Re: Critiques and Suggestions on my 3D Modeling
You're definitely on the right track. All of these renders look to me like you were aiming for a certain result and had achieved it, which is what matters for a beginner. first picture: Models look nice and it looks like you put effort into the scene, but it really lacks proper textures. my biggest problem with the second… -
Re: Beginner artist your opinion
First, think about what role you want to have. You say you want to start developing an art and animation folio but is that actually what you need? Don't fall into the trap of thinking you need to know everything to succeed. You don't. Instead, niche down and choose which discipline you want to tackle to get your first… -
Re: Lighting & Other
Hello. Thank you for sharing, that is a lot of information. The link to the "photometric viewer" seems dead (expired domain). You mentioned at the end that decisions on light type and location aren't relevant, but let me tell you, I'd love to know more about how lights are chosen, placed etc. so that you not only light the… -
Re: G Fur plug-in on UE4
Hello there!! I thought i was rid of every problems, but after playing kinda a lot here are my constatations / news problems : -Definitely, Maya isn't a viable choice for now. Even if you succeed to create the curves they won't be recognized by the plug-in, so better go on 3dsMax and create it using the Hair and Fur.… -
Re: PBR Starkiller Lightsaber
Calling this one done! A week ago, when I got tickets to the Star Wars premiere, I decided it was time to bring this one to an end. During the week I worked a few hours on it everyday and now that I finished the StarKiller, I'm posting it in here to let it go. :) To be honest, there were a few times I felt like a was… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
I can't work without swiftloop. If you're going to use 2009 make sure you get polyboost. The retopology tools in polyboost are great too, its a must have. I also can't live without UV flattening scripts (wrote these myself, but there are more floating around, James Hayward, SoulBurn), rescale UV shells (MoP's Normalize… -
Re: What do you use for Uv Unwrapping?
Headus UVLayout was the reason why I became so much interested into UV mapping and why I started TexTools. I used it for everything in the past and I agree, hands down to UVlayout it is the BEST UV tool out there- its just so damn pricey. Since I don't have a license or copy around these days anymore (used it as well back… -

Re: Hardware tessellation and topology
I think part of the reason this is confusing is because everyone is treating "tessellation" as a single set feature, when really it is just a shader function and can be used in different ways. Developers are creating different tessellation algorithms that work in different ways and are better or worse for different… -
Re: max 2011 64bit freezes on export.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I just came across this using 3dsmax 2011 64bit, though it's just stuck on: Preparing polymesh for normal export... at like 85% = / Going to leave this over night in hopes It will rectify itself. If not I'd like some detailed info on how to go about closing off that part of the program…
