Hello Polycounters! This is team DuOwls writing. We've been lurking the forums for quite some time and finally decided to create a thread for our own project. We are two students, focussing on 3D art and animation, and we're currently working on a small short film for university. We'd love to get some feedback and critique…
Working in my last major class, advanced 3d modeling not terribly high hopes for the class. If I don't have high hopes, rest assured you guys won't either and that's good. Teacher wants us to become "masters" of texturing in 2 weeks. Ripped a bunch of dvds for us, that's how she "teaches" us…
OK, so I am going to ride the fence on this one. I agree that the idea of "Buy Nothing Day" is, at its heart, a generally good idea. It's trying to get across the idea that acting looney and stomping and trampling people to get Trendy Item XYZ is a bad thing. Honestly, I do support anything that may at some point kill…
@throttlekitty i am gonna try that out because i would like to have precise 10m intervals for sake of authenticity, and i think that will be easy to setup. I manage this with world machine, and that's not bad because then whenever i go and edit the heightmaps i can output the contour lines along with it. so its pretty tidy…
I’ve been thinking about a simpler, more modern way to manage the flow of 3D content creation, as an alternative to heavier tools like Shotgrid. The idea is a web app that focuses on clarity and ease of use, with features tailored for artists and teams: * Kanban-style board that shows what stage of production each asset is…
I tried to view it in something different than blender and it looks like this on Sketchfab: The shading doesn't looks as bad as in Blender, but there are weird lines everywhere. They did bake out from the high poly into the normal map. However this also happens everytime with every normal map I bake....

I want to make a rpg game where you can have different armor / weapons etc... i have a skeleton of a human buf if the player take an armor how could i make this go on the character without doing all the…
I've found what seems like a good deal; a used Cintiq 21UX DTK-2100 for $500. If it arrives defective I can return it, but longer term the 21ux is not covered for repairs by Wacom. That said, the repairs would cost more than the $500 paid for it anyway, in most cases. I'm using a regular Wacom right now. Is getting this a…
Hello guys,my name is Bram aka movento. I started modeling like 3 years with Wings 3D.Since a year i switched to Maya. A half year ago i started to practice texturing. Currently i'm working on a personal project. My goal is to finish the model i'm posting here and get it into UT. I am aware of the fact that the hair looks…
