What he means is that the quadsphere at that step isn't perfectly round, its close but it's not prefect. He is using Maya so he takes a slightly different approach to round it out. This is one area where 3dsmax makes this process much easier. Since you are using 3dsmax, you can drop a "Spherify" modifier on top of your…
Hey mates, I always wondered. But don't forget I am not from an art background. When people make characters, especially females, they just can't stop but almost exeggerate the ribcage. It almost seems to turned it into a fetish at this point, or at least it seems to me. I can literally count the ribs on a model by just…
there simply aren't enough positions for the amount of artists wanting in, which creates a breeding ground for bad working conditions and low wages. It's been this way since.... like 2008, only now are we really seeing the apex of a lack of future-proofing. The sooner people realize this, step out of their comfort zone,…
My thoughts: 1. win XP 32 is almost dead(near complete EoL). On the other hand it cannot support more than 3,5Gb of RAM(with dirty tricks). x64 is superior in all the aspects. Vista also offers DX10 and video memory virtualization(which is VERY important when dealing with big meshes... and xp64 cannot do this). Some shops…
Has anyone tried it? I've been waiting eagerly for this; I prefer working on my iPad whenever I can, and I've been searching for a good alternative to my stagnant perpetual license of ZBrush that'll likely stop working at some point. I'm disappointed they did go the subscription route, but it isn't at all surprising and…
I would stop with the long thin strips, go for more square poly/even distribution. think about the silhouette and try to be minimal in capturing the look. think about the wasted loops where nothing is defined adding extra lengthways loops
Hi. I need to start doing 3d modeling because in Vancouver Film School I need a strong portfolio to get into the 3D Animation & Visual Effects Program. If i don't have a strng portfolio, I would need to go to the Foundation Program(Basically its a prep program) and it cost $19,000. On top of that, the actualy prgoram cost…
I'd say anything that is reusing a lot designer is king to build the trim sheets or tilables. Any unique asset will profit from sculpting. That being said, nobody is stopping you from using designer generators, textures etc to texture your uniquely sculpted mesh
Long time no update! Part of my entry to the Throne Room competition will be what are essentially blog posts with lots of images. As I'm working through this project, I want to document everything-from my idea phase all the way to my final project's presentation. Considering my project is a bit more abstract and will rely…
