Re: Headus UVLayout VS Autodesk Bonus Tools Auto Unwrap UV Tools
I prefer headus UVLayout over Maya's Bonus Tools Auto Unwrap, although I always recommend the latter one to Maya users. This is mainly for workflow reasons: In headus you can perform cut and weld operations, among others, simply by hovering over the edges and pressing keys. Even with shortcuts inside Maya you still have to… -
Re: Summer Character Workshop - the SwordMaster
Day 5 - Retop base mesh: Today was retopo time! It is a new thing for me to do retop so early in my modelling workflow. It has up until now been almost at the end of it every time. We started out importing the high poly sculpt into our chosen program for retop (we were either in Max or Maya) and then set it up for the… -
Re: When will I give up?
I have read that book...! It's worth reading :) I was also in a similar place with you @lotzoh i was working 9:00-21:00 and didn't have time to do what i loved. I think it is better that you quit one of those 2 jobs to give yourself some time to relax and focus on what you want to do in the future. More times than not, we… -
Re: How much do you think about your audience when creating?
Guess when you like a style and you are applying for jobs at those companies its both. I personally put my goals first. I don't have the urge to be an 'artist'/create 'art', but I enjoy the work that goes into creating realistic characters. You will hardly see me work on props in my spare time nor creating stylized 3d art.… -
Re: Time as Currency for Skill
I like what you said about splitting technical and artistic aspects, I strongly believe in this and was not clear to me earlier on in my learning process. Today, I believe you will get a discount on the time spent to improve if you just, Focus on one thing at a time. Like you mentionned, I agree 100% Take golf for example,… -
Re: WIP League of Legends - Mega Gnar fan art
Hi guys! New progress here, texture is done, except for small tweaks based on feedback if I get some, hehe. Painting almost everything in 3D Coat. I did the AO and Gradient thing with the mesh rotated 30° from its T pose so its more accurate than previous baked maps. I also made the fangs unique (were symmetrical, I mean… -

Re: The legend of Zelda: Majora´s Mask
Overall it's not a terrible piece but there are some serious issues you should fix. I compared your image to this one; And made three areas of focus that stood out to me and detracted from the piece. Stance His stance is just very bland, if you study the reference image you'll notice he's in more of an action pose. His… -
Re: Exiled Shade from Adventures in Purgatory
interesting idea. I think your on the right path with the poly flow of the coat and face so far. The hands dont need that much information in them...i guess im tryin to say remove the cuts in the palm and just make it simple. If your going "next gen" then the normal map will do all the work your trying to do with geo… -
Re: Workshop# 3 - malcolm
Ok, few points here. #1. Uv seams are also limited to resolution in a way, the less resolution you have, the more noticable UV seams will be. This is why uv seams are always real noticable on lower mips. Again if the faces are so small they can barely be represented by pixels, you'll have issues. #2. Your uvs need to be…
