Re: Help? Looking to grow/improve as an artist.
I've totally been there, man. I was off to a pretty bad start out of college as well...also went through the ringer at a for-profit school. Piggybacking off of what others have just said...your portfolio is very rough. Your work shows a lack of focus and the current work you have there isn't really at a level that would… -
Re: Modeling curvy roads while maintaining proportion?
I used this plugin for making a racing track, you create one short block in the X-axis then, assign it as a object, draw a curve and click "deform object along path" which will duplicate and snap the segments using a FFD deformer. http://www.creativecrash.com/script/duplicate-along-path I have bookmarked somewhere several… -
Re: getting straight unwrap from pips/cylinders
It works with non-organic hard surface models that have minor to moderate distortion also. That's probably going to happen with it clamped in one direction also... But I agree, I'm not sure either approach would work best, probably the "wrong" example from the OP is best, but that depends on a few things that aren't said… -
Re: Attn: max users who now use maya
I went through this change early this year, and it was frustrating to say the least. Both programs have features that the other "should" have. Which leads me to the conclusion that all 3d packages suck out of the box. Well... except Zbrush:) I personally like to use whatever tool best suits the job, and often find myself… -
Re: Learning to Model (zbrush)
I have Hogarths Dynamic Anatomy and am reading through and trying to make some of this work better but it feels like its taking steps backwards now so I should just stop and move onto something new I guess. I tried to smooth out some areas and make the volumes a bit more pronounced but it didn't work too well - also I… -
Re: What to do with old buildings?
Vig thank you so much for that link. I lost it years ago. I LOVE that site. I've had a fascination with abandoned buildings and vehicles for a long time. It began when our car broke down on a family trip and I found an old abandoned school bus down the road in the trees. I went inside and found all kinds of interesting… -
Re: "Sandy Bridge" is out!
One thing I don't get about Sandybridge is that I believe the mobos that support it only have 4 memory slots. This limits heavy resource hog users (like us) that want to totally max out RAM (Think zbrush, etc.). Am I missing something here? Are there mobos coming that support 6 memory sticks? I know that Sandybridge draws… -
Re: Something people don't know about you
- Despite having a rather large group of individuals I gladly call friends, I find that I can still be totally inept at being social at times. - I didn't bother looking for a girlfriend all through college, and only now have started looking again, mostly because of the rather shitty relationship / breakup I had with a gal… -
Maya XGen Previewing Odd/Workflow Suggestions?
Long time no post! I haven't really..had the need to post in polycount's tech area for awhile as i've been doing well at problem solving on my own but...not THIS TIME >_< . So i've been going at Xgen for a good bit and i just cant seem to get a good grasp on it. The way these guides are reacting to one another is odd...… -
Lunar City 7 - One Texture Environment
Hey guys! Haven't posted in a while (Been really busy nearly finishing up at university), thought it was about time to post my newest work and get some feedback. Basically for one of my modules of university I had to take two themes and create a product for it. I decided to take Doctor Who and Retro Futurism and create a…
