I got quite frustrated doing and redoing the leg. I never quite get the knees right, and when they're wrong, it messes the whole thing up. I probably need to do some isolated studies of the knees by themselves. So, in order to be productive while being stuck on that, I did the arms in my free time today. Right hand side is…
I'm looking for help figuring out "Bake To Texture" (BTT) in Arnold for Maya. From the look of things it ignores the global render settings you set and so the result is very different. The only control you have in BTT is "camera AA". Taht means it ignores ray bounce settings and diffuse/specular/transmission samples for…
Wow... Thanks guys! Really glad you like it! teaandcigarettes - I really wish I had been given more time to do angled pieces. I had to meet a dead line and was only required to create a certain number of pieces. So anything extra was at my own expense. I do agree though that everything is a bit too square feeling. Though…
Yes it's not a rule, but just matching aesthetics without a clear purpose seems a good way to waste time, or simply train in modeling.. yes you may get "happy accidents" but still you should have a clear idea in mind even if you start the exploration part with modeling directly (maybe you can't draw)... and the research…
It's a bit of a pain, but you need to do two things, save/load the settings and copy some files. First copy the files... Personal files can be found in 2 places you need to trasfer the Scripts, UI, Plug-Ins and Scenes folders from each spot to the same places on the other machine: 3dsmax Root Dir: C:\Program…
"The man likes to play chess; let's get him some rocks. " it may be a hard one by that, but ive watched this movie 9 times or more. cant get tired of it. I might post an image in a bit.
I use 3ds Max 2014 and ive been getting weird glitches in my scene (vertices exploding off screen when I apply a turbosmooth modifier, and crashes when I use some edit poly functions) I just restarted for like the 5th time, and suddenly all my UI settings are gone. Keybinds, modifier sets, Utilities menu all reset to…
Hey all Just wanted to post this wip up here and get some feedback from you all. Its the one thing Rikis missing I think.. a ninja/shinobi outfit. let me know what you think !? Its about 40% of the way through modeling/texturing. Thanks :)
Hi polycounters :) . I love this community. I fell in love with game art a few years ago and did a bunch of ugly lowpoly characters, but while I was getting older (I'm 23) and having to get a job and think about a career path, I think the attitude to get shit done started be drained from me. I have read lots of threads…
Started working on mount for Luna set. Not entirely sure if I want to make a full set or just release it as a solo item but we'll see what happens once i'm done with the mount. Still got a couple things to add and then polish but here's a work in progress shot of where I ended up today.
