NDCV Interesting. He paints with a broad brush, because I think he is a demographer, and therefore does not weight individual's opinions, but other than some comments about sex, oddly I think your own words prove your point [ QUOTE ] But being a progressive/liberal who had a hard time making the decision to have 2 kids, I…
what are you basing the animation part of your list on? it feels very, google-ish, where you mention a very broad array of skills that are not specific to an animator, but are skills that one would expect other departments to possess. (I'm talking about AAA studios here, indies? do everything yourself, I get it - am there…
Weight painting and rigging. I was hoping to get away with one of the pre-made rigs, but couldn't get anything working. Figured it would be faster to just rebuild a rig from last project than looking for solutions. Quick corrective wrist bone: And here's a problem that plagues EVERY ONE of my projects and makes me want to…
Hello everybody! I've spent some time working on an anime stylized project, where I used an Arnold's toon shader. I wrote this article to not forget how to set up the toon shader next time and maybe help someone else if they struggle with the same thing. Will really appreciate your feedback on my setup!

A great way to learn more about materials is to do a bunch of material studies. Make a basic test mesh (or even a sphere) and try to recreate a variety of materials that have different surface types. One thing I like to do before I start texturing, is identify each surface type (which I break down from the highpoly stage…

There is a back and forth about the quality of game design, that with top games is really subjective. In all the time I…
I think a lot of the edges could be a bit wider if its for a game model. Especialy bits like the trigger. From the reference i've looked at, it has quite a wide edge on the front portion of it. And while the rest of the gun might be accurate to the reference, I would personaly exagerate some of the details so the read…
I dont know why everyone keeps saying it will take 30 yrs to payoff a house. I know that is the average time frame banks give you, but you can do it faster. We bought ours in 2007 and should be paid off in 10 to 15 year range or less. We refinanced with 4% rate and made sure our payments were not too low. I think buying a…
Yeah for sure, it's a dialog i love having, i also have the fun opinion that light theory is never taught right, and i've never seen a book that outlines how it actually works, and as such i think most of the internet is wrong haha. Really when i talk about this i try and stress that colour theory != lighting theory,…
