another take on this subject would be to improve learning the shortcuts the way they are. You can always invest some time to customize the shortcuts of the application, but in many cases a major flaw of almost all applications is the bad design of shortcut customization/ understand and learning ability. Silo is a nice…

That is a really good point. If you have a character with a costume it helps to break the figure down Into what substance painter calls sets. You can use the same strategy with any baking package. The advantage with substance is you can have your separate meshes in one document if they are named correctly. What determines…
When animating the character through the scene instead of doing an in place walk cycle it helps to have IK on the feet so you can lock the feet in world space and keep it from slipping around as you move the root node/COG. Various rigs do this in different ways normally there is some kind of pivot placement you can also…
Thank you for taking the time to record it as it will save time for everyone :) It is indeed a misunderstanding, mostly coming from using jargon too loosely. First off it's important to realize that the case of the previous artist (graphic flame pattern originating from the open edge of the helmet) is fundamentally…
No I get it- your model already deviates a ton from the concept. I was just looking at the head- with its bent perspective and the weird, elongated jaw line, and how that was coming through in the model. Theres a muscle there that I used to miss all the time too- As far as what should be a separate model- The answer is:…
Thanks guys for your comments! Here's a couple close-up wireframe images for anyone that's like me and enjoys looking at that kind of stuff. tacit; Haha, thanks man! And thanks for all the encouraging words along the way praetor187; Thanks I'm glad you like it :) FunkyBunnies; Thanks! Fantastic work on your Dizzy character…
I once contacted the customer support of them for more information like PDF`s comparisons ect. but there was not much to offer. I know deep paint 3d back from the max 4 days (Outcast from appeal was done with it) so very old- and it seems they never really upgraded much ( a sad thing imo). Someone here at polycount…
Fingers are a snap to rig they're just like elbows and knees, the thumb can be a little problematic and wrists are a pain in the ass but twist bones help that out a lot. But it all depends pretty heavily on the underlying geometry if your working with a mesh that was not designed to move you might as well pull the plug,…
Grimm_Wrecking: Awesome link! I'm going to have to try that. Would be perfect for grunge on my brick. That and a combination of decals. Thanks for the comments so far guys. I really appreciate it! So I started importing what I have so far into UDK. Its coming along, but there are/were a few hiccups impeding my progress.…
