Slipsius, I don't think polycount users tend to be misogynistic, but there's a strong undercurrent of mild sexism in polycount posts. Again, this is largely a product of a 'boys club' environment, and I can't imagine any of us guys would be dicks to women based on their gender, but little subtle things seep into the…
Listened to a full 2 hour one today. The latest, #23. Feedback: Trim the fat. I listened hoping to hear you guys talk about art. And you did, but there's a lot of bullshitting in there I didn't care about. I nearly stopped after the first 20 minutes since it had taken so long to get to an art subject. Aimless banter is…
I think it comes back down to the question of which position in the industry you want to work with. Environmental design is a mostly art related job and the oculus rift is designed for changing gameplay experiences, therefore they aren't really compatible. It goes back to the whole idea of doing projects with a realistic…
I treat my freelancing (been at it for 6 years) as a regular full-time job, with the caveat that I need at times to work late, or conform my schedule to the client if they're living in an opposite time zone. I make myself available if the client needs to communicate after hours. If I don't have a paying gig I force myself…
haha, well there's certainly an element of truth to it. i'm sure that people do genuinely suffer from an inability to focus, however i'm also sure that this stems from upbringing and self discipline more than actual medical reasons. ANY child will lose interest in a subject quickly, it happens, it's just the way life is.…
Dude, so you're saying that making game is a piece of cake?..making 3d models and textures and rig and coding and everything is doable with only yourself? UDK with all the properties and kismet and physics and particles are simple enough to understand?...unless you are a super genius then sorry I don't trust you with that.…
Betobetosan べとべとさん Translation: from the sound of footsteps Betobeto-San is a yôkai that follows travellers at night, making the sound "beto beto" with its wooden sandals. It cannot be seen; only heard. People who walk the streets alone at night might encounter these harmless, but nonetheless disturbing, yōkai. They…
I'm making character hair using cards. The tutorial I'm following is doing this in maya while I'm on max. The author did two steps that seems to be rather maya specific, wonder if anyone could help locating the same functionality on max. First thing he did was making cards that are 6 polies behave like it was quite…
sculpt is nice, but The texturing is noisy and very generic all over, as if you just threw masks/color on to everything to act the same. I would make the edges lighter then the planar faces. Add a small gradient from bottom to top and also make sure that the faces that are faced more toward the sun, is more bleached. So…
This got me started so quick with Subsatnce Designer texturing. I actually like using add/sub instead of the copy mode for the blend to not alter the base values as much but ya. I'll add, once you get used to Substance Designer, it's really fun and quick to use. I find myself waiting on DDO a lot to do stuff instead of…
