OK thanks guys. Should have something new in the coming weeks, hopefully it gives off a better idea of the app. We're currently in the process of redoing the behaviours screen to make it faster, easier, and overall nicer. Isaiah, definitely a difficult niche to full. Make it too easy and it won't be powerful enough. Too…
I'm taking my first course about Zbrush today and yes what I've did look like some sh** for the moment and I was playing with the Zsphere tool, but every artist was doing sh** at the beginning right ;) Honestly, this app is SO much more powerful that i was thinking! I was watching livestream of people doing sculpting in…
I know this was a suggestion, but I actually undocked the various and modeling tab to fit them on the same panel... Tabs are not a good idea here imho :> @specter: I think rappatools 3 is not meant to be a replacement for max interface (Am I wrong rappy ?) and is more like a power user thing. So yeah I think vanilla max…
In this context I'd absolutely encourage investigating ways to reduce tiling with small textures as Eric suggests. learning these techniques pays off in all sorts of ways (i recommend mocking it up in photoshop/designer, then figuring out the maths later btw). but That particular example.. not sure I'd recommend it…
Own! I rented for a while, but then reailzed i could have a mortgage for a house that is mine (at least in essence, and will be mine) for less than what rent was costing. I think thats what people mean by "throwing money away" ben. It is a matter of preference, what you mentioned about being free to do what you want,…
Some musings on geometry in zbrush... SubD- Standard geometry to work with for most people. You have the upside of subdivision levels which allow you to modify big forms in a forgiving way, but the downside of being restricted by your original basemesh. Dynamesh- Dynamesh isn't overly smart, all it wants to do is make nice…
I probably didn't word that as well as I should of. Min spec is any DX9 compatible card with 256mb of ram or greater. Nitrous has higher requirements for some of its advanced features like realtime lighting and display of normal maps in the viewport. For general animation and rendering (typically fewer than 1,000 objects…
vancouver seems to be all contract latley and it sucks. I am always open to hearing about new job opportunities even if im only 3 months in on a 10 month contract. the one nice thing about being on contract is you tend to get a steady raises, so if there is a good opportunity go for it. chances are it will take you around…
Ok, so I dug up these files off an external drive and decided to look at how my process has changed over the years. Let this embarrassing thread be a standing memorial to the learning process. This file was last updated February 2nd 2010. Total noobs out there, learn from my mistakes. Ok, upon initial inspection the first…
May 9 Update: I built the central tower with a lot of verticality, since the small overall room size was a little bit claustrophobic. I think I might have a beam of sunlight shine through the circular window at the top? It might create a cool effect if the bloom and light rays interact with a hanging sculpture there.…
