I got one of those awesome letters last week. And then to see this thread is even more awesome. After getting hired on and then let go 3 months later, selling almost all of my crap, and doing a 1200 mile drive twice down to Texas (one for each car I own) I should have an ear full for you guys. But I don't have that much to…
I like the Mx because you can set up custom button set ups through the logitech software. So in firefox my forward and back buttons work as such but in 3ds max my back button also acts as my middle mouse button and it is comfy and I have noticed it has taking strain off my wrists over a period of time. In the past modeling…
I'm on the fence about this, on one hand LC is a long time supporter of his students, i've followed his students work for some time through the work he personally posts for them. He holds his students in high regard, trying their following and for that i applaud him. (Below is assumed UK shit) I also know about the red…
Are you on Win7? My workstation PC had this issue earlier in the week (Quadro card), the day after I signed off with some updates installing. It only happened once though, it's a long shot but maybe related? Alternatively, do you have any monitors connected to intel HD? The latest driver supplied by Win10 (on home PC),…
No problem :D Yeah, you never want Maya to smooth your mesh normals out completely. Sure, most game models are all smooth normals ... but on the off chance you actually want a hard edge you will want that option off. I just make sure my mesh's normals are smoothed before I export. Tangents and Binormals are a Normal's…
Hehe don't you love the auto-shutoff "feature" of the Sennheisers ? It's so crazy to think that it went through QA and got released that way ... (for those not in the know : after a few minutes of detecting that no audio stream is being played ... the unit is set to switch off the signal from the base/emitter. But it is…
What on earth does this mean? Your portfolio is good in that it shows off your 2d work immediately. everything else seems redundant: what would go in digital art that couldn't go in 3d art or game art? Why have a webdesign section at all? Don't have active links to pages that aren't there, it makes me feel like I've wasted…
breakneck - Thank you for that feedback! I didn't notice the lenses were off that bad lol. Amsterdam Hilton Hotel - Yeah I should have posted the reference image of the camera before I started showing off my work. Those pieces are separate from each other, so that is why the high/low are the same. As for the low poly being…
hey illy, nice work so far. and u said you just started in max? good work. couple things. try to push for quads where u can. then reduce down to tris (but keeping the silhouette) for the final in game models. your models look pretty clean, but for instance, in your first piece, around the corner of the door you have a lot…
This may seem basic to many of you, but I am looking for suggestions, tips, anything really to get started showing off some of the textures I've been creating using Substance. I continually see people showcasing the sphere + smooth cube, and I have a hard time believing that it's just a screen grab out of Substance…
