I used XSI before and it seems like Autodesk is transferring (stealing) some functionality from Softimage and putting it into Maya; basically the entire new "modeling toolkit" is part of what XSI had for years. I am supercomfortable with Maya, because it behaves almost like XSI and modeling is very fast. Whenever I watch a…
@tholmes3d Hey thanks for taking the time to write out all of that feedback! The antic before the first strike was meant to be more of a feint to make the attack hard to read. But it seems its too effective lol. I'll try to rework it to be more readable and your suggestion gives me an idea on how to go about it! I'll…
ok sooooo....too much then :D ScudzAlmighty: thanks man, I wasn't thinking gears at the time but I get where you are coming from....the gribbly might just get his own sculpt at some point but I guess that he will go into the box of unloved meshes for the time being :D Dan!: Thanks mister...I have reeled him back in for…
I completely disagree with this article: This guy is using of really low end user to grant Max some of it's useless (nowadays) features, like for an example bi-ped. "Complete Package for Game Development" - On my opinion, people don't know Maya enough to say at least what it can be done for game development, I will list…
Actually, I lurked around here a day or so earlier, and I found this page while googling for pretty much anything connected to JoCo and the phrase "the cake is a lie" (this thread is currently on the second page of Google results for the phrase. I'd feel pretty silly for joining a community without anything to show, so I…
I'll just throw down some quick feedback first of all: - I'm not sure, but I think it's a bit too slow for just a generic walk. A generic walk will take place over between 24-30ish frames on average. Maybe more, maybe less. Yours seems to be about 40 for two steps. I could be wrong as frames has never been my specialty,…
Well after further assessment, I actually decided to not spend 4 years at a University and go to some 3d college like Gnomon.. But I don't think I can go to Gnomon because it's a bit too far away, parents can't drive me through traffic every day. I don't know of any schools near me with a 3d program besides Devry no idea…
I've lived here in the Seattle area since I was 4 and I gotta ask....why would you want to have your honeymoon here!?!? Goto someplace tropical, stay in a resort near the beach and just chill with drinks on the beach in between fun times in your room & enjoying resort amenities! But that's just me. 1) The time to go? If…
Well maybe I should work at a bit smaller size doing the handpainted texture. I'll try that next time. ^_^ About the rocktexture I made the normal with maya transfer/bake + a overlay with a crazybump normal generated from the diffuse. Dunno why I did both but thats what was done. The bridge I know I could or should slim…
Think simple. Identify the major shapes that make up your concept. Don't obscure things that you don't think you can paint. I did a quick and dirty paintover to illustrate how simplifying a few shapes can help the concept read better. (some of your shapes were a little hard to decipher, so bear with me if there's some…
