Smaller studios yeah, but larger studios usually have a tech artist or a team of tech artist to help out here. But all 3D packages have auto riggers these days. 3ds Max has Biped and CAT. Maya has HumanIK. Blender has Rigify. I've used them all and only CAT is a little buggy, the rest are solid. Yes, just like the…
This looks very promising. One of the bigger selling points for me when it comes to picking out any new software for my workflow is support for 3DConnexion Mice. http://www.3dconnexion.com/ Any plans on having these supported in the future? I understand this might be bit far fetched, since only a small subgroup of people…
oh dude... how long are you planning to stay? theres so many museums... and sooo many beers to try :D "What about World war 2 museums,any definative must go to museums? " you won´t find too many ww2 museums, but rather memorials. eg the russian army memorial with the t34 (?) tanks or the "luftbrücke" exhibit near my place.…
"I just want to know if this is GOOD ENOUGH to have it as a Modeling or Sculpting ref. Thanks" that's pretty much up to you,man. Depends on what you need as a 3d artist to translate this to 3d. Usually the tighter the concept, the less guess work you have to do There is nothing super elaborate about the character. I would…
Yeah, that's definitely pretty impressive for your first try with these techniques. Great start. The problem with dodge/burn is that it just ramps up/down the value -- no color changes. You should keep this in mind, and maybe try painting over with a low opacity brush, or one set to Color mode, and see if you can get some…
I absolutely hate the TV show (it kicked FarScape off the air). But maybe the game will be okay. I own a really great game by JoWood though, Downsizer. It's called Desert Rats .vs. Afrika Corps. It's a WW2 strategy game, and it actually seems to have high production values. It's a great game as well. Scott - I COMPLETELY…
i really hope fedor gets a contract once his current one with affliction is over in aug. After seeing lesnar pull his WWE crap I don't want to see that again. Fedor can change that. i think the whole elbow thing to bisping was probably overkill, but now he'll always have a nice reminder of getting his face crushed into the…
Yup what Xaltar said. Also try to avoid harsh white (or black) backgrounds it really does assault peoples eyes and wash out details. Go for a nice natural color like gray. Also if you're interested in lighting characters these links might be of interest to you? http://boards.polycount.net/showthread.php?t=51209 (A little…
I've seen another interview, where he says he does the inorganic parts in Lightwave. Can't find the link right now though... Found it.. The Scott himself replies.. superactionfunboy: "Hey Zfolk! Bruce's pipey mess is actually done in another app' (lightwave). Everything else mechanical, Mcneils dress, boots, and the orcs…
