Question about Face Weighted Normals in Maya
Hello, I recently learned about face weighted normals and just wanted to get some clarification on how they are applied in Maya. My current understanding is that Maya versions after 2012 apply face weighted normals by default on everything. So all I would need to do is add bevels and soften the edges. Is this correct or is… -
Re: Yury Taran – Senior 3D Character Artist | Portfolio & WIPs
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, really appreciate it. Good point about the overuse of grunge - I agree it can read too uniform and artificial, especially on the materials and wear patterns.

AI Usage in Indie Games
Hi all, Not sure if this is the right spot for this sort of discussion, but I’ve been curious about the use of AI for indie devs especially given recent articles about key games winning or being disqualified for using generative AI.

Re: How do you join a textured and retopologised head to a body mesh?
Well ... to some extent you've pretty much answered your own question already : you get the output from Wrap, then attach it to whatever body you need it to be attached to (either by actually welding verts, or by just manipulating normals at the edges to make things visually seamless).

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?

Something about the semi-informal moderation with community members policing… -

Re: Sketchbook: stray
I've applied the rig to the actual model, changed some anatomy and did clothes retopo. ...Now I think the arms proportions are broken :o Everything about them just looks WEIRD. Did I misplace the elbow or the wrist joint? What's going on? I can't tell anymore... If someone with a pair of fresh eyes sees it, I could really… -

Looking for good books about VFX/CGI
Hey Guys, For my family it has become a tradition to give away books on Christmas, ever since we all became adults. This year we are planning on having presents not for specific people, but something everyone could be interested in. This year I also got my first Job in the VFX Industry as a 3D modeller in a big VFX Studio.… -
Don't Use AI for Replies
Hi there! This came up recently in a couple places here on the forums, so it makes sense for us to make a clear policy on the use of AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and the like. Let us know what you think about this. Your thoughts matter, since in the end the contents of these forums are purely built by all of…
