@pxgeek yeah that is same portal I went through. It is more likely a bug than intentional but for the big shots I just assume intent by default because they'll lie about anything and everything. i was only activating zbrush for a small task that i was able to do in maya so i don't care that much to deal with it at the…
Hi Tim! The scene is looking cool, I like the elegant straightforwardness of it. Going by the older scene shots, I would say your diffuse is too bright. Even though you are going for a very white-colored rock surface, consider damping the brightness on your diffuse texture so that more subtlety in the lighting can show…
Alright, time for an update. So, I've been implementing lots of suggestions and they've all really helped shape up my scene/ level. Particularly the camber on the roads. It really made even the boring roads into something visually appealing, especially with the water running down them in realtime. I've tried to manually…
Hey, I keep a 32bit version of Maya around for some plugins that only work on 32bit. Recently however, it has started giving me a fatal error on startup once the main window loads. Looking at the crashlog it seems that a nvd3d9wrap.dll is causing the issue, all I've found on the problem is gamers saying that it's causing…
@NikhilR nope they just drilled, but because there was only a little decay, they didn't drill too deep. I have had that done before no biggy :) was slightly uncomfortable but nothing like that dustin hoffman scene in marathon man :)

You can find our YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@MettaOffline We're looking for a 3D environmental artist to bring onto the team. Please dm me a short introduction and your portfolio. We can only afford to hire on a part…
I don't see how there can be a balance in this day and age. Copyright wasn't designed, and was never intended, to be a business model. It was meant to serve as an incentive to encourage authors to create more works for the opportunity to profit it from it so that more works would be available in the public domain. It…
I lived in Tempe while I was going to school and I've wanted to move back down there ever since. But one thing about the place I noticed (and this was back in like 2003, so maybe it's changed since then) was the high number of homeless people around. I lived on Apache Blvd, which becomes Main St in Mesa, and as I recall…
