Re: Graphic Tablet indecision
From what I experienced the surface characteristics of the various Intuos models evolved a lot over the different releases. Intous 2 (and 1 ?) tablets have a rather thick layer of soft transparent plastic, floating on top of the hollow casing holding the guts of the tablet, which makes the device feel very soft and almost… -
Re: Maya script to automatically offset overlapped UVs by 1
I've tried to find a way to tell whether the UV shell is flipped or not but couldn't find any. There's an error in the Maya help file for the polyEvaluate command in the mel section. It states that for the -boundingBox2d flag, the mel command will return the UV coordinates for the bounding box as 4 float values in Mel and… -
Re: Diablo 3 : Researchs and questions about how environments are textured.
Thanks for the link. I can see vertex painting + masks/heightmaps working very well on a big single and dense terrain mesh like WoW but I hardly imagine it's the case in Diablo 3 since the map has to be random and everything. It seems more like floating geo's displayed on top of the ground with some kind of alpha blending.… -
Re: Art Test Docks
Troll, or just a moron? Anyway... Pea, You have a great portfolio, but I see why they didn't like the test. I think you missed the mark when you guessed at some of the materials. Overall there is a bit too much lighting info in all the textures. The metal might have been a mistake, technically its well done, but I'm not… -
3ds Max 2011 Snap error?
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Hey guys! I recently upgraded to max 2011 for work and the first thing that I've noticed is the changes they made to snapping as well as the really irritating free floating edit window for extrusions and the like. My first problem with snapping is something I don't know how to fix... basically if I drag some vertices in… -

Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
>if violence ever solved a problem with basic greed and corruption Man time is a flat circle. ChatGPT, how many worker massacres did it take in the 30s before they flipped the Fair Labour Standarts Act? How many folks did Lavander Panters zero before LGBT acceptance? Irish independance? no? Okay. Guess we live in a… -
Getting Feedback on Portfolio - Where? How?
Is there anywhere on polycount (or anywhere else that isn't reddit) that I can kindly ask people to give me constructive feedback on my portfolio? I've been working in the industry since ~2005. But since 2015 I was working for a studio that had me do... horrible things for money (just 3d models) so my skills have fallen a… -
Re: Critique for Animation Demo Reel Pieces
Hey, good start. Here are a few things I noticed on my first couple of watches. Video 01 - There are a lot of leg pops happening where you are over stretching the character and keeping his foot flat on the floor. Try raising his heel to compensate or bring his hips down a little. It's also hard to tell what he is supposed… -
Re: Concept Art
Hey Juan, nice work! I like your storyboards, lots of life and energy in them. I feel your more rendered work lacks some of the clarity that your more looser sketches have, but it shows you've put a lot of time and effort into them! To critique your latest work, for me it's not clear exactly what's going on. Is the guy…
