Re: Trying to learn character modeling
Greetings, I'm in a similar boat here in terms of getting into character modeling. This tutorial here was very helpful for me when I started a quarter ago: http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp it's max instead of maya I know, but the modeling principles are interchangeable. I hope it helps, I'm… -
Re: Starting out - Advice welcome!
Try to find some of the more detailed and practical tutorials like The Joan of Arc tutroial and never buy any training DVDs without some sort of preview of what you're getting. A lot of "tutorials" tend to just be an excuse for dick-measuring and bragging about one's own talent without any method or theory. I remember this… -

Re: Yak-17
Working on the UDK scene, lighting mostly for now. The sky dome is a placeholder until I can make my own.

Also expect some… -

Need help learning MAX's SKIN modifier...
I've signed on to help with modelling and animating for the HexenTC using the DOOM3 engine. I'm doing some of the beasts they'll be needing. I use 3d MAX 4.2, which I know is older, but I can't afford $3000 to buy it again. I always animated with MAX's character studio plug ins, BIPED and PHYSIQUE. But I'm told that Doom3… -
Warhammer (the weapon, not the fantasy game)
Hi again everyone, I've been neglecting my University work again and have this to show you. It's a Warhammer, or War Hammer (maybe should be two words? Doesn't matter, you know what I mean!) and I stole the basic concept from this tutorial; http://www.digitaltutors.com/11/training.php?pid=107 I was just watching it, seeing… -
Combining a separate head/face and body rig in Maya.
Hi all. I've been following a fairly old Maya facial rigging course from digitaltutors (Rigging the human face in Maya 2011), using my own mesh rather than the project files. I only have a very basic understanding of the rigging process, and a lot of it still baffles me, but everything was going well until the final… -

Re: Article - 7 Things that I learned during my first year in the VFX industry
Thanks for sharing. Your Mari tutorials are helpful too. I'm actually watching Justin Holt's Gnomon tutorials now. Awesome to know he was one of your mentors. Quick Mari process question, how did you do your spec and gloss channels. Did you start by duplicating spec channel, renamed it, and add something like a highpass…
