Nómada / Nomad - 12/2022 My profile pic, l would call this my first "get serious" artwork. I've wanted to make some music and also learn how to draw. So I've learned a DAW and studied various Marc Brunet's videos and made the cover. I wasn't so happy of how the "realistic" shading looked, so I colored it in a way I liked…
Hard to say for sure without seeing what settings you're using. I'd recommended turning on Align to Normal and zeroing out whatever values are automatically assigned to the rotations to hopefully get a clean start with a scale flat against each face. After that you can find which axis to rotate and offset them on to get an…
I am designing some custom calligraphy in Illustrator, which needs to be embossed on the cap and glass of a bottle in Max.

I…

I'm having troubles with a gauntlet I'm trying to test in the Dota 2 import tool. The item gets shrunk and stretched (though seems to be bound to the correct bones at least) as you can see below: I'm using 3DS Max 2013, with Valve's provided FBX files. I've done an xform reset of the gauntlet model, reset scale/transform,…
