Re: Tablet recommendation
If you're on a budget, Monoprice tablets are good a good alternative over Wacom ones: frenden.com/the-little-monoprice-graphics-tablet-that-could/ http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10841 You can get one for less then $30, and it works on both PC and Mac (with the right drivers). It uses… -
Re: Learning alone, need some advice
tutorials are cool but spend more time experimenting and learning - fail fast, fail often, learn from those failures. I recently saw a clip from a max tutorial that regularly used the model breaking mirror button (it screws up your normals) instead of the mirror or symmetry modifier. So tutorial dvds are not always… -
Re: Getting started. Tips?
i couldn't recommend a better start than unity for one man game projects, be it 2d, 3d, the engine is very flexible. There's a great community for scripting tutorials/help. Prior to the start of this past summer i had little to no programming knowledge, and by practicing a few times a day in unity, i'm only weeks away from… -
Re: Soul Calibur IV Teaser
If it's skimpy, then I get to look at skimpy clothes. If it's practical, then it fits the theme better. Win win situation! It's not like her outfit wasn't ridiculous before. Though I will admit DOA was over the top to the point of being creepy. Why are your tits still bouncing? You stopped moving 30 seconds ago! Did you… -
Re: Newbie question a about modelling technique
Things that need to be animated should be separate meshes. Its good practice to try to combine your mesh as much as possible though. It will work better for your bake as you'll have no sharp edges that you'll get with Intersecting geometry. All The best models I've seen try to use floating geometry only for things that… -
Re: Favorite 80's material!!!
1986 Corvette Funny to grow up seeing those cruise around the area, and now have my very own! (Everyone's collecting toys from that era... there's mine! ) Still remember The A-Team, going to Disneyland (was the best in the 80s!), Saturday Morning Cartoons (the big stations practically were warring for who could grab our… -
Re: Half my normal map is broken
It's not the software, it's definitely the user and how much practice you've had. You're going to be able to get decent results from any of these programs if you dedicate some time to learning about them. Not sure about your normal map. It's pretty impossible to diagnose without seeing your high/low poly. Did you check all… -
Re: Snowstorm's Dota 2 Workshop
Have uploaded a couple of alternative blades for the Spec set. Items are here: Also, I've been doing a bit of concepting/painting practice. Playing around with different workflows, trying out stuff I've seen other people doing, trying to get better lighting into my textures. Probably will turn this concept into a DK… -
Re: How to hard surface model from reference/ concept that is not orthographic?
Freestyling it like this is fantastic practice. It forces you to really study the forms and their relationship and scale. Google some dimensions of the real-world object (even a single measurement) to give you a base scale reference to start from. I rarely use ortho refs anymore, I just drag a few images from various… -
Re: Outlaw character WIP
Got little update here. Roughly done all the parts, folds on the shirt mostly final, but probably will remake left side. I probably wont bother with detail and accessories on lower half since I want to focus more on the face and torso. Nice practice to sculpt folds for already posed model since I used for A poses and…
