Re: Complex tiling sculpts & textures question
What I would suggest, is to use something like zbrush's wrap mode on a plane to block out your pattern to make sure it works and tiles well. If it's just for blockout, you don't need to be too precise, if it something you want to bake from it has a little setup, I made a video awhile back of doing it manually but there are… -
Re: Help with Pre-Calculated Lighting for Environment Art Test
So, just a quick update. I fully learned how to bake some great Lightmaps with GI and Final Gather out of maya. I discovered how to (in Max) create a DirectX shader with Diffuse and Lightmap support- however, I can't figure out if there is a shader out there that has Lightmap support AND Spec and Normal map support. At… -

Re: [WIP] Enlighten Contest - Future Courtyard
@HeliosDoubleSix Hi Alex, thanks for the feedback! Really good point about keeping the albedo light so as to make the indirect lighting more visible.

Re: [UE4] WIP - Star Citizen Corridor Environment

Re: Anatomy give me a headache
Some advice- Make sure to not go into details all at once. Knowing anatomy is good for knowing what to look for. It will sharpen your sense of what's off and let you troubleshoot a fix, but the most important thing in my opinion is to start as generally as possible before trying to tackle very specific anatomy details.… -
Re: To any Aussies who got jobs in the US games industry, can you tell me how you did it?
I went over on a J-2 which is a spouse visa of a J-1. Because I didn't have enough 'points' to make it. 5 years exp plus 1 year of schooling was not enough. Actually they were the ones interested in us. We weren't really applying to places as we were still freelancing. Yeah any management or the person in charge of your… -
Re: [Portfolio] Nate LaMartina, Character Art
Hey Nate, great to see you posting here. I can't stress this enough; remove that f'n splash page. It just sits there and makes us look at it, and wait for it to load the web site. A few of the portfolio standards for you here: The two main standards of a portfolio is the portfolio itself (gallery) and the resume.… -
Re: Connect tool from Max in Maya?
Hey there, sorry again for causing all these problems. And thanks to Astro and Mojo for understanding my position. And I do apologize, normally I'm a very laid back person, however, I decided to make that post on the first day of my graduation week, which turned out to be rather hectic and stressful at times, thus my…
