14 years old? That's excellent texture work for someone your age! I'm much older, and I still can't texture that well. I agree with some of the other posters. It wouldn't take much to learn some rudimentary 3D skills. If you prefer texture painting, you can still specialize in it. I certainly think you have the necessary…
I fail to see? I fail to see that a campaign to not buy EA games would improve my livelihood? YES. I do of course fail to see that! *Explain* it to me please! How can a succesful campaign to boycott EA product potentially increase my livelihood? "getting scared" of your option?! Oxy that's quite frankly hilarious. I dont…
I think you can rip it off and have it floating around. However it still behaves the same way not like polyboost. I'd like to try installing polyboost on 2010 and see if it works. I think the tools are pretty valuable even if the interface is a headache. You can also bind a key to toggle it on/off too as well as dock it…
OK, here's a parts list that I came up with. All of these parts are available at the Microcenter in Chicago at 80 East Ogden Avenue / Westmont, IL 60559. You should ask a salesperson to get a second opinion on this parts list given what you're doing with it and your budget. All the prices in this list are calculated after…
If you're posting your work on any online outlet that allows comments/response posts/what have you and you flip shit on someone who critiques, you're a dumbshit. That's Internet 101 - you post stuff online, you open the door. That being said, there is some truth to what the he (might not be a he but I'll call them a he)…
The job is definitely not for the computer illiterate. Some tech skills are definitely required. Even if you never learn to write a script in Mel (or Maxscript either), you will likely have to learn some sort of scripting (like xml) to handle the process of getting your art into the game. Traditional skills are not…
Hi guys, I wanted to ask you what you think about the following situation I've recently been in: I got a job offer from a new studio to be their character artist, it seemed very promising and they wanted me to make a test first, which is quite common. A week overdue I finally receive the test, it was a very rough black and…
So in 2007 when i graduated highschool i briefly considered trying digipen, but it didnt have the right program for me, and i figured it was just another shitty vocational school like ashmead college, ITT tech, etc. So instead i've been trying to tackle a business management degree for almost 4 years. The plan was that…
PEN (Paul Neale) is doing another Master Class, this time about Max Script for beginners. I have taken two of Paul's classes and they have been great, very helpful. They are packed full of useful tips and tricks and he does a phenomenal job of explaining complex things. I can also attest to the power of maxscript, I'm not…
Hello, I've been trying to work out my normal map problems for about 5 days now. I am getting seams where the uv seams are from viewing with just the (tangent space) normal map applied in marmoset 2. My UVs were unwrapped in Maya. They are mirrored correctly as well (I've tried a version without mirrored UVs as well).…
