Re: Portfolio Critiques and Advice
I was just suggesting more bounce light in some of the shots, was n't really being critical of the overall mood. Even dark shadows can pick out detail as long as they are not totally black.

Re: Getting better quality masks?
you can detect angles in shader in your engine to select for edges. Its probably possible to multiply a noise on top of that to break it up and look more natural.

Re: 3dcoat seems superior to zbrush in every way?
Sadly there is no material /texture software that I would consider convenient. All them are monstrously terrible IMO. You can just tolerate one while other feels intolerable. 3d coat had been tolerable for some time but then stopped to be such . I switched to Painter and hated it no less. All it's non-destructiveness is… -
Freelancers versus outsource studio?
How does a studio decide between hiring employee versus freelancer versus outsource studio? Suppose this example: Need to create 30 unique characters, AA quality in realism style.
