Re: Is Quixel cheating?
Yeah this is pretty much it. I think its really important to understand what dDo is. First and foremost its a toolset to automate a lot of the grunt work artists would normally do by hand. Setting up and managing layers over multiple input types, using baked content (normal map, ao, etc) to create base layer masks for… -
Re: Traditional texturing vs 3d Painting
I'm not sure what it is with 3d paint programs but some things as useful and holding shift to get straight lines, shift clicking, these other programs won't integrate that into their tools. Photoshop has a lot of cool things that make people want to use it. If photoshop had an easy way to work on 3d models, like if it had… -
Re: 1 hour mud box heads
[ QUOTE ] cool, yeah, i know you can achieve this look in zbrush. i'm asking just because it seems to show up in alot of mudbox work so i thought it might be a more fundamental feature of the workflow. sorry for the confusion. so it's a flatten tool then, thanks. i'll have to check the program out sometime.

Re: Switching from Max to Modo - Tips?
From a fellow Max/Maya -to-Modo migrant: 1. The destructive workflow is being addressed. Procedural tools and meshes are in the latest version of Modo. The sad thing is that all of the procedural stuff is hidden away in a separate menu. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next version of Modo to speed up the procedural… -
Re: I’m stuck. (topology for the cloth)
Hello ! Always loving the JuniorSenior avatar :) Along the lines of the suggestions from the Great Eric, and considering that the goal is an actual game asset for UE, then simply start by modeling a first version of the final polygon game asset of the tent at rest. Garment making tools may be useful to an extent since they… -
[Max vs Maya] Object aligning and Placements features comparison
Both of these software seems to have a decent set of features for aligning objects together and placing objects on other objects. But what are both similarities and differences between them ? I dont use aligning too much so I recently went in more depth and test some out and I was not little surprised to see Maya can not… -
Re: [WIP] Vintage Hand Drill
Going to be a cool project :+1: Remember my grandad had a similar carpentry hand drill I'd kinda 'borrow' using it like a gatling gun playing soldiers while on school holidays. -
Re: From environment to technical artist?
Tech artists roles vary so much because not all companies realise what a tech artist can do for them. I started writing some Maxscripts 10 years ago to help me out when I was creating assets. At Runecraft I was writing noddy scripts to add helper nodes to characters for the runtime guys, but I was still very much a… -
Re: Blender carver add-on
* Just go ahead and try Blender. It's free--what do you have to lose? Tinker around with it on weekends. * There are a few tools similar for Maya/Max: • http://hocuspocus-studio.fr/tools/product/multimesher/ (Max - free) • http://www.hard-mesh.com/ (Maya - paid) Neither are exactly what the Blender tools (BoolTool,… -
Re: Maya, create (convex) polygons collider for game
This is Houdini Engine for Maya. It works also with Unity and from April with UE4. You could use one tool in all of those to get generate your convex hull. EDIT: You know what... I think there is a 2 week long try version of Houdini Engine. If you are interested in testing it I can prepare a tool that will work with it, so…
