Yeah I know what you mean. Coming from a Maya/Max background I actually found Modo a bit difficult to really grasp at first. This post has a great video about action centers, I put up a link to more recent versions Senecas scripts earlier in this thread, you should visit his website anyway as it's good for showing you what…
Its been a while. Was sick for a bit and then all of the team took a break from the project to do contract work for the Queensland government but am back to it! I've continued to bake the ao/normals/ make the low poly mesh of everything planned on the foliage texture sheet. I made a bundle of hay that I was struggling with…
I enjoyed it a lot, even the smaller fights. Like the first one, first time I ever saw a Japanese guy win on the card. Very good fight. :) Henderson Bisping was pretty good all the way through too. Amazing finish. Totally within the rules. The ref was running in after the first hit, but he was behind henderson so couldn't…
Hey all, I just wanted to get some crits and some exposure on a little project I'm working on. The project is called "Justice Wind" and it is an original IP I made up later in high-school (AKA a long time ago). Back then I was a serious otaku, hence my screen-name which I've never really been able to get rid of.. This…
Greetings! So this is me trying to form a cohesive structure to all the thoughts I've been having regarding the Expo after watching all conferences, day 1 impressions and reading reactions. I also have attended the show in the past (2004-2006) so have a bit of first-hand experience on the subject too. Now granted, this…
this was posted on Newsarama and most of it seems relevant to us too. ONE STEP: PORTFOLIO HORROR by Jim Zubkavich This bi-weekly column is meant to give advice from me and eventually other people in the industry about how to break in as an artist. This will include tricks for the formal submission routes as well as a bunch…
I wouldn't say its time wasted, every application you make counts and most studio's really do keep your profile in their database for future opportunities. There is the perspective that a rejection means "portfolio is not good enough", "there are other artists better than you" and while this might be the case, its…
As far as the universities go, I think the article is looking at the issue from a different angle. A lot of polycounters are very focused on art. And in terms of art, the technical aspects are not that hard to learn, and getting easier to learn all the time. (as more user-friendly software is developed) If ALL you want to…
SP 2017.1 Substance Painter 2017.1 has been released! This is the first iteration of our new number-less release cycle. Subsequent releases will be named after the current year rather than a major version number. This means you will find the download under Substance Painter from now on in your accoutn rather than Substance…
The competition is intense for small outsourcers, which is to a degree cultural. It is easy in China to hire affordable and extremely talented artists, because the education system is quite good. These guys can create great assets as long as the scope allows them to work individually on them and just do bulk deliveries. In…
