So I have started writing my own DX11 Tesselation shader, at a hope of looking at how they could be used for VFX. I started trying to get some basic tesselation working in Maya 2014 with the DX11 shader with viewport 2.0 and I am having some trouble with the domain shader. I think I am passing the right data sets through…
Hi polycounters I've been lurking around these forums for a long time but never really posted much for some reason. So much great content on this site. Thanks to everyone who contributes! Posting this thread since I'm a bit lost when it comes to my career as a 3d artist and figured someone might be able to give me some…
I agree nothing is going to give you better results than doing it all by hand but what a task that is. I do a few metric tons of lip sync every year. Pretty much the same situation it sounds like. The two apps you're looking at, don't. They are both horrible. At work we looked into them both extensively and came to the…
Hi all, we're looking into hiring several people here in our studio in Annecy in the character team.

The ever-popular Xoliul Shader has now been given an overhaul and we talked to the geniuses responsible for it's awesomeness. Laurens and Robbert-Jan have been hard at work and what they're come up with will surely be a huge asset to everyone here at Polycount. As always, Xoliul Shader 2 is going to be completely free but…
It can mean a wide range of duties so finding general tutorials is going to be hard. - FX artist can mean doing cinematic work. Sculpting high poly meshes using Zbrush or Mudbox then rigging complex characters while working with advanced material types along with cloth, hair & fur. - Or it could mean you heavily use a…
Game Industry and technology will never slow down. This is parts of business and the reason Autodesk keep releasing a new version of their entire software list every years. That is why everyone need to keep rushing, producing and learning. Well learning isn't bad. But we aren't machines and need to think life too. I come…
