Some of us have had the chance to learn from some really great mentors. They say things to us that sometimes slap us upside the head and other times go completely over it. I figured I would share some that I thought were really profound and maybe spread some thoughts and knowledge all while building a nice list (mostly… -
Sketchbook: vinn
Hello everyone. A couple days ago, a friend urged me to make a sketchbook on polycount so here I am. I am a 19 year old student living in Canada. I attend a game art course in September 2011. I've never touched 3D before. I tried really hard. I hope I learned something. Because my demo reel is due in a few months. Aaaah.… -
Holiday Travel Fun/Rant
I know some of you are traveling this holiday. People are stressed, their schedules are getting mixed up, they have hyper-active children tagging along, or perhaps the american school system never properly instructed them on how to friggin operate turn signals. Be safe out there, and be prepared. My first of two holiday… -
Re: fryrender study and questions
Your fryrender render is blurry because the depth of field is very shallow. Try changing the focus distance of the render camera so that it focuses on the object, or see if you can increase the aperture (f-stop) EDIT: It looks like the camera is already focused on the object, from what i see the side knobs are perfectly in… -
Re: sculpting welding marks?
http://polycount.com/discussion/169621/tutorial-how-to-do-blends-and-welding-seams I saw this awhile back. What is interesting though is he has a way to mask out and re do parts where you have stopped and restarted the stroke, but you actually get something similar to this effect when you stop mid way through a weld in… -
Re: Alt tabbing via code from maya
Quick note that I forgot to mention. The script will stop will stop and wait for the program to close. So, in the case of Photoshop, you would have to quit out of Photoshop in order to resume with the Python script in Maya (and possibly interacting in Maya too). Subprocess will also give you the exit code of the program (0… -
Re: 3ds Max 2016
I would get some clarity on that. Because, there is a period of time after a maintenance subscription stops that you can just renew and get back on. But if that time elapses and you don't renew, then that's it, you have to buy a new seat if you want the latest version. And Autodesk have now stopped upgrades, so you can't… -
Re: Balamb Garden from Final Fantasy VIII
When you enter the half circle there's a rectangular blockage ahead of you. This stops the composition. If you look at the "floor plan" posted above, there's a reason they placed a semi-circle shape on the floor (it emphasized the semi-circle of the wall). Your design does the opposite. It would be nice to see that… -
Re: New Years Resolutions - 2015
1. Stop lurking and actually post on polycount for feedback. 2. Really dig in and study human anatomy 3. Learn UE4 4. Find some type of physical exercise and stop blobbing around 5. Draw in some capacity every day and develop the discipline to do it no matter the circumstances 6. Move out and get my own place 7. Adopt more… -
Re: Portal for free!
That's something I've been wondering too... The page isn't very clear. I wouldn't think Valve would stop allowing people who download it to play after the 24th though. That just doesn't seem like something they'd do. I also would think they'd say something about TRYING Portal if they were going to stop it but it says…
