personally Id prefer it if they took a long hard look at the workflows in max and refined them more. Graphite is adding a metric ton of new tools alot of which can be condensed into (to quote perna) 'smart tools'
Cool - keep going, and take the habit of doing such 2d adjustments sessions at the beginning or in the middle of each work day. Think of the liquify tool/smudge brush as your 3d move tool.
Ross I think you should take the time to introduce yourself, and the tool. Not everyone is going to understand how useful this tool can be if you don't. Looks very cool. Alex
Everyone in my personal life thinks it’s weird I’m trying to learn to sculpt as a hobby, but I found 3D sculpting apps on the iPad I already use as a drawing tablet so I figured it couldn’t be THAT hard to try it out. Well it sort of is and now I envy you real 3D artists much more. Flattery aside, I wanted some critique…
A) Really depends on the studio. I don't know of too many studios where Modo would be thought of as the dominant tool. Maybe id Software? Seemed like it was used heavily for Rage, if I recall correctly. Modo is mostly a supplemental tool used by artists who favor its toolset/modeling-UVing paradigm. B) Well, Modo is Modo -…
Setting up swatches is cool and all. But the reason i suggested setting up material layers and having them compiled into folders which you then mask on and off is that you don't have to worry about painting each map separately. You avoid any mis-matching or inaccuracies between the albedo and metallic maps lining up for…
[ QUOTE ] I was under the assumption that the GPU accelerated AO worked with the High->Low workflow =( =( =( =( =( Is there any way to make this happen? [/ QUOTE ] I could adapt the simple AO GPU tool mechanism to the normal renderer. Just need a bit more time. [ QUOTE ] Now again if you could save the AO info into vertex…
Hey peeps, I'm kind of new here so go easy on me ;) Over the past couple of months as I've been developing my portfolio, both art and code, I started playing around with max script to make some simple scripts and help take the monkey work out of Max. Basically make my way towards becoming more of a technical artist in the…
There were some changes made to the gizmos for TB4. Does this problem persist and can you tell me how to reproduce it? - Often times when I use the rotate tool it will roll in the reverse direction as expected. I cant describe exactly why but often i grab the wrong handlebar on the transform gizmo. I am most accustomed to…
Guys before when we were discussing about this month's competition, I mentioned that we could do stuff for real events such as April's fool and we don't need to wait for Valve to announce an event. Many people showed interest particularly on idea of April's fool both here and in Google Hangouts. So what do you guys think,…
