Re: Getting started... please advise.
I'm all for formal traditional art training and then teaching yourself how the industry best exploits those talents. Once you have the art background its just a matter of learning to click a few buttons in a few different programs. It's easy for schools especially the condensed courses to get caught up in teaching only the… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
It's funny i'm in the same boat here only in the opposite direction. I've spent 8 years using Maya straight and was pretty upset every time I opened up Max.

Tutorial: export to cryEngine with a single click!
Hello, I did it! :poly142: I'd like to share with you how I improved the export process from 3ds max to cryEngine. Also, with this trick you can improve many other...manual, time consuming things.

Games on the Android
I recently got a Android phone so I've been trying out alot of apps. I really hate anything that uses a virtual d-pad/button overlay, unfortunately including all the classic games that you can play on emulators like NESoid.

I've never had training or mentorship as a character artist. There are a few key moments where I've improved though; video tutorials, going out of my comfort zone to learn more about software features (zbrush has a lot of buttons, use all of them), and seeing how other artists worked; either examining their work and… -
Re: Physique and Skin won't work -- help!
The problem is that Physique was included in max with biped (Character Studio) back in version 2-3 (they here a bundled plug-in before that) and it was never kept up to date while biped was updated with features like prop bones. Physique just hasn't kept up and has trouble understanding the changes. Skin is better than… -
Re: Do you guys use common hotkey maps between programs?
@Mark Dygert you might want to give a try to KeyHydra, and I have to say I'm on the same boat here in keeping the defaults - not only because of software upgrades but also to be able to switch to any other machine in the studio without stumbling. But while I tend to keep the default shortcuts, I add to them quite a lot,… -
