Don't get me wrong,Houdini is one of the hardest programs that an artist can learn,but from an artist perspective most of the stuff you might want to create is not complicated to make. Talking about stuff like debris following a curve with many parameters to fill them in a scene,procedural models like rocks and…
Nothing really blows me away, I have some crits that should help you. -- The first house interior scene: trees outside are hideous, for achitectural renders like this use a photo of an exterior and do the post work in photoshop, it will look alot more professional that way. The bigger kitchen scene: near the window there…
ah thanks. Didn't convice me either way though ;) I like the modifier stack alot, but I don't use keyboard shortcuts at all. (well, one or two keys). ==I'm typing my life story in case someone familiar with Max and Modo wants to better understand my beef with Blender, and why I don't want Modo if it is similar, and to…
Hi Dillon and welcome. Concerning the software you use, and please anyone correct me if you feel I'm wrong here, but I think it mostly comes down to what you know/what the studio you work for uses. I've not used much Cinema 4D but most of the people I know who use it work in advertising and digital media rather than games…
Hello Thanks to crazyButcher we now have a working shader in max! I've included it in the main archive, with a little correction, specular now take per-vertex Ambient Occlusion into account and here's another mini-tutorial (also included in the archive). Hey per thanks a lot well I learned cg because I was frustrated with…

Gj on…
I've added some solid diffuse color to see how she looks so far. They're a little off compared to the in-game lighting/shading, but it's a basic idea. I remodeled her sunglasses, but her scarf still requires attention. I was also thinking of making the stripes on her legs wider, just wanted to throw some detail on to see…
I think it's pretty cool, it's a step above what most game riggers can do, it shows a wide range of skill that would probably open quite a few doors. The market is getting pretty crowded and there aren't that many rigging only positions available. A lot of the rigging jobs are animation and rigging, or technical art and…
100% have to agree with Will on this also. You guys are all a bunch of haters. Just saw this with a buddy of mine and was totally entertained and was defiantly worth my money too see it. Dont regret it at all. I was thoroughly satisfied with all the visuals of this movie on so, so many levels ;) Story, a little insane, and…
@sacboi ; Thank you for your contribution, but forums are not what I had in mind. And you scared me, there, with the tuts series, because several are paid and not exactly cheap (for a tut)! x) I'll give those a look, thank you.
