New to Building / Enviroment Modeling. Looking for some advice
Hi Everyone I've been an animator in the industry for a while. I enjoy 3D modelling but have quite a few missing gaps. I'm going to model about 10 wooden buildings for a project I'm on. It would be pretty cool if I could get them up to current generation standards and maybe one day use one of them in a showreel. I've been… -
Re: UE 5.3 low FPS in editor viewport with a 5950X and RTX 3090 (different sample scenes)
looks like enormous cost for lumen in this scene. You can toggle lumen by placing a post process volume in the scene, set the extent to be unbound, and then set the reflection and global illumination to none, rather than lumen. I dont have this project, but I am using lumen in my own projects and not seeing cost like that… -
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: Learning alone, need some advice
I learned Maya when I was in 7th grade. I torrented the maya essential training and went from there. Yeah I didn't learn anything really advanced for a long time but my point is that if you have the right tutorial, anyone can learn any program.

Re: 3DS Max Rifle Tut

I remember when i where new, i followed alot of tutorials step by step and it looked awesome but when i tried making something original i had loads of truble… -

Re: Zbrush displacement issue
It's more likely an issue on the rendering side. If you're using Maya/Arnold, try searching for that. This is also a good resource to look at: https://www.cggallery.com/tutorials/disp With the 32bit image, even if it looks black there's still data there. -
Re: 3D Modeler Portfolio Critiques: Brutal Honesty
Tobbo: Yeah you're really right! I do need to narrow down this Modeling passage. I have dabbled in several different areas, and I actually have several projects coming up that vary as well. While I do these upcoming projects I will take into consideration how much I enjoy doing each one and which one I loved doing the… -

Answered: Beginning Quixel... No idea where to start
Hello! I have Quixel 2.2 and I am having trouble figuring out how to use it. I use Blender 3D with it, and I can't find a good tutorial to learn Quixel. The tutorials I have found either 1.
