Re: Courtyard
probably because of the statue (character) in the middle of the scene. But 18.000 tris is a bit waco for something that looks so simple. -
Re: Nifty... MayaLT on Steam
Heya, I can completely relate to that line of inquiry. I was doing the same not long ago, and also coming from a Maya background I couldnt really see the worth in Modo at first. Even looking for examples as to why it was better or faster was not easy. Once Modo steam edition came out ($150), I ended up giving it a chance,… -
Buying any new tech this holiday season?
Just like in the epic South Park episode(s), black friday is coming. Are you guys buying any new tech gadgets? I was thinking about getting an old Microsoft Surface Pro, but I think I will save my money and try to get the Surface Pro 2 (much better in quality) later on in the year. Would be awesome to finally have a pen… -
Achieving "Rooot" and Meaning
Usually I'm creating production artwork and recently, I have felt the anguish from what I can only describe as a slow burn. The industry folk call it burning out. It had definitely been affecting my productivity. After a long tired nothing period, I picked up the Wacom yesterday and better still, just for the purpose of… -
Re: A Question for You Designers...
Me and Arshlevon were having this conversation a bit the other night. Bare with me now as I'm gonna ramble a bit. I think there is a huge majority of people in the industry as artists, who aren't really artists. They are technicians. They have learned a very limited ruleset of this+that=game asset. While it results in ok… -

Re: West Texas fertilizer plant fire/explosion
Totally devastating to that community. I wonder when criminal negligence charges will be put against the company? I mean having that amount of flammable material near a school!!? Though blame would also have to go into the local councils zoning. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRKPQkufrSE"]VIDEO of the ACTUAL… -
Re: Books for Learning?
If your 3D turns out anything like your sketches, then I'm very excited to see what you come up with. As has already been stated, video's are usually a lot more helpful than instructional books. If you do want to go down the printed route, then pretty much anything by Ballistic Publishing will be well worth the (slightly… -

Re: Hard Mesh 2.1 - Visual Guide
Hard Mesh is the only plug_in for this kind of workflow on maya. It does exactly the same as mesh fusion on modo. the other scripts you are talking about use the standard maya booleans in a more streamlined way. When I tried the plug-in in its first version, I was really disapointed. It was slow and failed to perform…
