Re: [Ultra basic drawing tutorial] Overlapping forms!
my girlfriend is a elementry school art teacher, and one of the things she says the younger students, probably up to fourth grade has is understanding overlaping forms, one of the assignments she has them do is a picture of you and your best friend standing next to each other with one person in front so the bodys partialy… -
Re: Baking Issue (Again)
After going through this I may start using nDO instead like you've suggested. I wanted to go through one piece detailing everything in 3DS Max and just see what it was like in all honesty. I often see fantastic high-polys on here that contain all the detail, down to screws. With my next project I'm going to try what you've… -
Re: Was it something I said?
Unfortunately for people like feanix and a lot of us students I see around polycount, the need for crits is for 2 reasons. Though I seek crits and comments on my work to improve and become a better artist, it's also a part of the course to gather them. The system in place is that you need to get professional criticisms for… -
Re: Question about likeness sculpting, can anyone explain this phenomenon??

Re: Workflow Zbrush - Substance Painter + Posing Texturized Character
yeah you can do all of that. maya has great rigging and animation tools. For human characters it has built in tools that can automate a lot of the rigging for you, which is great for beginners or non-riggers just wanting to pose or get started with animation without going down the rigging rabbit hole too deep. In my… -
Re: Quick Texture sheet question
Absolutely rife stuff? Not sure what you mean there. I edited my post and added a paragraph about a situation with multiple tiling textures where I don't know how you would approach that. If mostly unique or not needing tiling though, no need for multiple textures/material? I have no idea about PC on a large project,… -
Re: 4 gigs of ram
actually I wasn't a fan boy when bungie switched halo from mac to xbox. Then, to me, mac was obscure. I'm still no fanboy - only the haters call us mac users that I'm sure out of that 6% at least 4% are used to make 95% of the music you listen to, the movies you watch and the magazines you read. PC's are games company… -
Re: Best UV relaxing tools?
claydough: yes but not really in depth or much. I have been told however by other students I know that it is supposed to be real good in comparison with max or maya. Crazy Butchers LSCM Unwrap is based on the Blender LSCM unwrapping code which is also why he put it free under the opensource license. There is another… -
Re: zbrush to mudbox covert?
Definitely agree. I started using Mud more when AD released it for free to students and it's definitely my preference now. As soon as you switch the default turd-brown material everything starts to look better, and less 'squishy'. I think the matcaps in ZBrush sometimes make work look better than it really is. I also love… -
Re: Freelance vs. Contract work - Pros and Cons
It all comes down to the pros and cons as they relate to your own personal situation. I have skills and experience but I chose family over a full time position. Freelancing, you check who's looking for artists all the time and I see staff openings in my town as soon as they're online. I could easily apply and I'm confident…
