How should I Practice Art as a 15 year old?
Hello! For some background: I'm a student (recently turned 15 years old) in Ontario who just joined high school grade 9 nearly 6 months ago. After just becoming really fascinated by Artstation work, I decided, about 8 months ago, that I wanted to work to become a professional artist (currently interested in both 2D and 3D)… -
DirectX 11 tesselation and floating geometry in high poly models
Hi! I was thinking about this yesterday. Now with real time tesselation available, we can use displacement maps in our materials. Floating geometry is not a problem for normal maps since the normals don't change if some floating high poly geometry is above(not too much of course) the base high poly geometry. Now that… -

Re: Polystein Kit for MODO
Polystein Kit | Week in Review This has been an amazing week for the Pushing Points Polystein Kit and I thought I'd do a recap to ensure no one (that's interested) missed anything. Earlier this week a new version of the kit was released. You can read about it here:… -
Re: How is it to work in the industry?
Still young in this industry (1.5 years in triple A, 2.5 years overall) for me. Overall I love it. I like learning new things and being challenged, there's pretty much no shortage of either in this industry. I think it's a very very specific kind of job, you either like it or not. But if you do, you really do. Relating to… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
They do have a lot to do with each other, but I think you misunderstand the differentiation I'm making. This has actually been discussed with visuals somewhere, but I can't remember where at the moment. Consider the fact that the metalness workflow in games functions by, in a single shader sample, lerping between a ~1.5… -
Re: 3ds Max Error
By default, Windows manages the pagefile size automatically. Most of the time this will work, but not always. If you want to check on your pagefile, I can give you instructions for Win 7 -- older or newer versions will use slightly different methods. I'm going to generalize some of this so that people from the future with… -
Re: Human Character Pipeline
I have moved on to facial blend shapes, which i have found to be pretty quick and easy to do with the correct tools. By using a combination of ZBrush and it's GoZ feature to Maya, I was able to produce and export the initial 17 facial blend shapes with the click of a button! My process in ZBrush was to create a layer (for… -
Re: UDK-Swirling particles, how?
Hey Nielsen I was able to get the particles to start swirling, it just requires some further tweaks to the values in both attractors. Let me just explain it a bit so that you can get yours going: 1. Start with a basic particle emitter. I deleted the velocity on mine but you can keep it if you want to affect those…
