Maya LT vs. Blender (and some other questions too)
Hello, I own Blender, Zbrush, and most recently Substance Painter. I am considering purchasing Maya LT because I am not made of money and buying Maya proper is way too expensive. I'm not here to ask if Maya or Maya LT is better than blender. What I'm curious about is... is Maya LT sufficient enough to handle everything I… -

Re: Setting up floaters and baking Ambient Occlusion
Is there some reason people aren't using anything that can take the normal map and generate an AO from that? or am i missing something? if you need a free AO baker XNormal is still useful for this even in the tools section or options section (i forget) the heightmap section if it doesn't have an AO option the Height one… -
Re: [WIP] GWR 1400 Class Auto tank.
I've finally got around to throwing some dirt on to this thing. I've also found a nice way of getting a paint brush stroke effect using some of the filters in Substance Painter, which are subtle but give a really nice close up detail. Along with this I've added a slight normal warping to the sides, which give's the metal… -
Re: Vertex paint modifier in max is blending colors.

Re: Future of 3d modeling and texturing
any job that is going to be destroyed by AI in the future will have a long enough window of time for those people to see it coming and adapt. Those that refuse to will simply get steamrolled in the process. this happened when normal maps and highpoly workflows became more common in the ps3 era, especially in vancouver, a… -
Re: A question about retopology, high poly characters and low poly ones...
That is a really good point. If you have a character with a costume it helps to break the figure down Into what substance painter calls sets. You can use the same strategy with any baking package. The advantage with substance is you can have your separate meshes in one document if they are named correctly. What determines… -
