Hi guys ! I think I'm going to go for a werewolf/vampire character. It's a farmer that got bitten by something nasty and slowly developed a disease that worsened over time. No matter how he tried to hide it from his wife, it was reading more and more on his face and spent his time alone in the bathroom every night, trying…
Hello, I'm fairly new to modeling and rigging and such. I've taken classes but the polycount dota 2 competition is the first thing i've attempted outside of class and I'm having a problem fake submitting to test the animation with the model. First, the problem I had was that My model said it was only 432 polygons in maya,…
I need someone who is able to take a model created in maya or blender and be able to import it into FaceRig. FaceRig is a program, not the general concept of face rigging. the model WILL be fully rigged, with face, but will need to be imported, there are documentations on their site for this. this will be a full body…
I'm designing my character for a game for Unreal Engine. Games usually have a big FOV (angle of view), such as 90 degrees typically. I set FOV to 90 in UE, Maya. and ZBrush. The perspective in Unreal Engine and Maya is about the same. But much different in ZBrush - it has much less "fish eye" effect. To demonstrate this, I…
If you are keeping the mesh in Maya and aren't modifying it after the fact, you don't need to triangulate. Keep in mind your quad mesh is actually still made up of triangles, the lines joining them are simply hidden and usually re-evaluated whenever you move a vertex, which is the reason behind triangulating them before…
Gave her a pair of glasses, they weren't planned but I followed some suggestions to try to give her some eyewear and I liked the result. She looks like a dork now but I planned to have some poses with the glasses hanging from her shirt. I also gave her a bit extra imperfections on her face to remove the doll skin effect…
That's a wonderful sentiment, but when you know the only reason people will want to hire you is the outcome...well, the outcome becomes very relevant. The act of doing may be the most important when it comes to practice, but without that end result you still won't get very far. Besides, let's face it. There's a lot of…
think of DA, like polycount, as just another facet of an overall online presence strategy. you need your own good clean site as a portfolio. you should post on communities like polycount. having a deviantart page is an easy way to have a place to upload stuff you're working on in a way that's less carefully chosen than a…
I just got back from a business trip there two weeks ago. I had a blast! We ate some things I would never have tried on my own. The most unique was Cow face. They served us a cow skull split in half. The meat was sliced but still attached to the skull. It wasn't bad! Definitely hit up the fake market for the experience…
The big issue for me is the fact that the employees haven't been paid for the last month and don't get any severance. Lost in all the talk about "oh, the employees are talented, they'll land on their feet" is that severance + paying out pto and vacation time is huge for someone to get enough breathing room to be able to…
