I don't think too many places really use Modo either. The basic workflow, the methodology, is pretty much the same in all of the modeling apps but with different interfaces. The export options are pretty standard, so you can use your work from one app wherever. If the place you're working for is cool with it, and you…
Nice update, I like your reflective sheen you've given the floor. I can see this going in a more mid-tech but could still be a gritty high tech area. I think my only suggestion would be to try to do something of interest to your walls and ceilings, they are pretty stark flat right now and I know Epic doesn't want to go…
Yes Maya has backface culling. In the viewport menu -> Shading>Backface Culling Alternatively you can go into Lighting and turn off two sided lighting, this will show a black polygon face instead of a transparent polygon(possibly easier to spot). You can also verify face normal directions through Display>Polygons>Face…
Hey Two. I think at the end of the day as a designer the sorts of decisions you make fall back on your own adventure. Your concept idea has been pretty much the same so I don't think that's drifted too far away (the only thing I can't tell right now is that it's powered by lightning) but your shape language has gone…
Okay, we have established the goals, now lets go throug some of the progress so far. This project had been inspired by the ARTWar4 theme of element warriors that have to either attack or defend using one of the four elemens: fire, lightning, earth of water. I knew I wont be able to meet the deadline, but the theme really…
AFTER THE REBELLIONS END< the DRAGONS WERE BORED. then it was during this dark time, that the DRAGON LADY APPEAR. oh they were stunning, with their Glowing BReast. THE HERO DRAGONS couldn't defeat their breasts. the dragons were powerless, the Water would only make thoses breast more MORE APPEALING. So now we have boobs in…
Thanks everybody, Im glad to see Im not off my nut. I should have been clearer on a few things which wouldnt have painted it in such a negative light. I do want to be very clear, this is a great job, and I like working here VERY much. It provides for my family well and I have MUCH creative and technical freedom which I…
I agree gents the big guns got to be lurking about and the high quality of a few of the designers would ultimately kill all the upstarting/new comers and even some oldies spirit though then again It could have the opposite effect and make them try harder, even though deep within they know they aren't going to have a chance…
List of useful things no one told me: -Maya: To fix the "Object 'function' not found" error where basic tools, tool manipulators, and tool settings wont display, (and handful of Maya's other glitch twitches) save the scene, restart Maya and import it into a new scene. Stupid Simple, but I generally just soldier through the…
Thanks for the feedback last week Odow. I spent a few days trying to improve the carpet, I'm still not sure about it but I think a detail normal will help. Unfortunately there was no way I could find to add one to the substance and have it show in Toolbag, maybe UE4 will make it possible. I also ran into an issue with my…
