Because any publicity is good publicity. Any way you can raise public awareness of an IP, bomb or blockbuster is good. You're forgetting that every person on this board is an educated consumer when it comes to games, otherwise they wouldn't be here. The rest of the world is far more tolerant to shlock and are the types…
Left is myself in late 2005 about 355 lbs and right is me 2 weeks ago in London about 249lbs. Luckily im 6'4 so that 249 spreads out a little better. Id like to hit 200 or so but man its tough,when you work off the weight in the right way it can take years(at least in my case) so it doesnt come right back if i slip up, but…
I'm aware of the method in scanline renders in applying hair materials to an object and yielding results as found in this video. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqv8vrkWc_4&t=223s Although I'm looking to do so inside of Arnold as I'm doing my best to deep dive into the render engine. I was hoping I could get some…
To all 2d artists looking for practice out there, i'm a somewhat okay 3d modeler and sculpter but I can't draw to save my life. I greatly rely on character modeling reference sheets like this one: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/245/8/6/character_sheet_for_sword_girl_by_mika_chai-d5dac5p.jpg to do my work. So, if…

I have been trying to bake a normal map out of ZBrush but I keep getting the same results of artifacts all over my normal map, I tried every solution suggested online. The workflow follows: Creating the mesh in Maya Exporting to ZBrush to sculpt UV Unwrapping in Maya followed by importing the UV's back into ZBrush to bake.…
OOOOOH, sorry Rich. Hmm, I just bought mine in GAME, I reckon they'll be wise to that :( So after reading about this Ambassador scheme I immediately went out and bought a 3DS :D I initially planned to wait for a second gen 3DS, but to hell with it. I picked mine up for 249 in GAME with Ocarina of Time included in the…
Yeesh, getting back to this took longer than I anticipated. Being sick the week before Easter while having a bunch of stuff to do in preparation for Easter makes for a bad time to practice textures So, for starters, I reworked the Hi-poly models a bit trying to get closer to the reference images. After fixing the Lows to…
thanks for the tip. I will double check on the sorted list part. Yeh i wish mel has tuples. not sure why they dont have it. So from what I understand is you put both the shells and the area together into the tuple and sorted it? If you dont mind i have another question. How do you separate numbers and group them. for…
I highly recommend the classic (and original) self-help book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day. It was written nearly a hundred years ago, but every word is still true, and it explains exactly how to go about making sure there's time in your day to work on your own projects, so that work/school doesn't suck the life out of…
