Building the Ornatrix operator stack in Maya and keeping a fully-built groom fast in the viewport
On Ornatrix grooms I kept hitting two things: I rebuild the same operator stack on every character, and a fully-built stack tanks the viewport while I'm still iterating. How I've been handling it: * Build the stack in a fixed order (Surface Comb → Rotate → Clump → Curl → Frizz → Detail → Noise → Gravity → Change Width) so… -
How to create text that will show up in a normal map [Maya]
I understand how to use Maya's text tool, but when I create the text I find it difficult to create the taper needed for it to bake into a normal map. Does anybody know of an easy way to create text that will work well for baking without having to hand tweak every letter? -

The weapons from Metro Exodus inspired me to create my best piece to date
A fun and challenging project, the AKM was modeled (to a certain point) following the "Ultimate Weapon Tutorial" by Tim Bergholz.

Re: Create cubemap from photo?
Thanks for the replies guys- I was indeed, in this instance, looking to make a reflection cubemap but was thinking more generally how to create a cubemap from a 2d image - maybe for a skybox or whatever. Pior - do you know what program your matte painting guy used to switch between cube and cyclo mapping as that sounds… -
