Do you use Maya's lighting?
So a fairly simple question, just if you are rendering out a scene to make it look nice and what not would you use maya's mental ray and lights that you can create in maya? Or would you use some other program? I ask because i keep seeing on certain portfolio's or pictures where it has a whole list of programs that was used… -
Re: Have you created an Indie game? With what steps?
I've been at Robot Entertainment since the beginning. It's a unique start up because we had 45 people that got together, and we had a project and publisher to work with on day one. But we've still had to discuss these types of issues. I think you may be confusing Copyright, Patent, and Trademark. You need to Trademark the… -
Re: What do you do when nothing feels like it's worth putting the time and effort into?
If like you mentioned you don't have this issue at work, but just for your private projects then maybe you need to remind yourself why you are doing a specific piece. - Is it for fun? Well, then you don't need to see it through. Drop it when it isn't fun anymore. - Is it to learn something? Then you better learn the thing… -
Re: EA encourages you to sexually harass their boothbabes
Obviously the wording in the promotional material for the competition was horribly done and it is easy to see that this will be taken the wrong way by many people, especially given the target audience. I am going to try and see two sides to the whole situation: 1) The promotion material was horribly done and droves of… -
have you ever...
been googling for something, and end up on a forum, reading through the posts, and someone is posting extremely inflammatory, stupid and ridicolous assumptions, and you just think for yourself... jeesh, that guy is the worlds biggest asshole. then you look at the nickname, and discover it was actually you who posted it? -
Re: Getting the form you want out of Zbrush?
Yup. That is Zbrush. lol First thing you have to learn when you use Zbrush is to begin your sculpt in low poly, then when you have the main forms, you can subdivide and work more and more on details. Or else you will create those famous Zbrush blobby sculpts. (I think everyone does when they begin really). Even if it takes… -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
Well your outlook is certainly suited towards the opensource mind set BigJohn, but most of the industries don't share it. It's about making money, and for some of the bigger companies the money is all they care about. I know I only purchase what interests me, and what i need. The thing is, while you may sell your models,… -
Re: Which online school for 3D do you think is the best?
pluralsight is about $30 a month and has tons of content. It's not the latest and most advanced techniques, but it gives a solid foundation in modeling, texturing, animation, rigging, whatever you choose. If you are just starting, I'd recommend starting with something that isn't hundreds of dollars. Also, those more… -
Re: How do you get good at Zbrush?
No tutorial will give you confidence in your gestures when sculpting. That comes from repetition. Only way to make your sculpts less sloppy, smooth where you want and sharp where you want is to sculpt and sculpt and sculpt! Tutorials are good to learn the tools and workflows, so if you got the hang of that, then there's no… -
Re: How do you make cutout plant texures
If you need normal maps, etc... (even if not) I recommend just modeling them yourself. With a textured model you can easily render out whatever maps you need especially alpha. It definitely takes longer to initially set up for sure but you can get exactly what you want out of it. Good photo reference is still essential and…
