Re: Showmethatagain : low poly hair tute price drop!
I think you have a number of things going against you here, but the biggest is that you're using software like Gimp and Inkscape. To be 100% honest, nobody that actually has production work to do uses those programs. Gimp is a badly laid-out, non-standard, hacky piece of shit and I've only ever heard of Inkscape when… -
Re: Learning to code.. C++ or Python?
I recommend you Python, I am not a programmer and I am much more comfortable with this language, the C++ generates more lines of code, it requires more syntax and variable type specification. If you do not program regularly as a beginner you will quickly forget the syntax and it will be harder to get back into your code.… -
Re: Learning VFX
Welcome to Polycount! :D I talked about VFX in an upcoming CrunchCast (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86513) . If you want to do VFX renders, ie movies, then you can do that in either 3dsmax, Maya or whatever 3D software application that supports particles and rendering. If you want to do VFX for games,… -
Re: Am I allowed to rant? Non-contributing community members. (Uh oh!)
I'm kinda splitted on this subject. I love to see some making of tutorials on some high quality pieces, however as Kevin Johnstone pointed out the thread he wrote on how too much help will stunt your growth, I think part of every 3d artists arsenal should be the abillity to deconstruct other peoples work and incorporate… -
Re: My first model. Help !
I suggest that you study human anatomy a bit before jumping straight into a detailed character. It's not much fun, but you'll be much more satisfied with your work when it's all said and done. Try modeling a simple mesh without a lot of detail, while focusing on getting the proportions perfect. When you're comfortable with… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!
@RawTalent: Your textures are taken directly from photoreferences (bad), and are misaligned to the geometry in many areas (worse) Major problem area's are: - The juncture between the neck and head - The cuff of the pants - The shoes And to a lesser extent the ears, and the mouth. Using photoreference isn't bad, but when… -
Re: Mesh resolution
I've tried to get a job in the gaming industry but they don't want people from VFX. Also, learning online is not always the best as you don't know how qualified the person doing the tutorial is. I started my YouTube channer after seeing a guy explaining the proper modeling technic for intersecting two cylinders. His method… -
Re: Answered: Missing Dynamask OR?
Well, it's in the quixel page tutorial and that's what the tutorial's author directed us to pick. Unless the "Metal Grime" was a custom preset of the author who made that video tutorial ... that may explain why the presets that came with Quixel default set didn't have it. -
Environment art question
Hello! I was wondering, does anyone know of any good 3D environment tutorials for things like trees, grass etc. I found plenty of building tutorials, but I can't find too many on nature related tutorials. I use Maya. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome! Thanks again! -
Re: Environment Art Self-Study Curriculum
If you are out of shape and you decide to do a new exercise program, it really doesn't matter what you are doing. You are gonna see progress in the beginning. The only thing to really watch out for is maintaining balance. If you are feeling lazy, push yourself. If you are feeling burnt out, take a break. Sounds simple, but…
