Ok, so after this little post and the subsequent response by Teodar23 I decided to re plan my whole scene. And here is the thing i managed to make on the last week. After struggling to find something unique doing some sketching on the old scene,started to lean on to something with nature stuff on it. Here is a crappy… -
Re: 3ds max 2015 selection issue
Yep everyone just deals with it, there has been a few pushes by a lot of communities but to problem seems deep rooted and is difficult to change. Here are some tips that should help you deal with it.

Re: Portfolio review - - feedback
Very bad, here's some bullet point thoughts from me in the order I had them: 1. The first thing I see is a full-wide banner of some work - some decent but uninspiring shipping containers - clicking them reloads the page.

Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
I'm not sure where you're getting that from this thread; A.

Re: LA or Montreal?

However: Ethnic diversity in food is not even remotely comparable Montreal = Korean Restaurant LA = Korean BBQ Restaurant, Chains of 24… -
Re: Lack of Environment Artists
Ben you also have to take into account polycounts roots and what drove most of us here. I was knee deep into making maps for StarCraft, Doom2, Quake and Half Life until I got the itch for characters. The itch came when I learned I could make more game art than just levels. I mostly got into characters because of polycount.… -
Re: E3 Highs / Lows and Views!
[ QUOTE ] Its nice to see companies art direction use normal maps better, barley any plastic figures running around! For anyone who attended I'm curious to hear your views! [/ QUOTE ] As an aside, normal maps really aren't the perpetrator of plastic looking characters, its poor implementation of specular shaders that are… -
