Re: How does one decide on a project?
If you want to try different stuff or do something "new", you can do that as a refresher between projects. Because a portfolio piece does require way more time and attention. It's fun to work temporarily on something else to get some space from your portfolio project. What I recommend is that you finish 90% of your… -
Re: Best Software to Retopologize Hard-surface models
Yes, the example looks like it was defo modeled low and subdivided. As for Max'so retop tools(freeform) in combo with the traditional toolset: hard to beat. And there is also the Wrapit plugin(not sure if it's still actively developed) which add great functionality for retop hard surface. -
Re: Dealing with Art Tests
I can resonate with this. I had a few art tests in the latter part of last year and they can really take it out of you, especially if you get a few in a row or a 2 week one. To me they are about proving you can produce great work under pressure and to a deadline. You can take your time working on a portfolio, but you only… -
Re: What is the best approach to modeling building interiors? Modular? Not modular?
There is a deadline and a budget so you want maximum efficiency. This means do the most with the least. So build as much as you can from a modular kit, using unique pieces only where absolutely necessary to meet the desired artistic goal. Modern buildings are made from modular, dimensional materials anyway, so it makes… -
Re: Best series to watch online for free or next to nothing!
Watch LOST. You'll get hooked and love every episode, especially since you don't have to wait a week between episodes, which is the best way to do it. -
Middle East House - need some advice
Here is my first attempt (though been playing with this for quite some time). I'm planning to make three types: Poor, Middle, and Rich. Poor is here, and it will be base to extrapolate to higher classes. My main problem was to find any good references, and find good proportions. Both unresolved I think ;p. Optimization and… -
Re: Researching The Seattle Area
This sounds almost exactly what I had done years past. I lived in Florida working for Wal-mart and picked up everything I could fit in my car and moved to Seattle to look for work. I will tell you now, it is both the best and worst decision I have ever made. Seattle is an awesome town and by all means I really enjoyed my… -
Re: Normal Map Problem
Yeah, Google maybe is not very specific and helpful advice but chat GPT sure is. I didn't ask it to explain me vertex based shading personally but did for a lot of real time shader and pixel manipulating techniques and it have been best teacher and best focused and compacted info no nvidua published GPU gems ever been for… -
Re: 3dmax with Bodypaint - Advantage???
ZBrush is a different beast altogether. You cannot paint Specular, Gloss, Emissive, or any kind of special maps. You can only paint the Diffuse, and the diffuse relies on your vertices, meaning it stories the color information on your model instead of UV or textures. Look up Vertex Painting to see what I mean, ZB does… -
Re: "Best practice" to learn sculpting with Zbrush for free online
Zclassroom is probably the best you're going to find anywhere. They cover specific modeling subjects too, not just the button-ology. http://pixologic.com/zclassroom/homeroom/#digital-sculpting
