Re: Hard Surface Modeling - Sculpt or don't sculpt
From what I have seen and experienced so far, a traditional modeling package is usually superior for most hardsurfaced assets because of the precision and efficiency. Often times the precision alone is enough to keep me inside a traditional modeling package over using Zbrush for modeling large forms. This isn't Zbrush… -
Re: Little Fantasy Scene...
Oh I actually pinged some coworkers and they respond with feedback or better yet, paintovers. For the monster above, I had a version where the horns were really dinky & the monster was lacking that lil 'umph' that I was looking for...a coworker painted the horns longer and it made a huge difference. Often times, it helps… -

Re: Wacom alternatives.
This was a couple months ago. Our art director at InXile bought it as a Cintiq alt, but even he stored it away. There was this electronic hum that was perceptible even to my ears (and I've been playing drums and bagpipes for several years) when the pen would be in a certain quadrant of the screen. 1/2 of the side buttons… -
Re: Mari 2.0 is out
Sums up my feelings. At the core, what Photoshop has what all these tools don't have (yet): an extremely solid painting and layers system that's proven itself over the years. Whoever can combine this with a solid 3D paint system, a procedural system, and normal map tools wins. Right now we still have to piece together our… -
Re: Time as Currency for Skill
I see a problem with this, everything you're saying is super subjective and will vary from person to person. How do you pin-point the moment that you're "technical enough" to be able to focus on artistic accuracy? What does artistic accuracy even mean? To me, there is a huge amount of overlap in what I would loosely… -
Re: Copyright, IP, and infringement. Oh my!
I can feel the love. If you don't like what I have to say, why bother coming into a thread I started? This thread would have fell into oblivion if everyone who disdains my comments had abstained from participating in a debate with me. It's not surprising that I'm found unpopular here. My talents for social discourse seem… -
Re: How do people generally react when you tell them you're a 3D Artist?
Yes! If you work with something besides general jobs, don't expect anyone outside your industry understanding what you do. I think more than often, if you have it as a hobby, you'd be regarded as a "nerd", which I could easily be pointed out to. But then I never care what people think of what I do, so never care to tell… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2 | Feedback & Suggestions
here are a couple feature requests that came up in the last few weeks: - global toggle for mip map and filtering switches that affect all textures in the scene. for getting crisper renders when zoomed out - display mesh data (triangle count, etc) for multiple selected meshes, same for selected folders or groups too (summed… -
Re: UDK environment: The wizard's desk
Well I just bought a month pass for 3d motive and there was a tutorial on doing a stone wall like that so this texture is just the result from watching it. It was very useful. To sum up you make a tiling low poly pattern in 3ds max or maya or whatever, takeit into zbrush, sculpt it, back to your 3d app, duplicate the…
