Re: Getting paid!
Estimated Hours+Possible Rework (usually 0.5x1.0 of Estimated Hours, depending on how much ref you get)*HourlyWage. Don't forget about re-work. If they're giving you concepts and you're going to stick strictly too them, you will only get minor changes, but if they say "make a pirate" and they wanted something entirely… -
Re: Hand Held Lantern Game Asset
Looks great. What I see weird is that sharp turn on one of the most visible parts -
Can't see what material's selected ...??
Max 2011: Mental Ray I've always found it really difficult to see what material is selected in the material editor. That slight difference in the corners of the material box just isn't clever. Is there a setting, or a script to change it to something more visible .. ie. a bright colour? ps. I'm aware of Pan To Selection… -
Re: How To Get Faster... Faster?
Practice! (duh) I've yet to do it myself, but I'm told that recording yourself and watching it later does wonders for picking out bad habits or things you could improve on. Customize your Left-Handed Hotkeys. What tools or functions do you use most often? Are there little things you do often that could be set to a macro,… -
Re: Lets talk about eyelids.
For the final rig I prefer joints too, but skinning up a joint on a work in progress mesh is a pain, especially if the topology changes and you have to redo the skinning. For eyelash skinning there is a simple trick for that.* Clone/detach the strip of polys where the eye lashes connect to the eyelid. * Skin wrap it to the… -
Re: Environment Artist portfolio review
Overall great port keep up the good work! Viking Island Textures Textures are a bit noisy need less shadow or AO information baked in the diffuse textures. Right now everything seems to have about the same amount of spec which makes a lot of the textures feel flat. This scene could use a well tweaked specular or roughness… -
I'm just getting into 3d and I'm trying to make a thing with proper topology.
So I'm following this Pokéball tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPq0QF2vbBg) and I noticed comments under the video about bad topology, so I thought I'd try to tackle learning that part early. I had this "clever" idea to cut off the messy top off the standard sphere and replace it with a geophere (they are more UV… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (81)
@Kruskebunken Looks good, I think that adjustment really helped make it pop and feel more connected with the chair frame. I even notice a subtle edge highlight on the seat I didn't see before, @YairMorr I really dig the set and atmosphere you setup for the scene. I think the change of removing the fog from the foreground… -
mopKnit v1.1 for Maya
Hey folks, Inspired by the slideKnit Maxscript which EricChadwick linked to recently, I figured Maya deserved something similar. Basically it breaks a polygon mesh along its UV seams and deforms it to the UV layout in world space, creating a blendShape which you can use to transform it back to the original shape. This… -
Testing Marmoset animations and get a bunch of issues.
Hey folks. I wanted to test marmosets animations and get all kind of weirdness going on. I tried all export settings for the FBX but can't get it to work. reimporting the fbx in max works fine. Scaleinformation doesn't show up at all, the objects positions the further the animation goes is more and more off. Here is a gif…
