How efficient are alpha maps?
Just a short question: how do you determine when to use alpha maps and when to model something? It's a more easily answered question for next-gen models, but I'm often in doubt with the lowpoly models as are now seen aplenty in the contest section. A lot of people use alpha maps to save polygons, but from what I've… -

Pyr3D.com - How's my portfolio ?

How to avoid saving with copy.
WTF, I used to be able to save over files in photoshop now in CS2 when I record and action to save over my targa file it save with a copy instead of just letting me save over it like I used to.

how high is too high of polycount
Is my model too high of polycount to be animated? Even with normal and displacement maps? I created a model in Zbrush before I realized I want to animate it in maya, so I was not careful at all about the polycount. However, I have retopologized, and seperated the mesh into several different subtools in Zbrush, and so now… -
Re: Art degree: How helpful has it been for you?

Re: Question about continuous meshes for low poly bakes.
That someone was probably me(if not I've said the same/similar things many times). Main benefits: A. Better uv usage. You waste less space having to uv parts of the mesh that are partially/completely occluded, and you can have more continuous uv layouts which are easier to paint on(less uv islands). B. The less unique mesh… -
Where to get/how to make/ detailed 3D model of Everest summit
Hi 3D Pros! I’m looking for an advice where to get or how to make a detailed model of the Mount Everest highest peak. I looked in sketchfab, but from the previews it seemed that the peak is just a couple of planes and no details. I’m thinking like just the top 3-5meters. TIA! -
