Re: Which software do you love the most to work with (for whatever reason)?
I hesitate between Akeytsu and 3D-Coat, both for their intuitive/efficient/"hey, I almost never crash guys!", side. These softs works in two distinct fields of course, but to me it's their philosophy that's "magical ♥", and which makes them great to use all day long. These are part of the kind of software that you are… -
Re: [WIP] GWR 1400 Class Auto tank.
I hit my first major milestone yesterday which is getting the exterior modelling completed. So here's some renders of the finished model: Model is currently sitting at 96k tris, which is great! Gives me a little bit of wiggle room when I comes to the interior mesh which will be similar in tri-count but if needs be I do… -
Re: How do you motivate yourself?
Oh, I definitely try to stay away from the computer-- especially during the week-- after I've spent so much time in front of a monitor all day. But that usually ends up with me sitting on the couch with the wife watching Netflix, or playing 360. Then the weekend comes and while I keep telling myself "okay! Now I'm going to… -
Re: Steroid pumped punk
You asked for crits in your first post, then blow off the first crits you get with "it's stylized"? That's not gonna get you very far. Harsh crits ahead, beware. We can tell it's stylized, and we can also tell it looks very wrong. n88tr's comments about it being too uniform, and having blobby facial features are true,… -
Re: Modo: Steam Edition
I suppose you don't use modo... Well, for example... Modo is not very good for normal maps, nor for game art, nor for sculpting, nor for painting... is horrible/very basic at those aspects. I could say too many negative aspects but it's not the proper thread :) . I have been using this app since version 1, like silo or… -
Re: US Gov Sues The Art Institutes
I went to AI Seattle, back in the early-mid 2000's when the industry was booming and the big deal was having a degree to get your foot into the job field (something I now know to be bullshit, but EVERYBODY told my 19-year-old self that). I had some good teachers and some bad teachers, and lots of well-meaning and competent… -
Re: Texturing dilemma...
Whatever works the best for whatever you're particularly doing. Of course it's great to be able to do both well. One thing to possibly keep in mind when working professionally (not portfolioly) is that there are things like production costs and time constraints, so it's best to work smart. (IE, I could manually spend time… -
Re: Hello! I'm stuck making a hard surface model.
Next year? That's a tough one, but I'll try. I would like to have a better understanding of high poly to low poly workflows, workflows that involve using both ZBrush and 3dsMax/Maya, since I really enjoy the creative freedom that ZBrush provides. I want to learn how to make proper normal, AO, Diffuse and specular maps. I… -
Re: Want to learn Substance, a few questions.
I'll try to answer to the best of my knowledge, I've been practicing SD on my free time, and a bit at work. 1 : Both workflows have their values, the main advantage of using a full substance workflow would be the customization. Let's say you're making a brick wall, if you're using a full substance workflow, and once you… -
Re: Couch & Ottoman.
I haven't looked at your portfolio yet but I'm assuming you're a beginner at 3D (which I could be completely wrong so don't take it like I'm talking down to you). A good way to check for scale is to take a proportioned low poly human model and stick him in your scene. For some people, a simple sphere sitting atop a…
