Re: Maya or Max for Environmental Modeling
I did technically learn Blender first. With Bmesh now there is essentially no qualitative difference between it and the basic the Maya modeling tools. If anything a lot of the Blender interface makes more intuitive sense if you don't know anything else. I think "extrude" and it's E, or S for scale, if you're an English… -
Re: idiot's guide to rigging & weighting for xsi?
Well if all you are going to do is posing I'd say use the default rigs. They are perfect for that, with simple controls, and a nice setup guide rig for quickly matching the animation rig to your mesh proportions and posing. They even have all the deformers grouped separately so when you envelope you just click on the… -
Re: [3dsMax] How to recreate this zipper rig - for Unity?

The bind pose is zipper closed. If you watched that video but still dont know where to start you will not be able to use any advice… -
Re: Retopology / high res / baking workflow for rookie? Bad Mesh + Many Softwares + Game Engines

In my 11 years exposure to 3D arts I started with Kinetix 3Ds Max 3.5 and have since kept learning new softwares from Adobe packages to Maya and now… -
Re: Why is it recommended to make all UV seams hard?
In general: hard edges require corresponding UV splits for padding but UV splits do not require hard edges. Hard edge placement is about controlling low poly smoothing behavior and baked normal gradation. UV seam placement is about optimizing usable texture space while also limiting texture distortion. Bringing the two… -
Re: Learning to bake
You need to check out Glen Patterson's tutorial for baking in Substance Painter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhoOHzoVReQ. It starts with ZBrush for the modeling and UVs but the rest of the process was very helpful to me learning (I am a noOb when it comes to SP and Marmoset). Using Glen's tutorial I was able to use… -
Re: zbrush uv map
