Apologies for the somewhat personal question but are you using a legit version of ZBrush? I know there's a few pirated versions around that behave weird in some cases. I've heard all sorts of stories from not being able to switch the default tool, to having to import a random OBJ on opening just to be able to use the…
I think people who arnt proud of the work they do are dumb. This guy has every right to be stoked about getting to work on two major titles. I dont care if what you worked on was some shity iphone game or the biggest tripple A title. You should always be proud of the work you are doing, and if your not, then your doing…
1. Build your own desktop. 2. Mid range GPUs are fine, newer is better because they are more likely to be supported by newer APIs like DX12. The GPU basically handles real-time visuals (like a game engine or view port). GPUs can also do some parallel processing for things like baking AO and Normal Maps, but GPU compute is…
AimBiZ: thanks! here is the sci-fi Sterna: thanks! scapulator: depends on the mood really but usually I make a group, set it to color mode, and then paint on regular layers inside.. this way I can overlap colors, but only the one on top will be "projected" found out about wildstar here on PC, and I kinda fell in love with…
I guess I don't understand the wisdom behind offering an extended refund window at all. A refund policy is a good thing but just make it apply moving forward and don't burden developers with backdated lost revenue. Example- A small developer sells 500 units a month at $10. The refund policy is put into effect and there is…
I feel like I'm spoiled rotten with so many good tutorials free or cheap. Allegorithmic has awesome free tutorials for Substance, made it so easy to learn. This morning before work I started learning about VEX and VOPs in Houdini from a free tutorial I found on Youtube. On and on, so much quality free stuff. All of the…
I was hired for this "Studio" as freelance 3d character artist. In my opinion they don't know how things are made and sets impossible deadline. They asked for 3/4 character a week in "The last of us" quality, working full time for 500 USD monthly. Obviously I wasn't able to meet the deadline and I was never paied. Unless…
Well i tried Face Extrusion for the last WEEK every day 4 hours and didn't get anywhere usefull because it's hard to see where your next edge is going to because you can't follow the right curve my woman face ended up 50kg heavier than aimed at...because it was hard in the end to push all the points onto a proper shape (i…
You spend $300 on the intial release of the console. Another $200 2 years later because the equipment wears out. $500. Then there is the $10 addition tacked on because of licensing fees. With many times the inability to play games from older systems. Are PCs more expensive? Yes. Is there more of a learning curve? Yes. On…
The field-of-view is very different between the two pictures. UDK defaults to 90 degrees, which is roughly equivalent to a very wide angle 10mm lens. More typical values would be between 48 degrees for a 28mm lens and 28 degrees for a 50mm lens. This site, http://www.abelcine.com/fov/, lets you see the different camera…
