Best render settings in Maya?
Hey everyone, I'm preparing my models for an interview and was wondering what's the best way to render in Maya for characters? I like what my models look like with default lighting turned off, is there a way to do this for rendering? Also I've tried AO, but I get an error: // Error: [MentalRay Baking Setup]:… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
The Collectors were to build a human Reaper, that would replace Sovereign and attack the Citadel and activate the mass relay to dark space. It was also their purpose to collect enough specimens of all the advanced species to determine which is the most suitable to build a Reaper from. Then the Reapers would have complete… -
Re: Renewed updated portfolio
Many thanks for the helpfull feedback guys. I have been making some modification after reading it. @chimp the demoreel should be more visible now ;) @chimp and bagelhero, I followed your advices about the thumbnail. I was thinking about it for a few minutes and came to the same conclusion as you. Those thumbnails are weird… -
Re: interesting TED talk on creativity
I totally get what she's talking about and it's nice to hear some of the feelings I've had be realized and talked about. I've felt like this, and I do feel like it every day, and I couldn't really validate and verbalize it all until I listened to this. I don't mean to sound soft or mushy or anything, but wow, I feel better… -
Re: The Twilight Sepulchrum
@Fenyce I can see what you mean about the water damage look. I have a part of the material that adds AO to the edges of the area that's been damaged so I'll see about toning that down. I agree about the edges of that trim it just kinda hits the side of the next part and ends too abruptly. If I can get DX11 working again… -
Re: Character artist vs. Animator

Understanding UE5 and workflow
Ive been using UE4 for some years now and just about to start a new project in UE5. The one thing Im confused about is people say "take models right from ZBrush into UE5" - but what about the whole texturing step? Am I really UVing a 2 million polygon mesh from ZBrush and texturing it in Substance? I guess Im just confused… -
Re: [Portfolio] Eric Topf, Environment/Prop Artist
I just skimmed through most of the responses, but got to say something. I love your mailbox, street light, and fire hydrante, But what did you do behind it with that wall? You spent time on the assets' textures but, aborted a obvious tiling texture onto the wall to help the assets looks better? Trying to be funny but, come… -
Re: What's happening here and is this common practise...?
The thing about the angling of the pieces is that both approaches are perfectly valid and are not mutually exclusive. The lecturer mentioned that it can be best to lay things straight for all kind of valid reasons ; and the artists at ID did things the way they did on this hellknight model also for all kinds of valid…
