Re: Animating cables
Hey man. So..I'm not completely following you here...a picture would make this a little easier. So, does the actual position of the cable move? or does it just follow a path? If the shape of the cable doesn't need to change, then you can have an animated UV layout so that the texture scrolls instead of the mesh actually… -
Re: Construcion cyborg needs advice
Thanks buddy! Actually I started the drawing because I was bored as f*** and after a while I started to like it. The next time I'll remember that form follows function and rendering follows form. I'll think about how to redesign the neck while keeping at least a part of the solid bars (I like them a lot) -

Re: Is concept design a good skill to have first?
If it would help me do better, I'll do it. I feel like there's this path every professional artist has followed to some degree to get where they are, but I've allowed myself to not follow that path and just wander around aimlessly and become distracted. Where would you suggest learning Foundational Fine arts as a school… -
Re: 3dsMax Reactor Problem
That seems a little weird and hard to follow at points but that could be my distaste for video tutorials. I think Jet_Pilot is right I remember having to tweak that setting too. I would try following Neil Blevin's tutorial it worked for me a year or so ago just fine.… -
Re: Omfg, Obama is President
Ahh crap you mean to say they pulled that one guy out? Damn it! Seriously though how many did Canada even have in Afghanistan? On a side note though, I find it interesting the rest of the world follows our elections so closely. The US never really follows any countries elections closely at all. -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Not sure i follow your question, but if you follow the simple rule of 1 smoothing group per UV island, you should get seamless bakes. I found with xnormal, outside of 1 smoothing group and 1 UV island bakes, you NEED to bake with a cage. But that's is just me. -
Re: Steampunk Vespa
Here's the baked lowpoly. It stands at 9k tris, which is abit much I think, but it works. I have some normal seam issues which im going to follow a tutorial to fix. It's most obvious on the front tire. Ilya Nedyal is a tough act to follow hah. His vespa is amazing! -
Re: Your documentary recommendations.
I'm not a big fan of the social injustice docudramas, so the two I'll recommended will seem a bit out of place here: - Carrier (multi part docu I saw on Hulu that follows the lives of a number of individuals serving on an aircraft carrier) - Dust to Glory (follows a few individuals doin the Baja 1000) -
Re: "I wanted the gun to tell a story."
I've found the critiques here to be much nicer than many art directors. Learning to listen and follow suggestions here is very good experience for a studio where they're paying you to get it 90% right the first time, and want you to follow precise directions on how to take it the last 10%.
