Great! Another one Plasticity user :) Since it's used mostly by artists, it's better to watch tutorials for Fusion 360, if you want to understand CAD methods. Some tools are different there, but you'll see how engineers think and work. For those who want to try Plasticity, I can confrm, it's very user friendly. Also it has…
You know him in the videogame art community as PhillipK, the one writing all those amazing tutorials as of late. I wanted to talk with him about who he is, why he's writing these tutorials (really, what's in it for him?) and where he's headed in the future.

I'll keep things simple but if you want me to go further into detail on certain points let me know. 1) That is one workflow, there is nothing stopping you from making something in ZBrush, retopologizing (making it low poly) in ZBrush also too.

@Alex Javor , on the topic of paid tutorials/Gumroad content : I would say that this is not so much a question of compensating for income but rather just one way amongst others to tap into passive revenue streams. Being in (any) industry is great and all, but unless one is a studio founder or somehow manages to negociate…
surely you can render out from an orthogonal camera so you can just have the planes wherever you like as long as the layer order is correct? in fact it might be easier to have things more spread out so you can select them easily in the top view (for example) and still have them look right in orthogonal? also if you're not…

Hi, any ideas on how to smooth the bevel using weighted normals to get the same look as the tutorial ? no matter what I do, the bevel looks sharp. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10a8zcuozRHiK_E82KO6FSh3eOQdw9ttf?usp=sharing - Blender Scene is here
Like the title suggests, I'm looking for advice on how/where to further my knowledge of rigging (in 3ds Max). Basically, I feel totally handicapped by lack of information on the subject. I've wasted so much time and money using Digital Tutors only to find their methods are almost always useless (in my humble opinion), and…
