Hello Quixel, nice to see you. Here's my question for you guys. I want to directly use Megascans only as a material library. I will explain why for you. For now, I'm training myself to be more professional in digital painting, I'm searching for a powerful material/texture software for/as my reference. I need a quick,…
Hey shock, I'm just giving you a heads up now, but it's a good rule of thumb to try to avoid: a. creating two threads on relatively the same topic previous thread here. b. posting just questions in the "Pimping and Previews" topic as it is generally for...well, exactly that. Showing off your work and getting feedback.…

The purpose of overlapping UVs is to save valuable space on the sheet. When you have multiple identical elements you place them on top of eachother in the exact same coordinates in UV space. This is called stacking. You want to ensure that the islands are placed exactly on top, rather than eyeballing. When you have a…
There were actually three major versions of 21UX : the first two were grey (using Intuos3 tech) and the last one was black (Intuos4). I would assume that in your case it is the black one.

as someone who basically did what you want to do i may be able to give you some advice/experience. firstly i'd recommend self teaching over classroom, at least to start with. get some books and videos (a mix is good - videos are easier to watch and learn from first time round but you need good books to refer back to and…
Well on some level I feel there may be a catch 22, or a double edge sword to this matter. I agree the do it yourself process will seem less fond of a task to undertake from that of the norm where we like pushing geometry ourselves. BUT the opposite of where I see this isn't a bad thing, and in particular for games in…
@DireWolf. Yep already purchased that, it is a little too intermediate for me :( I use Maya LT and Erik has a ton of custom shelfs and icons that makes it really difficult for me to follow, I will one day complete that though as I get more comfortable in Maya LT :D @Eric Chadwick. I did check the wiki and there is defo…
Aston, I am going to be overly harsh here. Its not looking spectacular. You are learning and listening to crits which is good. Do not perceive anatomy. look at it! A few people have mentioned the skeleton. Listen to them its the most important part. Find the bony points of the skeleton and build muscle off of that. I.e.…
Norway isn't part of the European Union is it? If it were I'm pretty sure you could move about the European countries pretty easily, but alas I'm pretty sure it isn't. So the biggest thing will probably be to find somewhere with high enough demand where you could realistically get employment and some type of work visa or…
