Ah yes like mac's vs pc's. :) I've taken a similar route. I did my first serious work on lightwave actually, and I still keep some of its workflow and shortcuts in my max and maya hotkeys. From my experience Max and Maya are both very powerful programs, and both are can turn out absolutely stellar work. Max's largest…
This is coming along nicely. But I think your lighting needs adjustment to get closer to your reference. It helps to place your renders side-by-side with your reference, so you can directly compare them. Also, are you thinking about adding more foliage?
Hey Everyone! I am opening this topic to showcase my 3D sketches, and hopefully receive some feedback on them. I will try to credit the concept artist on each sculpt (as far as I know where the image comes from). I created this sculpt the other day, it took around 3 hours or a bit less than that (starting from a sphere). I…
Currently less time for personal projects, but happy to have freelance work. Going to move to another region of Germany in the next two month, have to clear my flat and fix it up. Continued some with the roundtable room. Added in an old knight model. Updated the web build hosted on itch. Some screenshots: I decided to get…

Hey Talon, I can definitely help you out but before I hand you code did you look at listing 1 in the paper that is referenced from the blog post? When using the derivative map variant you simply replace the dBs and dBt in listing 1 with the code from the blog post -->…
VR standalone is pretty much in PS2-3 era of optimization. Number one reason of VR performance hit are the badly handled UI and Code. 100+ individual UI textures being called instead of atlased for example. As for 4k 8k, general guide is 2k for 3rd person and 4k for FPS. It gets interesting depending on company workflow…
Saidin: Fyi the vanishing points of objects aren't always the exact same unless you are doing an orthographic projection, or they are all in the same plane and at the same orientation. So the vanishing points of the road and the chair should generally line up, but everything else is pretty well on its own. Indian Boy:…
Outside of some very specific scenearios when a studio lets their 3d artists design their own gear sets or items, such 2d skills are not so much listed as a requirement for the expected day to day tasks (besides maybe paintovers, as stated above) but rather as a clue that such skills will play a part and potentially tip…
