The way the Soft Selection rollout in the command panel breaks the layout was bothering me, so I wrote my first MaxScript. The part where it determines the falloff based on the size of the object was blatantly ripped from a script written by someone else, who I'd credit if I could remember who it was or find the script.…
It's a pity you post quite late in the development, because it would have been good to get feedback on your layout plan. I would have gone with a different kind of grid, either triangular or more likely hexagonal. That way you'd probably have a less noticable grid, and you would have less squish/stretch on the 'diagonal'…
This 3d sari is part of a piece solely for portfolio purposes. However, I am trying to design it as if it were a boss character in a fighting game. As such, the bottom half of this sari I would expect to move dynamically as well as the back part -- a cloth simulation or animations. Imagine a swirling sword attack and the…
I wanted to build a first person weapon for my portfolio but also do something that would stand out a little. The idea is inspired by the kinds of things kids draw in their notebooks in school, and also battlebots (but with people!). Also, if you ever saw that Simpsons episode where Bart and Lisa are swinging their arms…

A fake low-poly teaser trailer for a Bladerunner2049 game. I made it to learn unreal a little more and see what interesting stylised images I could create. Characters and models rendered in maya indie and imported into unreal engine and rendered there. The motion-capture was from Actor illusion. Hope some of you enjoy,…
China does publish some interesting stuff though. Should put some of America's criticism of China into perspective. (all of this is backed up by the HRC an Amnesty international as well) http://www.china.org.cn/world/2010-03/12/content_19596239.htm The United States ranks first in the world in terms of the number of…
