I've found Digital tutors pretty lacking when it comes to anything above basic usage of apps, their LMS is really nice. its easy to work with and get at the stuff. Gnomon seems to be talented people but not always good teachers their tutorials seem to range between awesome to below par. I get the feeling though that their…
Books specifically made for games or animation tend to be underwhelming. You're better off browsing the Polycount wiki as well as video tutorial sites like 3dmotive and eat3d. I personally wouldn't recommend Digital Tutors or Gnomon because a lot of their game related tutorials aren't really up to date with current…
I would suggest Tim Bergholz , you can buy his tutorial off gumraod, iv completed it and it gives a great 3dsmax and substance painter workflow. https://gumroad.com/timb .
After watching Kris Costa zsummit session, explaining how he utilized the feature “HD geometry”. Where he created amazing extreme high detailed portraits. I wondered if the feature would be useful for a video games pipeline. I wanted to see if I could get high quality skin/pore details, whilst doing this all on one texture…
I'm creating clothes using Marvelous Designer. My question is what is the right way to add thickness and how would I prevent self intersection and rig it properly for games. I'm using Unreal. I see lots of tutorials showing how to make the entire garment thick in zbrush but I don't see how this is practical or even…

Here is the finished model. Started doing some colour blending. Currently working with fill layers. The tutorial uses regular painting layers and he jumps around to different hues a lot... Will experiment with that to see if I like it. It scares me a bit because its more of a destructive workflow. Leaves are missing from…
Hi forum. I was advised to post up a thread here about my current WIP. I did some searching but Im still struggling a bit. Working on a game ready tommy gun tutorial from digital tutors. Ive finshed the high poly and low poly versions. Low poly is about 5200 tris. However Im stuck at unwrapping the gun as the tutorial…
I've got a subscription to 3D World, and despite me being a huge advocate for digital magazines (iPad, Kindle etc) I love it. It's always got some decent articles and interviews in. I personally don't ever use the tutorials, but the features on the big projects going on in the 3D world are always an interesting read and it…
