Re: Grouped Chracter Mesh & Skeleton - Not Moving Together- Maya 2012
It looks like you're mixing usage of groups used for animation and groups for organization. For instance, I could have a group called Spheres_GRP, and have redSphere_GEO, blueSphere_GEO, and greenSphere_GEO in it for organizational purposes. I could also group together redSphere_Outter_GEO and redSphere_Inner_GEO, and… -
Apple mini M4pro vs laptop with rtx4080?
I am using 15" laptop but never laptop screen really . It's too small for working comfortably . Prefer Samsung 22'screens because with detachable leg they fit a suitcase and survive airports just fine when wrapped by a winter jacket. Takes 5 min to assemble in any hotel or bnb place. Laptop keyboards are super… -

Why do things look darker when wet? Translate to PBR?
So, I spilled water on my grey shirt. And my shirt became a darker grey in that spot. Why does this happen??? If water is clear and the albedo of my shirt is grey, why does it get darker? Why is wet sand darker than dry sand? Wet asphalt darker than dry? etc etc etc?? Is this something to do with water refracting light on… -
Baking lights SUCKS!! Does your studio use dynamic environment lighting?!?
<start mini rant> Just a micro rant but I've been 'stuck' using Unreal tech for the last 4 years and am getting pretty damn sick and tired of baking lights. Even using Beast just sucks. Looks great - but takes an f'n long time. Seems like there is just so much overhead involved w/ static lighting - lightmaps, lightmap… -

Re: A good game art online course???
First step is always - Google. Find some online schools and courses and see if they might have something that fits your interests.

Re: Normal Mapping Issue - Zbrush to Maya
cmtanko: Ok, so here is my uv map, and normal map. Uv map I made in maya, normal map is from zbrush. I haven't tried xnormal as I don't really know how to use it. But I did try baking in Maya and from zbrush. I uv mapped the whole model again, and that did help some of the artifacts go away. I also tried using Uv master in… -
Re: Differed Rendering and BnW Specular Workflow
I am not aware of any engines that use the metalness workflow but don't claim to have physically based shaders, but that in itself doesn't mean much. Again, its not mutually exclusive.
