Re: Open Source Renderfarm
Back burner's deal sounds great. If Back burner is like that for Max, I see no reason why it would be different for Maya. I am a student so I could try the student version of either software. My goal for now is to successfully network render a ball. No hyper-fancy shaders, no texture maps, nothing fancy. Just a simple ball… -
Re: Getting Training For Characters - Reliable Options?
I was hired in my first AAA job as a character artist and my task was working on player heads for FIFA 23/FC 24 My coworkers came from a variety of backgrounds and all of them had different hiring experiences, from my lead who works on marvel/dc statues and came from a background in construction, to coworkers with… -

Super Summer Character Art Boot Camp!
Super Summer Character Art Boot Camp! Are you a highly dedicated student amateur artist looking for something to maybe push you through to that next level? The idea behind this boot camp is not to focus on helping you make 1 character over the summer. Its to get you to churn out quite a few low-poly/hand-painted assets… -
Re: Should I get a degree in Game Art?
I think the pros outweigh the cons as far as attending school. The right school will make hardware and software available to you that you'd be hard pressed to get your hands on (yeah, I now about "alternative" licensing, wink-wink, nudge nudge). I mean, you can't snag a mocap studio from a torrent. Also, the subjection to… -
Re: Why do people recommend drawing from life over drawing from photos?
While that parts true in that you don't need to see a real life counterpart for everything/reference is fine, I will say that if you apply to a traditional art school you'll find professors can indeed tell a difference in whether or not a student or applicant drew an object from a photo. They usually would rather see… -
Re: Bargadiel - Starting out Fresh
That's a lot of questions :D I don't know exactly how it works in Wings3D, but you essentially divide the faces into MORE faces so you can control the look: This image is basically what you have on your model now. As you can see there is one huge polygon (or ngon, which is just any polygon with more than 4 edges). This is… -
Re: London U.K PC Meet ?
its alright dude, i'm a complete social retard with a bunch of other problems. everyone welcome. just think its important to start networking and making friends with people in the industry. that sounds pretty cool but it looks like its strictly for students so might be good idea for you to start another thread for that. i… -
Re: Rendering Engine/Application for College Education
Everyone has an opinion on what to teach but PLEASE teach something that is Industry Standard. Redshift and Arnold might be amazing programs, but if 90% of advertised jobs are requesting VRAY. TEACH VRAY. Your students will be far more grateful. Same applies for 2D and 3D Programs. Blender & GIMP are great programs, but… -
Re: Riggers! Give me your favorite tutorials/articles!
If you still are a student I would suggest downloading a student license of Autodesk Maya (It's free!). Cinema 4D is a pretty decent piece of software for beginners, but if you really are dedicated to learn rigging you should probably move over to a more competent software as soon as possible. You will find an endless…
