Re: how should i rig this sort of hinge?
Are you using maya? All you need to do is set up a few controls, a global, one for the rotation, and one for the pivot of the bluish top piece.

Re: Whats a good workflow for those who can't sculpt?

Devices like guns and what not are important. trying to figure out whether to do normals in photoshop or sculpt it in mudbox i guess.

Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
I dont like it. Theres an inherent cynicism that comes with a project made entirely of asset packs and tutorials that cheapens the art of game development. Stock assets are however an incredible tool when used as such, they can give you a starting off point or fill in a gap in your skillset when needed, but it should be… -

Constraint Not Completed - 3ds Max
Hi guys, so I've been following the Introduction to Character Rigging in 3ds Max from Digital Tutors and I've run into a bit of trouble. For some reason it's no longer allowing me to constrain anything to anything - I even tried going back to previous bones/helpers that I had constrained before and this message still comes… -
Unreal terrain.spline blending. Help!
At 1:20 what is that called when you blend the terrain with the road spline? I would kill to know how to do that on my current project for work. If any one can direct me to a good resource for UE4 environment tutorials I would greatly appreciate it (any thing other then digital tutors). The main reason I ask is to try and… -
Sketchbook: Leviculas

I am going to do some tutorials (mostly Digital Tutors), but i probably won't post them as i'm sure you guys have seen plenty of them already. I would love any crit or advice you can give. Thanks! This is my first go at modelling something myself and… -

For everyone, i know i had to learn these things also, sometimes its…
