Re: Rant TIME!
just don't upgrade unless you see a good reason in favor of doing so, i tend to only buy every 3rd or 4th version of things. i only upgraded from photoshop cs2 to cs5 last year, and did the same with maya 2009 when i upgraded to 2012 last year, and the only reason why i upgraded maya was because i was getting into python… -
Re: Programming for the iPhone
Here's how I'm doing it: Unity Engine plus these plugins: Playmaker, NGUI. Adding SimpleSQL and Master Audio later. Playmaker is a visual scripting tool that will speed up your development 10x. NGUI is the best UI plugin for Unity and it ties into Playmaker. NGUI sends events to Playmaker. Unity is free, Playmaker $90 and… -
Re: Ddo or Substance designer
Good question Hermit. Making GTA or Skyrims are hard regardless of the tool set you use. Though using the leverage of actions of Ddo and Ndo with templates could get you long ways if used correctly. I know people are afraid of how slow Ddo can be, but if you have a good PC it is pretty easy working on multiple projects at… -
Re: Playstation VR Worlds: Art Dump
Up next is Danger Ball - a futuristic sports title with a vibrant art style! Each opponent has its own colour scheme, so we worked on a system that allows us to plug components into every emissive/VFX/light/probe/shader in the scene and have them all change colour together. It was really effective, and a fun way to… -
Re: Rig referencing 3ds Max xRef 2016+
I've used it on about 6 characters so far. It's been working really well. And you don't have to fiddle with name spaces like Maya. I've used it on Biped rigs, Custom Rigs, and simple hierarchy setups. I have not used it with CAT since I've always found that buggy anyway. Surprisingly it worked smoothest with Biped. I'm… -

Re: How effective are game design courses?
Mayaterror summed it up well. A lot of going to school is a roll of the dice unless you do the homework to make sure you get the most bang for your time and money. There are some schools that can prepare you, there are some that don't do such a good job. Some students are good enough they can flourish in any environment,… -
Re: Sketchbook: Sylver
I've put together a bit of a list of things I'm planning on working on to re-assemble my portfolio. Some are in the works while others are still a glint in my eye. I welcome more seasoned artists to critique this list. One of my initial problems with my first port was a lack of direction. I'm hoping this one is more… -
Re: Tree Creation - Part 2 (leaves)
That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing =) I would change a few things which may or may not speed things up. First up I would change how the leaves and branches are placed. I would use a object painter script to place the leaves and branches. Either Neil Blevins or the Advanced Painter scripts will allow you to paint or… -
Re: Sci-Fi cables rapid workflow
Because Spaghetti create splines with a lot of verts it requires the most optimization, but its still faster then aligning a spline line by hand over a complex shape. To optimize it I set the weld threshold kind of high 10-20 and it gets rid of a lot of the jag and weirdness but not all of the vert/spline weirdness goes…
