I know that a previous version of SoftImage worked on Linux. But that was a few years back, it might have changed since then. I'm confident that Max and Maya do not work on Linux, and attempting to use an emulator or other such solution is not adviseable. For a 3D editing program, you generally want as much performance as…
That may be true out on the west coast (in fact, I'm sure it is), but it isn't true for most of the rest of the US. The majority of middle America pays roughly the same cost in mortgage payments (plus taxes, etc) as they do in rent for an equivalent property, given reasonable rates and a normal down payment (15%-25%). That…
Near the end of the arc things start to pick up again, and the next arc is kinda interesting. The problem is that they adapted it pretty much 1:1 from the manga, where the narration was kind of necessary. What they should've done is done more showing and less telling. Again, it fixes itself near the end of the arc (and the…
Okay, here's the first shot of what will basically be the scene. I'm still getting some funky edges in the normal map, and I'm not sure how much more I can work with the UVs, given how it's all painted and whatnot. So right now I'm trying to get that map up to an acceptable level, and I'll have to put all this advice more…

I thought I might reserve a spot to begin this challenge, but I'm currently working full time so I'm just going to see how far I get with this. Currently researching for ideas and using this line as a starting point for research: He is a freak of nature, a monster, an anomaly who doesn’t belong in the world he lives in. So…
Hello, Polycount! I believe i finished (?) this piece for my portfolio. But - before i release it on my Artstation - i would like to request some feedback. On this project i began modeling the "run of the mill" gun, and then, after i finished it, i thought with myself: "meh". Then i modeled a scene to give it more…
So I'm still less than a year into Zbrush, thought I'd like to take a crack at some simple hard surface and throw my hand-painting background into it to see where it gets me. I'm making a scene meant to be used in a virtual world but I plan on expanding on it past that project and into UE4 later on. Original sketch: The…
The decline in comps over the years IS a sad thing. However, it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise. Like others here, I'll just speculate on the reasons why. 1. To maintain any interforum comp, you actually need other sites with which to compete. The global art community just isn't filled with a lot of forums these…
When doing modular characters I usually skin up a base mesh first and then all of the clothing copies its weights from that base mesh as a starting point and then you refine and tweak any bits that didn't copy so well or are too divergent from the base mesh to accurately be copied. Also keep in mind that there isn't one…
