Maya, Max, or Blender for my specific needs? Sorry for another comparison thread...
The consensus on that seems to be that Max is better for game art and Maya is better for film and animation, then I'm hearing very conflicting replies about blender "sucking" then being "better than both" Quick background: Video Editor / Motion GFX artist with AE have modeled and textured models in Wings3D and Metasequoia… -

Re: Good character modelling tutorials (that isn't Zbrush-based) ?
"Known issues: I know my character isn't great, say, her arms are too thin. Whether I can fix it is down to my ability." No. It lies down to you measuring the diameter of a good reference model, and thickening yours appropriately. You can do that. Forget the myth of the artist feeling/improvising things. Observation lies… -
Re: A game or movie with African mythology...

Re: Max Script help
Render, with big polygons - one draw call on a 2048+ texture runs slower than a 512 texture with 100 draw calls ;) Well, in AS3 at least. On GPU platforms like Unity I have no idea.

Greetings fellow Polycounters! I've had a stupid habit of trying to 'backup' nearly the entire supply of tutorials the internet has to offer, regarding game art, on my hard drive. In this thread I've tried to organize the unmanageable mess that I've made, into a somewhat readable/presentable form. Tried to pretty much post… -
Re: Beachfront Games (Went Indie)
Puzzle meets old school beat 'em up? Sounds like the indie game i was working on not too long ago! Just make sure your core combat and puzzle gameplay bleed together to become the sum of their parts. You don't want a "slow" action game, or a "punishing" puzzle game. As for how us indie guys are doing, I'm still "surviving"… -
