Seems everyone except possibly Shep is rooting for my 'wait and see what happens, when ive got a folio im happy with' half. ill print all this out and hand it to him next week as my reply when no doubt he asks again. :) Seriously though, I think…
Shouldn't this be in P&P since its kind of a WIP thread? Anywho awesome idea combining Enviro art with Character art. It fits into the less clicks portfolio approach. You said you wanted the focal point to be the characters so I think the "stage" should be well done, but nothing too flashy. I would go for a dirty…
New one on a vaguely similar slant to the falloff script, here's a script which uses the same up/down controller to shrink/grow a selection. Just press the hotkey you assign to the script, then move the mouse up or down to shrink or grow the selection. <font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre> macroscript selectionSlider…
Ok, I apologize if I sounded obnoxious or insensitive before, but I was just trying to make a realistic assessment of his situation. Times is very rough, and the dude needs to be open minded about his options. Here's some more sites to look at: http://www.indeed.com/ - I think somebody posted this already…
So I created this in about 15 minutes. A simple crate, cause been having issues with baking multiple objects onto a single object with the same geometry. I created a single side as I didn't feel like doing the same thing sixe times with worry about bleed on edges to the other sides of the crate, happens even when you use…
I used some DGBL back in grade school. In grade 4 or 5 the class had occasional (either once a week or once a month, IIRC) access to the computer lab and we played math and reading games to practice what we learned in regular class. Those games were essentially quizzes with game-styled performance feedback, like moving a…
My dad died of a heart attack at 49. Didn't even make it to 50, he worked some tough jobs early on keeping our family supported and worked his way up higher than an average guy probably gets a chance to go. He also was looking forward to retiring when he could finally get back to doing some of the things he loved, more…
There's a few awesome books you should pick up. First and Foremost - Atlas of Human Anatomy: http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Human-Anatomy-Artist-Galaxy/dp/0195030958/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292011229&sr=8-3 In my opinion, the best anatomy book for artists. I suggest using that to get a good handle on anatomy as a subject,…
I like to use the Working Pivot functionality frequently, especially when working in Vertex sub-object mode. Because of this, I wrote a macro script that will set the Working Pivot to the center of the current vertex selection, and assigned a hotkey to it. I select whatever vertex I want to use as the pivot point and press…
Ok ive got single axis constraints kinda working but I need some help from people who actually know what the hell they are doing The constraints seem to work if your selection is close to the world origin. When the selection is further away it gets hard to determine what axis the mouse is closest to (its the way im…
