I'm a viz artist, and I've never opened AutoCad. It helps to know a bit about how their files are constructed... Layers and such. But 3ds Max takes care of most of that when you import their files. I'd say focus on materials & lighting & rendering. Photorealism. And especially, learn how traditional photographers work,…

Fantastic work dude, those shapes and that design are really awesome :smiley: Can't wait to see the finished version :smiley: Of all the entries i've seen so far, yours is the one that I…
At least with Speedtree you are able to open an example tree, and see the raw meshes and textures that went into its creation, doing some backwards engineering. To me thats way easier to learn what components are necessary, if not easier than starting from an empty scene and stumbling through older methods. Speedtree…

Jackablade: You can open the console with CTRL + ALT + ` (regular console button, next to 1 and below ESC unless you have a wacky keyboard). Then type "com_showfps 1" - this will show your average FPS in the top right. One of our programmers (a very tall Australian!) wrote this information about the "unlock fps" tweaks:…
For the texture going only on top side, not top and bottom the fix is - Brush-> Auto Masking -> and then activate Backface Mask. It seems like the texture kinda has opacity....but is kinda a good solution for now! For the strange opacity, open the Curve below the Backface Mask and turn the left side all the way up! That…
See, that's where you're wrong... and here we are proving my point :P j/k. Don't take my statement above as siding one way or the other on the topic at hand either. Expressing a strong view on anything puts a wall around ourselves when it comes to being open minded and meeting new people. I speak for myself here. Eat,…
