Re: 3ds Max Key binding confusion
In the main menu there is a Keyboard Shortcut Override button. Try turning that on and see if they start working again. It looks like a key with an up arrow on it. Or on older versions of Max it has a T. This turns on sub menu shortcuts and overrides the main shortcut. You might need to unbind it from another spot so its… -
Re: Art Institute grads/students
It was a bit more than 1/4th in our first year; the second quarter was mostly NURBS (as with you), but the 4th quarter was so largely too. I absolutely hated NURBS - there's not much flexibility, you have to outline your way of creation before you make the actual object, while I like to flip a poly here, add something… -

[ QUOTE ] 1) I can't model to save my life. [/ QUOTE ] That's 'cause you haven't learned, honestly, no one starts out painting mona lisa's :P [ QUOTE ] 2) Why couldn't one of those go into a game?

Re: (Spelling?) rant on forums
Traditional English grammar would require the -ie substitution for the plural of a noun ending in -y, but poly as we use it is atypical. Basically, it's not really a word as far as the 'official' language goes; it's generally a prefix. You won't find the word poly itself as a noun in the dictionary, but rather just the… -
Re: Modeling Fine Detail
Well, you could have used modo's displacement sculpting tools for that. In modo you can UV map the hipoly surface to be detailed and pretty much paint a realtime displacement map that will add whatever bumps you paint without the need to have a high density mesh. You can also paint the shapes in photoshop in grayscales and… -
UV Mapping discussion
Evening folks. Just a wee heads up on a UV mapping proposal I've posted on the Silo forums. I'm not posting this to get people to jump in and support me, but to point out any flaws or anything that I missed. There is no need to join there if you are not a member, just post any response here if you do feel inclined. I'll… -
Re: My first game ready character ( i hope )
Hi Mehdi, looking good! :) For the retopo, you should first decide the polygon budget your aiming to. This depends on what you want to practice on. So for example a big console game can go as high as 300k per "hero" character (with hair cards and high definition faces) while a mobile/esport will be much more conservative… -
Re: [WIP] Long Dive - Japanese Feudal Fortress Concept
I have had a hard time getting myself to move onto the texturing stage. I have no problems painting models, but making tiling stylized textures requires a very different part of my brain, and its not much fun, if that makes any sense. Anyway I know this is a really bad first look, but I would like help. I used planar… -
Re: (NSFW) Silly Female for 3D print
Agree with the chin, it makes a tight specular spot and I don't like that. The ears are not even merged with the head, I just added them to have a better look, of course they won't stay like that, she's not posed yet. And the clothes are separated in pieces. Same for the hair, I said it was a placeholder just to see how it… -
Re: First Low Poly Character
Hello Sorry for this bad overpaint...:poly124: Try to keep the amout of polygons according with the required silhouete. In your model there are some flat parts with a lot of loops (2), the top of the head with a large courvature with 3 loops from de side view (1) and from the front view a lot of loops (4) Also there a lot…
