Re: Quixel releases Megascans!
First of all, good job, guys! Finally it's out. And it looks good. But you can improve it even more. Here's some problems/questions I've encountered: 1. No clear comparison between subcription plans. • Does Hobby/Freelancer/Indie provide 32 bit displacement? I can find info only for Freelancer. • Does… -
Re: Making a game. :0
My 2 Cents is to start SMALL very SMALL and then work your way up to a big game. I have seen to many people and to many MOD shoot for the stars only to wind up on the launch pad with a broken rocket. I would suggest that you make first make maps for Unreal(Any of the Unreal Tournaments have an editor it think) or Never… -
Re: Quick rigging question
K going to throw this right at the start. But I have 0 rigging/messing with node experience. So tried doing what Wrath mentioned and think its what he said.

Re: does voting matter in the US?
So far Washington State is the only state that doesn't mandate that you pick a party and stick to it while voting in the primaries. Which means 49 of the 50 states when people go to vote in primaries they are locked to 1 party for selection. I fail to see how that offers more choices when you're stuck picking red OR blue.… -

Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | November 2014 | the Martial Artist
Let's all have some fun with this :) I will start off with just doing this as a bust. The goal I have for this month is ... 1. No basemesh. I used someone else's basemesh for my last 2 pieces. So this time I want to start from scratch. 2. Nice hair planes. Like, really really nice hair planes. -
Re: Switching to Zbrush
I found the 2-3 hours I'd invest in the ZBrush DVD's were well worth it, they save so much time. I used the ZBrush 2 when learning it for the first time, and ZBrush 3 when I had to learn how to use it for my last job. I used Digital Tutors, but Gnomon is probably the same.
