From what i have read this is a really common format so I dont understand why its proving so difficult So I have an uncompressed video that i want to compress using Sorenson. I bought Quicktime Pro and followed tutorials online,…
Hi. I'm not sure what you call this exactly, but I'm trying to bake the lighting shining through the window so I can use it as a texture map. Does this make sense? How do I do this. Anyone have tutorials? I've manage to bake somewhat light but it was too distorted. I know it probably had to do with the direction of the…
I made a lightsaber! It was mostly box modelling and some sub div with a bunch of booleans and the low poly is 5,112 tris - not a particularly complicated mesh but not exactly optimised properly either. I spent some time going through the lightsabers in the Jedi art books and also in Jedi: Survivor just to see if I could…
Hey guys, how's it going? I'd like to apologize in advance, I have a ton of questions and have been having a hard time finding the answers on my own. I've been 3d modeling for a while, but have decided to try more complicated models to up my modeling skills. I've done a few high poly models before in 3ds max and maya, but…

Before starting the course I started teaching myself Zbrush and was very interested in creating characters, but never got further than a couple of shoddy head sculpts, and was then constantly told not to waste my time learning…
model I've created this artwork following this tutorial: https://youtu.be/c30sLP3MmsM?t=5757Original artwork: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5NlNzI have the impression that I was able to match the shapes of the reference better than the author of this tutorial, and my shapes aren't that gross. The top part of the…
i'd say a degree is only as worthwhile as the person doing it i'm currently on my 2nd year of a degree in "games design" but the course title doesnt really explain that what were being taught if the fundimentals in 3d modelling and level/character design. so for me the degree is making a difference as its taking me from…
