Working as a Visualisation Artist. How to progress?
Got my first job out of uni (studied design) as a visualisation artist / 3D Designer. I primarily use 3DSMAX, Vray and AutoCAD. I do exterior renders. So far it's been really fun and Ive enjoyed making materials and models for the renders. As good as the job is its high volume - low growth development. Would like to… -

[SOLVED] Weird shading after exporting in .obj
Hello everyone. I made some low poly building recently to use it in Tabletop Sim as a terrain supply. To be able to use it in TTS I have to export it as .obj with triangulation on (otherwise some of the faces will be transparent). In 3dsMax the model looks good, but when I open it in TTS I get these weird shadows. Some… -

Arion and mR 3.8 for 2011 series (iray included..almost)
I was surfing the 3d blogs and sites today and i stumbled upon some really coon news. For those interested, it seems that mR 3.8 will actually make it in all 2011 series and quite possibly iray too since it is included in mentalRay 3.8. Although it is categorically denied and refereed to as an"error" of the documentation.… -
Re: Which software do you hate the most to work with (for whatever reason)?
I feel this comment deep in my soul. Add Jira and Git to the pile and my effigy is nearly complete. I really like 3dsmax for modeling and environment art. Splines and the modifier stack are fuckin amazing but I'm saddened that UV editor is still modifier dependent. It's 2020... come on Autodesk. Also I would rather slowly… -
Re: Do any of you use the line tool to start a model?
its because all the raycasting and texture mapping math is based on triangle math- stuff thats essential for a 3d application like 3dsMax. It's kind of how the whole industry of games, GFX cards and 3d rendering apps went. Well I guess most 3d artist are kind of used to the fact that in the end everything consists of… -
Re: Align UV Island from Edge/UV Point Selection
@TTools I was never a big Maya person, the times I used it in the past I was really scared by the limited modeling tools. Always liked 3dsMax and it's modifier based modeling (e.g. symmetry was really bad in maya). As I said to someone else on Twitter, depends where I might work in the future and what 3D packages they use.… -

I mean when I did my plants I did in 3dsmax mainly and used tiling textures couse I wanted and needed to use loads of different plants in the… -
