Following a school assignment in making low-spec models, I thought it'd be fun to keep going and practice making low-poly characters... Since I'm an old Mortal Kombat fan (not to mention super hyped for the upcoming game), I decided I'd recreate some MK characters, starting with the cast of MK1. :) I've finished all…
Hello guys. I seem to have a lot of problems with texturing at home which I don't know how to fix. I have been trying to find the solution for past couple of days and then I was told to register on this forum. I work on the student version of 3ds Max 2013 but when I texture at college everything is fine so I don't know…

The PME…

Or you could have vertex ticks turned off in the preferences. Without sitting at your workstation it'll be hard to debug. But you can hotkey Select Verts Assigned to Bone in…
Also for whoever posted in the last thread about "creatives" making us immune to overtime. Remember that EA* LOST that lawsuit. A "creative" as defined by law, is someone who sets their own hours to accomplish an asset. You say "make me a painting/website/character" and provide no real guide, so I can make one that takes…
When you edit a material on an object and its linked to a Asset file it will change the asset file and have an effect on every other object using that material. If you want to create a unique instance in edit mode you can just copy the material asset and assign it to the renderer, or you can create an editor script that…
I believe there's 4 ways in Maya to get a perfect image ratio of your reference. At work so i can't double check myself, but hope it helps. 1. (most tedious) In Photoshop, open your reference. Go to Image Size and write down the height and width of the concept's image in cm. Create a plane in Maya and punch in the…
