Re: Iron Man 2 - Trailer 2

I think there has also been a trend where trailers a cut extremely well and DONT give away any of the plot points. prime examples being Iron man 2 and Clash of the Titans, the… -
Re: Reinventing the wheel
we're talking about an 8 sided cylinder(or less), which you're most likely going to be using for rivets and bolts and other tiny stuff that wont have a noticeable impact on the silhouette unless, like you said, its a really low poly asset. I'm not against using it, it's just that your first example is really specific... if… -
Re: Interview Advice
I dont know, I think what he said about providing examples and giving results is a good idea, that way it makes it sound like your talking about your real life experiences instead of just saying things you know will sound good. It is one thing to say "oh yeah I'm good working with people" or you could actually give an… -
Re: Suggestive practice modelling subjects
You should always try and push yourself outside of your comfort zone so that you can learn and improve.

Best tools inside of Maya to use when creating character LOD's and maintaining UV's
I've been messing around lately with LOD's and my main problem at the moment is being able to maintain normal map information on the lower LODs shared UV's. I've noticed that when optimising using the target weld option effects how the normal map look on the LOD, for example sometimes it creates artefacts, where as,… -
