Need help understanding what these maps are and how to connect them.
Hi everybody. So my questions are kind of all over the place. I've been trying to read and watch videos, but I find it hard to find exactly something that helps me with explaining the maps that I have. So I found a model online to start testing PBR with. I can upload it if it doesn't break the rules. So I have diffuse,… -
Automated Lip Syncing
About a month ago, I started looking for a lip-syncing solution that I wouldn't have to break the bank over. I had cooked up a script for Unity that would read a text document with lip-sync timings, and then automatically animate a character's mouth based on pre-defined functions. But the process of actually figuring out… -
Pipeline without Max
Hi guys! We are planning to start a small project with a team of 4-5 people with UDK or CryEngine 3 if they provide a conveninent licensing option. We cannot afford to buy 3ds Max(or another major app) licenses for every artist(at least 2 artists). So, we are considering a pipeline without Max. Here are the tools I am… -
Autodesk 3ds Max Maxscript: Return vertex index of an object touching another object?
Hello. Before I get complex, I want to break this down in simple terms so anyone who reads this will understand what I'm trying to do. I have two objects in my scene. One object is the mesh of a character, and the other object is just a simple sphere. The sphere model's position is set on a vertex of the player model. I'm… -

Some 3D printing questions related to my model
Hey guys, so I was thinking of making my first 3d print from one of the busts I made and I had some questions I wish someone with some experience in the matter could answer. 1. So from what I know the meshes have to be completely sealed up, but I was wondering if it's necesary to Dynamesh everything together like the… -
Re: Sd.Kfz.182 Pz.Kpfw.VI Ausf.B "Königstiger" (Henschel Turret)
Never a truer comment, I mean to suddenly abandon that which I've had absolute joy modeling and without putting too fine a point on it simply bottled out, basically afraid of the prospect that I'll fail as an artist in terms of not being good enough. So I think over the intervening years I've now attained necessary skills… -
Re: UV-Remap: A New Tool for Rearranging the UVs of Textured Models
Congrats on the tool, reading the title made me think, rearrange-able already baked textures/maps and u.v.'s and reorganizing those somehow, which is the dream for me. (probably impossible, ignore post, tbh just wanted to mention that.) -

Examples of artists who've started later in life and found success?
Apologies in advance for probably being overly-whiny... I'm in a rut right now and really just need to vent and/or hopefully get some reassurance. I know this is going to sound silly because I'm still in my mid-twenties, but I feel as if I've already lost what seems like my biggest chance at breaking through and making a…
