Maybe ! Not sure, but as always with that kind of stuff it is very much worth a try. I could see some arguments for and against : + Being able to reload the last scene on startup would be pretty great for consistency within a given project. In that context it certainly would be a time saver. - However it could be possible…
Both, they are equally important. It won't require major rework as you already have a solid base. Key thing to do is clarify start/middle/end of all the important phases of the entire action. Take Brian's rule 1 to heart and key all your controllers for each key pose on the same frame. This will keep the blocking and early…
Haven't had as much time to devote to this project the past few days. Going on vacation tomorrow, so I've had to tie up loose ends at work, pack, plan etc. But I did manage to get the rest of the trims sculpted out. I had hoped to get them baked before leaving, but I've only just started unwrapping the target meshes so…
Here is a sketch of what I was thinking I could do. I figured I would give myself the challenge of working on a hard surface character and came up with this android looking guy that is giving David the small device. I wanted to make a character that seems like a typical hard worker who sometimes gets the short end of the…
Everyone with experience will tell you zbrush is the standard for sculpting, there are no 'buts or maybes'. That's not to say we don't use both. A lot of people use both. Mudbox is great for texturing but zbrush just overwhelms it in terms of sculpting. Plus pixologic gives you constant updates for free, unlike most apps…
currently stuck working on the high poly, obviously since im new to this i figured id run into some problems and heres my first one. edge termination without ruining the nice smooth area of another part i extruded in the ridges in the grip but i havent been able to figure out the best way to terminate the ends. in the…
Thanks for your input guys. Justin, that just means you didn't want that particular job too much. You still ended up doing a bunch of test for 2 weeks or more only to get 1 position in the end and not get the others. Yet I'm always in favor of smaller tests(or a smart interview). And you're right, sometimes in order to get…
That asus looks good, and the 4700HQ is a very, very fast cpu. I would bump it up to 16gb and throw an SSD in there though. Only issue I would have with that Asus is it is 6lbs (MBP 15 is 4.5, 13 is 3.5) so if weight is an issue maybe something to consider. Also if you end up paying a few hundred extra for ram and SSD,…
I've been hacking away at the fur for the past few days, but I've run into problems with the tail... Now that I've rendered lots of smaller hair, I feel like the large cartoony tufts of hair I had in my sculpt look too different in style. I've been painting over it in different ways: "New" is what I ended up with after…
Nvidia's top end cards have never been outperformed in benchmarks by an AMD offering in nearly ten hardware generations (which is now how long ago the 3870x2 was, by the way, the GPU market moves fast). Besides, we're talking about now, not eight years ago. AMD have no comparable offering to something like the GTX980ti -…
