I'm noticing there is a lot of fixation about what EA does, their process and getting hired there again... however there is always a possibility, due to things outside of your control, like timing or them deciding to go with outsourcing in favor of contractors, that means it just might not work out. Games has been hit hard…
Honestly no. Zremesher is getting really close to being good enough for animation, but there's still going to be some spots where you have to manually work out the topology. If you're doing something for hard surface you *might* be able to get away with having decimated geo, but if that object is going to be moving and…
It’s one of those concepts you can stare at for ages. Every time, a new story starts to form in your head. I knew I had to turn it into a 3D environment eventually.
I worked on this over the course of about 6 months, squeezing in sessions of 30 minutes to 3 hours in my free time. It was the perfect excuse to explore some…
Hi! What does the mesh shading look like without textures applied? Did you transfer vertex normals for the haircards in order to get consistent mesh shading between body and cards (https://simonschreibt.de/gat/airborn-trees/ - in Blender the Data Transfer modifier can be used)? I'd ensure cards conform nicely to the body…
ysalex: Wow Dude i am happy that you like it (love your stuff btw) and thanks for that epic feedback xD I am going to look at everything you said, which in part was already mentioned by crazyfool . But yeah man to be honest i am kinda getting to that point where i just want to get it done so it gets harder and harder to…
My advice would be to immediately put all your effort into getting any job you can. I always consider restaurants ideal due to the very nice pay at a popular place in tips. Since you don't have a lot of money to live on, you've really gotta get moving on that what with how few places are hiring. I've had friends trying for…
Nah no need to hack up your geo just to get a path spline. Use Neil Blevins spline painter script. It lets you paint splines on other objects. It even has settings to mange the knots. Sweep is great for somethings like drain pipes, trim boarders, I-Beams, but sweep will only push a shape over the whole spline so at best…
Still other questions need to be answered first. 1. What time period was this made? Medieval times? WW2, Modern Day, Future? 2. What is it made out of? Wood, Concrete, Metal... 3. Do you go inside? 4. How close do you get to it? 5. How damaged is the structure? 6. Is it abandoned or upkept All important questions to be…
1. It is a common mistake to think that you need to work with the exact same model when uvwing, baking normals/AO/whatever (in the same scene even, if you are working with max) You create clones. I've seen were people actually create animations so once they'v exploded the model, the can rewind and get it back to its former…
How important are size and weight? IMO a good laptop should be as portable as possible, otherwise what is the point? The Alienware 17 mentioned above is over 9 pounds, you can build a desktop workstation that doesn't weigh much more than that. I'm a big fan of ultrabooks in the 13-14" or so range, which are usually 3.5…
