Re: NEED CRITIQ: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??
Yes it does you have to export from maya with smoothing groups turned on. I have found in my experience baking with smoothed normals on a lowpoly mesh almost always turns out better. To me by the sounds of it, assuming I am following you right and that mesh has baked normals, it baked the hard edge info into the normal… -
Re: The stylistic mentality of anime backgrounds?
If you haven't come across this already, Mclelun has done some research on anime backgrounds: http://www.mclelun.com/2015/10/anime-background-tutorial.html There's also art books for inspiration: http://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2279161/#Comment_2279161 Traditional Nelvana (western cartoons) backgrounds were painted… -
Re: PC-CSGO | MP9 Variables
Changes made to pattern, added a few extra details but trying to keep it simple enough for a low tier skin. Now to test some new variables! Also spent some time messing with phong - I dont want it to be overly shiny, just enough to give it that metallic feel. Finally for this update some alternative colors! The palettes… -

Re: Gaming Industry standard for rigging characters in Maya?
Could be Maya version. I worked on 2012 the most since that's what clients require. 2013 2014 have been worse in my limited experience. For every character, we usually have a separate base mesh for the whole body with no split. It would have similar or higher poly count. The riggers would rig this base model, paint weight… -

Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
I'm really torn on this. I went to school and i've come to the realization that school isn't exactly necessary if you teach yourself how to learn on your own, but a lot of that came from going to a for profit school and learning the ropes. As others have said the comradre is awesome, having a schedule that forces you to go… -
Re: S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat
Absolutely loving this game. It boggles the mind to go on Metacritic and see that is has received 65, a few 70s etc (avg 80). In my opinion, few other games immerse you in the world as much as CoP. I'd go as far as to say it's the most immersive game I've ever played. All you need is a bit of imagination and you'll be… -
Re: New Job @ Illfonic. Heading out to Denver!!
We actually hit 80's last weekend out here in Denver. Though, we dropped down a bit this week, but none the less. Denver's snow isn't like the midwest or the east coast. It'll dump snow but it will be gone and back into the 50's within a few days unless we get a wicked cold snap coming in from the North. It'll vary though… -
