Thank you so much for your reply. I totally agree and I am sorry I forgot to mentioned that I am being hired as an ASSISTANT professor by the main professor himself who taught me and so basically I am hired to assist him and as well as I will be learning more stuff staying around him and other professors. I also agree…
There is a number of video tutorials that will cover this and, for me, seeing is usually the easiest way to understand on the first go around. Also, check out this websites wiki for detailed explanations and plenty of links to tutorials and further reading. Baking is something that was really troublesome for me as a…
Hi Guys! Im working on a prop for school. Its a massivly stone table with some small ornaments. All done in zBrush and baked down with xNormal. My Problem is that i dont get the nice Marmoset Toolbag 2 Look in Unreal Engine 4. I already tweaked the scene a bit, but i think there is a lot to tweak. I like the style in…
I am trying to animate a pony. I have a bunch of weight groups for fur. I am trying to bind the rigify rig to the mesh just to make sure that everything is working before I move on into more advanced rigging setups for inverse kinematics and xmuscle systems. However, I cannot get the rig to bind with with the mesh, nor can…
Sup, I was wondering what got people into 3d animation and how they started in their adventure. To be honest, I wanted to be a chef in high school but changed my mind when I got a huge love for art and video games.

What should i aim for with my first scene ? Will taking on an outdoor environnement be too challenging at first ? For example i was aiming to do…
My first response to this question was "have a pulse" but I realize that doesn't help much. I'm not sure what you are going to gain by working a QA job if you are going to school for art. In fact I think it's a bad idea. If you want specific reasons, send me a pm. You would be much better off getting an internship for art.…
Your work is really nice and is on an entry level. But you have the same problem as I, you are in Germany. (I also applied for different internships/positions over the last years and get rejected over and over again) Germany is a very "old school" country when it comes to getting a job, certificates are a lot worth here.…
Hey everyone I am going to upgrade and get a new computer soon and I was wondering which ones you guys thought were a good deal and the best to support programs such as zbrush and maya. I can afford a desktop thats around $800-$1100. I was looking at the alienwar computers but i feel like you are paying for the design and…
Hello. I'm trying to do exactly what the title of the thread states. I have a plane with black and white vertex colors - think of a height map. The plane contains 4,225 vertices and 8,192 triangles in it. Basically, it has 64 x 64 segments on length and width. Depending on the color, that's what gets saved to that specific…
