Re: Maya 2014 finally gets a huge update to its modeling tools!
Don't get me wrong I really enjoy using Maya as an overall application sometimes but the modeling tools are pretty far behind even still. And I think it suffers a bit from the well known 3DS Max issue where there's so much old legacy stuff that it's hard to figure out which tools are the most stable or efficient when you… -

Re: How to model this pattern in Maya/Zbrush
Yeah, I probably went a bit too far with the wear effect . Just had some fun with it =) Anyway here how I did it: 1. Create a plane with the same proportions as your image. You can do it in maya as well. I did it inside zbrush by just scaling a plane with gizmo. 2. Open the plane in zbrush and subdivide it to about 6 or 7… -
Re: RX580 or 1060 6GB?
Arnold is a cpu based renderer, while Marmoset uses the gpu, just like Substance Painter. My advice would be to wait and save up a little bit more and get a used 1070 with 8 gb of memory at least. That 1060 is like a low end card for gamers, and really far from the best choice for artists. From what I see these days, even… -
Re: Sometimes, life gets in the way - but...
I went through art school without investigating what I really wanted to do with my life, even though Big Huge Games was right next door and they even came to our school once. Even now I still don't know 100% certain what I'm going to do with my life. After depression and college I never am 100% sure about anything anymore.… -
Re: Community color calibration project
Color calibrating will likely improve your color, especially if you have a heavy blue shift or if you're seeing big differences between your two monitors. However, I would suggest getting a better monitor(s) instead. The panel in your LG is a TN, which means poor color reproduction and poor viewing angles(color may differ… -
Re: Killzone 2 is finally out, whats do you think!?
well i just beat the game. the final part kinda had me grinding my teeth a bit as it seemed like a cheap attempt to increase playtime. my final time to complete clocked in at 6 hours 28 mins which is pretty short. I would have preferred perhaps an 8 hour playtime but almost all of those 6 hours were pretty damn intense. I… -

Re: My experiences with DDS NM Compression
I don't know about Maya's 3Dc support... I haven't had the chance to use the format in production, I've just been interested in checking it out. It could be either that your card doesn't support it (unlikely these days) or that Maya's hardware shader doesn't (more likely). DXT5_nm written in your notation would be xRxBG I… -
