Re: Pipeline workflow with Modo 601 and UDK please help!
Glad you got it working. I've started writing up a sort-of tutorial for setting up Modo for game art work, which so far covers: Setting up pipelineIO (inc. setting hard edges by uv borders in modo) exploding a mesh creating a cage basic form and input editor stuff Baking selection/colour maps baking diffuse info (Possibly… -
Re: Seek Professional Opinion for Environment Artist Career Decision
@JeremyJDickes - You should definitely give this a listen: Should You Go To School - What Nobody Tells You. At the end of the day, you should have a discussion with your son about this passion and whether he understands the opportunity cost of going to school for a degree in game art. Particularly when you consider how… -
Re: Vertex color and performance
Thanks a lot for your input guys. @Xoliul Ok, that makes sense that what matters more in the end is the material complexity rather then the actual vertex color data. @jeffro Instance was maybe the wrong term to use. I was just trying to diffrentiate between when the vertex color data is exported and saved in the model… -
Re: Veterans and Aspiring: What does your dream Game Art degree look like?
i completely agree, Garbage. My first real programming experience was in action script 3. And then recently I started learning python for tool creation / rigging help. I found it an easy transition.

Re: smoothing groups on maya ?
Hi, your hard surface workflow is obsolete, now artists use the rounded edge shader (aka bevel shader) of Blender Cycles 2.79.1+ (free) or Modo, VRay, Houdini and Redshift because it works with every topology so you can use substract booleans modifiers everywhere and it works great with text too. The meshes gets rounded… -
Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
Oh, and to actually contribute to the thread: I'm someone who kindof publicly/obviously struggles with balancing art in my life. I by no means have this down to a science, but here's what gets me results: * Immerse yourself in things you find inspiring. I try to consume media based on what's impressive to me more than just…
