Everytime after I use maya, my C drive on Windows 8.1 gradually gets bigger and bigger. At least I suspect it is caused by me using maya. I've deleted the crash save files in the appdata folder whenever maya crashes, so it's not that. Is there some extra data being saved somewhere that I don't know about? I started out…
Hey, So i wasn't going to post this but i really wanted to get it off my mind and get it written down, so basically as the title suggests every time I do 3D I start to get overwhelmed on the problem solving things when things don't go right, I'm not sure whether I'm just a slow learner or I'm not learning optimally or…
I was in the same boat as you a while back. I see this as the path of the artist. Let me lay it out for you so you can see where you are on it. -The artist's path starts as a child, and you like art so you draw a lot. -As you get older, you are better at drawing than your friends and that gets you attention, so you draw…
Hi all! I started a Facebook thread asking all my dev friends what website, resource, or school was responsible for first getting them into games, and the discussion ended up being *really* interesting. There are ways of breaking into games that I'd never imagined, and it opened my eyes. I wanted to share that link, and…
Hi, I am looking for a 3d modeler/texturer/artist that has a great handle on hard surface modeling that can take concept art I have done of a military jet and partial 3d model I've already taken to a certain degree to completion and possibly texture it as well. Please send portfolio and your day rate/quote to:…
Okay, So when somebody reaches a "skill plateau" I assume that they have exhausted all creative, skill base, and technical know how they have. Sort of painting themselves into a corner because they have reached a certain peek of self awareness and are hungry for new ideas to balance themselves back out. So taking a quick…
I think you should set the shader to masked rather than translucent. If that broken window is a different material and it shows through I think that indicates a sorting issue with translucency. if that does not solve it you can double check the face normals be setting the shader to two sided. if that looks correct then you…
I've never really had an easy time working with the bend modifier in blender - it's always produced wierd results, or I've had to do a wierd process to get it to start working how i wanted it to work. One nice way of getting a good 90 degree bend, is to add a Bezier Circle, add a curve modifier to the object you want to…
wow ismail thats really great, i wish i got an interview, thanks for sharing your success story with us all... you totally helped that Daz guy get a better grip on how to get into the industry, he never knew that even though he worked as a character art director at EA for 7 years... but you know we're all just learning,…
So I've had Quixel for about a year across five different computers and it's been useless so far. It's VERY hard to understand what's going on and despite watching a ton of tutorials I have no idea how they get to the point they do. When I import all of my various texture components it just seems to wipe them out and I'm…
