Canyon Ambush was the first level that I personally worked on for Overgrowth, and was one of the three levels where I was responsible for both art passes. I was initially handed a whitebox, and in the first image below you can still see that I have not finished replacing all of this placeholder box geo. My workflow on…
Hi, I'm very sorry for the delayed response on our forums. I posted there as well. Substance Painter will read the soften/harden data set in Maya when you export as FBX. This data is used to shade the mesh in the Painter viewport similar to maya based on vertex normal smoothing. In maya you are smoothing/hardening the…
Have you tried calling them? I'm not sure if that's bad etiquette or not but when I applied to a bunch of studios last year and a few weeks had passed then I just picked up the phone. I know some people aren't comfortable with that but I find if you can present yourself well on the phone then the person on the other end is…
Cloth sims are normally good at hanging and dangling but not so good at wrinkling and bunching, they tend to get very buggy when they do bunch up. Not to mention you need pretty dense geometry to create wrinkles. There is a lot going on when a sim is running. collision detection, shape correction, friction, self…

You can go farther south into Renton but traffic is a bit of a…
I am for teaching something other than just evolution in schools. I grew up in public schools 85% of my education, and it was quite interesting to discuss things regarding the origins of man. Whether it would be creation or just intelligent design, it has its proper place in schools. As for abortion, I know it's murder,…

It's virtually impossible to regulate every action a human can do so I just prefer ways of thinking that give the people more freedom and liberty to do what they want and opt for less market interference. With everything governments try to regulate an unintended consequence almost…
You can turn your computer into a good gaming rig for ~700$. Buy only what's really needed, avoid things that bring only marginal improvements and a hefty price increase (e.g. bigger CPUs), do a bit of research to see what really makes a difference. The graphics card is the most important factor for a PC's gaming…
Tim, thats fuckin awesome!I love the work you've put into the textures. the facial structure is flawless. Does the hair have any kind of bump on it yet? I'm not sure if you have done the eyes yet, or if you are going to keep the zombie white eye look? I painted over a set of eyes just to see what he would look like and its…
