Re: Maya to Unity
I have been working with Unity for a few weeks now and I am still learning but from my experience, you can just take what you have in Maya, combine everything that uses the same material to save draw calls and export out as fbx into your project directory and Unity automatically imports it along with the material. Then… -
Re: misc. maxscript UV scripts/tools
funny I had that same thought a few days ago too :D I thought about using the shift key or alternatively drawing a selection box of the tabs you want to have open. Or some tab dragging so you can switch tab order. I think I can add that functionality after I solved the 64bit issue -
Re: FuturePoly ; Prereqing/Preparing self?
book recommendation: Drawing Essentials by Rockman. I studied under an artist who studied under the author, and I can say the information is very sound. You can buy all the bridgman and loomis books in the world, but IMO these books are way too high caliber for the absolute beginner or even intermediate. Books however are… -
Re: Buying the right hardware for the job
From my research, to get the most out of your power supply, you should figure out what your load power draw (i.e. what you draw under high demand like high spec games) and your idle power draw. Choose an efficient power supply (the 80+, like you said) that your hardware will utilize between 50% and 75% draw from idle to… -
Re: planning a model
There a lot of ways to do it. I imagine most artist decide the personality,history, race, appearance in short everything that makes the character be a living person/thing. Get reference, sketch out a few versions if needed. Draw the character in a few poses. If you don't do it already it's good habit to learn to draw your… -
Re: Modo 501
Yeah you can assign a new material with different smoothing values. Unfortunately then you have another material... That would be bad for performance your game engine of choice.

Re: Re-topology tools
Hi! Most retopo programs let you 'draw' lines on the surface of a reference mesh that got turned into polygons, but this is mostly useless. Better use a border/drag workflow. Topogun Zbrush Silo 3DCoat Gsculpt Blender all have dedicated retopo tools. It also seems like MeshLab has a retopo plugin, but I ner tried it. Never… -
Re: Sketchbook: Elithenia
*Reviving* Realising that I haven't written in here for a while. Started a new job, where I'll be able to get a bit of time in the morning to get some drawing in. Having the fortune to substitute for one of the life drawing teachers for a while, I got the itch back to draw. I really want to get back to drawing regularly…
