I messed with Torque 2D and Multimedia Fusion but I'm an artist not a programmer, is there anything easier out there? I used to have Game-Maker by Recreational Software Designs when I was a kid, it was mega easy, unfortunately I can't find any copies of it on the interwebs and I don't want to muck about with dosbox to get…
Hi there, I'm currently working as an Arch-Viz artist and unfortunately, due to the current economic climate continuously hammering (excuse the pun) the construction industry, concern is building as to how long I'm going to remain employed. Construction projects are being cancelled and expensive 'luxurys' like 3D…
Hey, Sorry that I have to ask you this question but I dont know what to do. I want to get into sculpting to create cartoony/stylized Objects so I can make them to low poly in Blender and make hand painted textures for them. The problem is, zBrush is too expensive for me (student). I have tried sculptis and the sculpting…
At my university, i was told today that we are working with 3DCoat. Goal is to create objects and learn to use them in software like Maya. Everybody has to learn Maya, but i can chose the course where 3DCoat is used - or else go to something different.. that's why i am asking about it. I totally understand why they teach…
I need help deciding about some 3D aplications to get. Here is my situation, I'm new to 3D modeling and would eventualy like to be a professional at it, and I'm wondering which programs I should buy. I was going to spend a considerable sum on this and then I stoped and asked myself do I need this stuff and I want some…
Hi, I'm Sindre "Raminul" Gangeskar, I'm 19 years old and I've been modeling for about 1.5 years now. I'm starting to build up a huge interest in the 3d world, and I figured I'd love to do modeling and texturing as a professional some day, but I don't think I'll be able to get the chance of getting into the industry unless…
ZbrushCentral is down right now, so... I bought Zbrush a while back, but recently had to uninstall because I was getting some stupid errors. Now I can't find a real download link anywhere on the Pixologic website. All I can find is the 30-day trial, which wont let me input my license info to turn it into a real version.…
I got it today only three day shipping! Heya one question for you all. I am taking her home tonight to install, I noticed the game play disc, is their a patch or upgrade so I don't have to load the cd everytime I want to play a casual game or so I can play either at work or home? I am so excited about jumping out of my…
Thanks Shimmer! I think you're right, I'll remove those. It kinda sucks, all my recent work was contract work and I won't be able to show them for another year. Maybe I'll have to do another model on that level just for the website I didn't even notice the thing with the animation, but you have way more experience than me…
Hi. I have an old assignment in my backlog where I need to do a low-poly potted plant (how terribly exciting.) I thought I had a good grasp on normal mapping but evidently not as this bloody pot is fucking with my brain. I modeled the HP & LP in modo and tried to bake there. The results where not good, so I thought this…
