Re: Becoming a Lead Artist
Nice thread guys, I'll drop in a bit with my own experience. I'm no lead, but I had dealings with a few, good and bad ones. My first lead was a really good guy, he had all that was needed to be on that position. But he didn't have the time to do art and felt his skills would disappear completely after a couple of years. He… -
Re: Need clarification: Tangents and Binormals, Tangent Space, Tangent Space per Fragment.....
Tangents are vectors in object space that are usually perpendicular to the normals. Binormals (which are also sometimes called bitangents) are usually perpendicular to both the tangents and the normals. In all common tangent spaces used today, tangent vectors correspond to pointing to the right on your UV map in 2D space.… -
Re: Creating Trim Sheets 4 Part Tutorial - Polygon Academy
thats the nature of gamedevelopment haha. a lot of back and forth and iteration usually. I have never worked on an asset or level that was one and done unfortunatley. in most cases you will probably have atleast proxy models of the level kits that the designers have been using to do their layouts with so you can reverse… -
Re: General Retopology question
I wasn't aware that someone else had textured and rendered it. Doesn't really change much, you'd still be crazy to attempt it in BPR. Anyways, the aliasing, materials, and lighting inconsistencies are usually dead giveaways that something was rendered in Zbrush, that's absolutely still true of the beta images. If they get… -
Re: Answered: dDo, smart materials and UV seams
Hi! Sorry to hear that. In general I would say that the way you create your UV layout is extremely crucial for which ever workflow you use. I try to always place my seams where there would be a natural break in the object: So for cloth I break them in a seam, For hard-surface where two surfaces are joint together by a weld… -

Re: vote UNION: yes
You do realize that the entire underlying theory of a union is using the government via force of law to tilt the balance of power in an employee / employer relationship massively in favor of the unionized employees? The theory, anyway. In the real world, the mixing point between socialist / anticapitalist / populist… -
Re: Surface Pro? whats your verdict? I am thinking of getting one.
I have a Surface Pro 2, which I got for the intention of doing 3d sketching. I think the biggest draw is the Zbrush just isn't optimized for tablets yet, or Photoshop for that matter. By optimized I mean touch friendly interfaces, larger buttons, marking menus for the pen, that sort of thing. After about 6 months with it,… -
Re: Am I overestimating my system requirments?
I have to disagree about nVidia, being an ATI user myself. I can and usually do run all the programs you mentioned at once without any real issue (ram is the only thing that might suffer). Otherwise my setup is nothing awesome. But as a new thing coming out, Windows 8 is a lot more flexible and dynamic. Correct me if I'm… -
Re: WIP Scifi Soldier
Pretty much the only things you have to worry about with a base mesh and zbrush are evenly distributed quads, avoidance of triangles and bad poles, and having all of your extrusions in the base mesh. like, if you have antennas sticking out of his head, you need those in the base mesh, otherwise, you will need to pull them…
