I've had about 5 phone interviews with different companies in the past 4 months. And 4 on-site. Phone interviews are pretty easy, after the first one you'll get the hang of it. Just try and relax, think of the questions they might ask you ahead of time and do research on the company so you can ask your own.… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Hi, interesting project! I would recommend to reduce the scope as much as possible and to focus on getting a corner or a room up to the quality you aim for. Once happy with it, you can still expand scope, applying the learnings and assets created. Could even use stock assets as filler props, stand-ins or as a quality… -
Re: Which method could I use to unwrap a bow?
In newer versions of max, there is a "point to point edge select" option and with it you can use it to quickly cut in seams on the model and then use relax to quickly relax the whole thing. It's like a quick version of pelt mapping.* Planar map the whole object like Haftoof suggested. * In edge mode turn on "point to point… -
Re: Maya LT 2016
Yeah Maya's modelling tools have come a long way. I've recently been switching to Maya at home. With the Modelling Toolkit and a customised shelf it's feeling very similar to Max. Which is great. Also retopologising in Maya is much better. I'm missing my Relax and Push Modifiers though. I know Maya has a relax option for… -
Re: Pelt Mapping from an inner seam?
Pelt does a really bad job with object that have holes. Normally you can just cap off the holes and delete the geometry after you've unwrapped it. Most of the time I don't even mess with pelt, way too many steps and the results are roughly the same as, do a quick planar, break a few edges and relax. Or just as fast to… -
Re: Bad day for UVW unwraping (3dsmax) :(
The way I would do things is in UVunwrap edit mode to simply select everything in face mode and apply a planar map. Then with the whole selection apply some relaxing (so they are relaxed but still connected). After that just select edges and then hit CTRL+B to break them there. Relax each UV shell after that an you should… -
Re: UV mapping techniques
What i tend to so is lots of selecting parts of my model, planar map, and relax. Tweeking here and there to get it as best as i can. RELAX its my best friend when unwrapping. I tend to pelt map a lot of round surfaces, or curved surfaces. but other than that like above, planar stitch, relax, tweak. I haven't used any… -
Re: Taking games seriously
edit: I realized that I sounded like a bitter person, so i'm rephrasing to the second reaction in this thread: i was not really talking about the maturity pertaining to the evolution of the game industry towards a form of the industry where the film industry is today, but rather about the maturity of the content, in… -
Re: Shaolin Monk(ish) character
AdamBrome: Looked in a mirror recently? Elbows do not line up with the belly button when the arms are fully relaxed. Unless you have oddly long arms and a really high navel, I think you'll find that the elbow joint is actually located a good few inches above the navel. Loomis often draws the male form with the navel at the… -
Re: Learning tips! How do you empower your brain to make art?
15 - Relax! This can mix in with have fun but this is something I find myself falling victim to. If you are not relaxed when doing art it is going to show in your work. So throw on some of your favorite music or in my case I watch scrubs. Having watched that series more times that I would like to admit I can just have it…
