Bungie had a pretty cool talk about their hair production pipeline and tools at the last Siggraph, and they've finally put up their slides for it: http://advances.realtimerendering.com/destiny/siggraph2014/heads/index.html It's worth a look for anyone interested in trying to speed up hair production. The powerpoint file…
Thanks for the comment Matt! Its based on a concept by Yao Wang: https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/019/757/288/large/yao-wang-e08633bd-82d9-4888-9a79-514c8f64c45b.jpg?1564893262 I'm not copying 1 to 1 but most of the stuff its there. You might be right on the value issue but its also being affected by…
There is the copy and paste UV function inside the UV editor. If the shells are the same then you can select the UV you which to stack and hit copy then select the UV you wish to stack it on top of and hit paste. This functionality has gotten better in the later versions of Max particularly 2017 and up. Another method…
I used 3DMotive back then. Their tutorials helped a lot. Never tried out Pluralsight or GAI's Environment Bootcamp. I did sign up for Josh Lynch's Substance Designer Mentorship, back in December 2017, through my work. There's really no right way to do it, because any avenue you choose can easily help you out. You're…
Alright, this will be my last message over this topic. I will open a new thread because I already changed it's name to ToolSeq UD and there are multiple scripts combined in that name. You will be able to watch updates in there. I got good news. Version 1.0.7 is technically done and fully ready for Maya 2017. I bought a…
thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. The background is indeed an HDRI sky sphere, mainly because I had no idea what to do with the background. What would you suggest doing instead? Could you recommend me some links potentially? this is entirely rendered in Arnold, using Maya 2017. I can post a wireframe and…
I just bought a GTX 560 TI on amazon for $249 for our desktop.

first off, i like the concept. Mum-Ra meets Soul Caliber feel to it. As the previous posts said, there are issues with your anatomy, check out some anatomy resources on the web or at your schools library to get some muscle refrences, this will help you immensely in the long run. http://www.bartleby.com/107/ would be a…
I just realised i made a typo. Texturegroup should have been LODGroup :P I can really see any other solution to this apart from playing around with the compression settings. AFAIK this is a good as they get as the lod size for UI is 4k. As you suggested before, you save from doing this step a ton of time, you can change…
I'll just be generally posting animations that I've done for feedback and critic etc. * First one is a shot I'm developing on with someone, let me know what you think! * https://syncsketch.com/playground/120795ebdcea4e21bed4c819240f16a0#15309 * (The eyes and mouth/tongue didnt render :( since this was a production test it…
