Re: Making an air conditioner to be game ready prop
You need to get in the habit of doing a test. Try each workflow. Do a fast, easy version just using a basic cube and simple textures to figure out the pros and cons of each workflow. If it seems like too much work just don't be lazy and do it. Won't take that long and you'll learn to work faster. Then write down in notepad… -

Re: Hopeless/loss
I do with a lot of things expect too much of myself. Really good advice. I don't think I will stop learning and making new work due to looking at so many portfolios. Maybe I should stop, like I originally posted I don't see it as influences anymore but more like constant reminders. I have a feeling you are right about not… -
Re: Beginner Animator seeking your amazing feedback/critique
Hello. I recommend you take a step back from character rigs for the moment and work on a 'bouncing ball' exercise. This is an essential first step to improving animation fundamentals. Start out with this exercise and keep it simple, no more than 100 frames of animation total. Things to think about: -The ball's weight… -
Re: Recommended CONCISE Tutorials for Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter & UE5
You caught me. I was lying to see if you are really determined or not :) Look, there is no stopping you. If you find a tutorial and it is not as concise as you like you'll just become good at skimming and watching at 2x speed. Or you'll drop it and find another. Get back with us in three months and show what sort of… -
Re: Voodoo Senior Project
You need to steer away from the "highschool emo" concept of "red" for blood when it comes to surfaces. Unless you JUST stabbed someone and the blade is currently inside of them, blood will dry and soak into those surfaces. Look at films like Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, Silence of the Lambs, or the new Friday the 13th when it… -
Re: Texture baking features?
Okay, I think I understand better now. For instance, say we have a car with windshields just like any other car, and we decide to bake the car's AO as is without consideration to remove them from the baking process. Naturally, they will contribute to AO baking process and depending on the AO's baking settings (i.e. here)… -
Re: UV and normals transfer in 3dmax attribute transfer?

Hoped somebody already tested it and save me precious C drive space . Gemini says there is a script that allows to copy /paste in between… -
Re: script idea: Loop selection controlled by mouse movement
Pior, that's a nice suggestion ! :) Modo has that built in, also there is such feature in the polyboost toolset.I was thinking also about something like 2 dimensional selection, again based on the mouse movement direction.What I mean is a two step selection, where first you move the mouse up or down to expand the loop in… -
Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
Unless I'm reviewing an animator, I personally prefer images. Images load faster, can't be fast-forwarded, are easier to keep up-to-date than a reel, and there are fewer ways to screw up presenting images on a website than cutting a reel. I understand your point but you're arguing against human nature here, as well as…
