So it's Tuesday, and there are some things you should see. Things that will get you a head in life. AHAHA. Find out what they are (and what the pun was for), after the jump... Boskmaniac Well, for starters there's this demo reel that Jelmer Boskma has put together for 2010. He used to be cool... he used to be a…
Took me a time to figure out terminology. So the skinning means i need to use some blender rig tool if i understand correctly.And cards you mentioned is just flat polygon loop for feathers. Hope i understand it right.Thanks a lot for a hint!
did some refining on the hair to give myself a better idea of what the flow and direction of the hair should be. had some cool references of victorian / gothic hairstyles as reference and it amazes me how people got their hair up like this lol. it's a gorgeous look!!
Because most of the tools I use in my workout to make planets like those : Is based on equirectangular maps , also Nasa source images are like so , I would like to find a tool or a workflow to turn dual paraboloid into rectangular, rework and then turn back to dual paraboloid. If no tools are available, which to me seems…
I spent all weekend doing the retopology of the pilot. It's my first time in years (and second time overall) doing topology for a full figure. It turns out that 3ds Max does in fact have pretty good topology tools that I didn't know about - they're hidden in another part of the interface. I made a few errors during this…

If you do the relax tool a little bit and then…

I have the feeling that no matter which 3D software you use, the grass is always greener on the other side I think. If Id start something new Id go with Modo tho, I have no clue but seems like they have everything and its on a good modern foundation that has future. Blender 2.8 also looks very cool but I assume the UI is…
This has bugged me for a while too. I generally find Cryengine and even Source engine to have a crisper more realistic look. Having Worked with UE3 for years now, I am growing very dissatisfied with the lighting and rendering tools. I'm very eagerly waiting for UE4, which I believe will move away from this. I think the…
