Seems that most of the people here learned what they know from polycount.… -

Re: Is it harder to sculpt women than sculpting men?
are you heterosexual male though? i am. if i look at a woman, i really study her. especially if she is attractive. men, my eyes couldn't care less. can't make myself care what they look like at all. i bet your sex preference plays a big role. for example a horny hetero woman might find that the things which make a male… -

Re: Animation/Rigging for games - Just how much more used is Maya then Max?
