I saw Quixel's tutorial for the chainsaw using that technique in Maya it looks very handy! Max creates multi-sub materials on the fly too but as the tutorial says it's apparently more intensive. I have no problem at this stage taking it over into Maya if I was to add another program to the pipeline but at my current stage…
Wow, there's some serious lovin' going on in this thread, some really useful info here, good stuff guys. Just chiming in to add that I agree with Gauss' tips for polishing up your current site. As well as Ott's crits/tips on building a more diverse, well rounded character reel. You've got a cool style to your 3d stuff man,…
Good to see you back on the horse. Although I don't think you ever fell off it Like dabu said, proportions look reasonable. In the next one try turning off the symmetry when you do the final touches with the rake tool, and do some shorter strokes. Right now it looks a bit like waxy combed-back hair And when you're done…
I once bought one few year ago. A pen tip had a subtle backlash /air gap between the tip and sensor so it did "click" sound like a mouse all the time and the driver was a non stop issue too. I just gave it away after a week and bought cheap Wacom. Now I use Intous pro M and still think that cheap smaller buttonless Wacom…

So here's the progress on the shoes so far. I love polka dots and they fit well on the shoes, but I'm still figuring out wether it will fit the rest of…

I was putting them in the middle until someone…
I tried installing Vorofrag, but Max wouldn't launch because it's stopped being updated. It is critical that I can tie the tragmentation density to a bitmap, which Fracture Voronoi doesn't allow. I also wasn't able to find the option in Rayfire Shatter, although I DID get it working with Rayfire Voronoi. That was the only…
