Re: What about Animation Studios?
You'll get a lot more talk about animation studios on CGTalk or the like. Polycount is about games by design. That being said, there are a lot more jobs for modelers in games than in film. Pixar, for example, has something like 25 modelers out of 1200 employees. Generally speaking, film/advertising jobs pay better but… -
question about high res to low res for mobile games
Hello, I'm new to the forums here but have recently got back into 3d modeling and had a couple questions about the best way to take a high res model in zbrush and create a low poly model suitable for a mobile game using the unity engine. Is the best workflow to take your high res mesh and retopologize it to create a "game… -
A few questions about gloss maps, blend layer and the detail map
Where do I load the gloss map? Do I put it in the alpha channel of the normal map and save the cry tiff as NormalWithGlossInAlpha_highQ? Is there any difference if I put it in the alpha channel of the spec? What about the gloss map for the blendlayer? There's no second gloss slot for that either, so just put it in the… -

I particularly loved the small details like portal animation, dice with punching gloves and 'pain' written on Kuato. It also shows nice UV layout and… -
Re: Thoughts about polycount handpainted challenge ?
Hum, maybe not a contest because the word "contest" make people go crazy about rule and law and in the end it became a mess, just an Handpaint Monthly Art Jam. That way, it allows people to do whatever they want and learn about technique. I'm all about the "meh baking AO on zbrush is cheating blabla" but that's the fast… -

Really Dumb Question about Specular Maps in Maya...
Ok, I've got a confession to make. In my 4 years using Maya, I still don't know how to plug a spec map in! I always just used a Blinn shader, but I wanna go legit with this. I have a spec map generated from my amboc bake and some hand-painting. But I just don't know where to plug it in! Can one of y'all help me with that?… -

Hey guys, I'm modelling some weapons for a MOD in it's early, early stages and have decided it's time to sort out a problem I've had with hard surface modelling for a long time... Basically, as the pictures show, simply chamfering the edges creates this dodgy pinching effect in the corners where it meets the round barrel.…
