Re: Polycount Update - BUGS & SUGGESTIONS
@adam Some thoughts on the 'sticky' OP, I think it could use a splash of color along the footer maybe just a 3px green border at the bottom, so you know it's ended and user posts begin/resume. I'm foreseeing lots of massive posts that you might start skipping through as they get added to (because it's filled with old… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | June 2014 | Techno Vikings
Basically rebuilt everything up to this point. Not happy once again and I feel like I'm running a circle. Will see where this goes in the next day or two. @klown: Really nice man. Really like the cloth pulling and how that's sculpted. @dimfist: Really like the current build man. I'd say your pants could use some more love.… -
Re: Team Robo WiP
I really like what you've got so far. My critique would be that I would say to maybe look at the proportions and shape that you have right now if you're going to be trying to go directly from the concept. I would do an overlay and try to adjust the shape accordingly. Right now it looks like the top is a bit too flat, the… -
Re: Wall E
It only counts as spare time if you have a life! : D Model looks good, though you have kept all the details pretty small, if I were you i would bump up some of those shapes so you justify adding them in the lowpoly and getting some nice mid-detail shapes in there. Like the circle-indent-thingy on the side, make that bigger… -
Re: How do you make animated textures in 3dsmax?
Usually rain effects would be done with particles. Both the rain drops, and the circle ripples. You can do particles in realtime in 3ds Max. You can also do a video texture in a shader if you make a sprite sheet, and use the shader to offset the UVs, swapping the images one by one. What a sprite sheet looks like: If you… -
Re: Texture stretching :/
There is stretching, just not noticeable enough to be a problem. You can just model your circle, and then while unwrapping it make sure you have a straight strip, pretty quick if you have some good UV alignement tools. You can also do it the other way around, map your texture on a rectangular bit with subdivisions, then… -
Re: Final Fantasy X and X-2 model viewer

Re: Discussing issues at work, grounds for firing?
Discussing salary with fellow workmates empowers the working staff. Making it a taboo subject only gives the employer all the leverage. I, personally have no problem discussing my salary with employees in my circle. There are those who arent comfortable discussing it in public and that's perfectly normal. You have to know… -
Re: How do I efficiently retopologize a character like this?
Retopo considerations: the leather straps are going to stay in place during animations, so there are two approaches 1) no backsides. Straps welded to the body, so the chest would need connecting edges. 2) backsides. Straps are not welded to body. However the body should still have edges corresponding to the strap backs, so… -
Maya Beginner - Normal map horrors

I've baked my set of maps from my high poly model. everything seems to be ok until i apply the normal map (i'm basically following a video tutorial at this stage) when i apply the map my model goes SUPER contrasty like it's been…
