Re: Man I'm sometimes freaking the fuck out
Hey I think most of us have been in this position, I certaintly was and managed to overcome most of these thoughts. A fully detailed rifle would of taken me 3 months to create, now I can probably do one in 2/3 weeks. (High poly and started the low poly). However by professional standards that is still ''slow'' as good… -
Re: Maya or Max for Environmental Modeling
I did technically learn Blender first. With Bmesh now there is essentially no qualitative difference between it and the basic the Maya modeling tools. If anything a lot of the Blender interface makes more intuitive sense if you don't know anything else. I think "extrude" and it's E, or S for scale, if you're an English… -
Re: idiot's guide to rigging & weighting for xsi?
Well if all you are going to do is posing I'd say use the default rigs. They are perfect for that, with simple controls, and a nice setup guide rig for quickly matching the animation rig to your mesh proportions and posing. They even have all the deformers grouped separately so when you envelope you just click on the… -

Re: Going from Modo to Blender
The rest of the team is in Blender, and there are custom tools and workflows that require me to stay in Blender. Here's a question: is the best way to do a Radial Array to now use Geometry Nodes as detailed in this video tutorial? It looks like the Array modifier is for Linear Arrays only. The Fastest Way To Make Circular… -

Re: Why is it recommended to make all UV seams hard?
In general: hard edges require corresponding UV splits for padding but UV splits do not require hard edges. Hard edge placement is about controlling low poly smoothing behavior and baked normal gradation. UV seam placement is about optimizing usable texture space while also limiting texture distortion. Bringing the two…
