Re: Specializing or not ?
I'd agree with that list, if it's film I would put Nuke in there as well as Mari, picking up a little bit of scripting will help you out too, something broad like Python. It's important to focus on the texturing side while knowing and continuing to learn the basics of the other programs. Things like UV'ing, SubD and file… -
Re: What treatment does Crazybump apply to displacement map ?
Wait, are you talking about using basic tools/filters in photoshop to get the same result, or writing custom plugins for photoshop to do the same algorithms? Obviously, if you're talking plugins, you can sell those too. My point was that the OP is unlikely to set up a script or action using basic tools/features in… -
Re: Splash Damage art test, too
Small update. Adjusted the levels of the AO I think it looks much better. Fixed the normals. (I had to learn some how..usually the hard way) I may have a dew small tweaks left but I plan to move to base color and textures next. As always crits welcome :) (Yeah the sizes of the screen grabs are huge...playing with the… -
Re: Need some advice on a new work laptop
http://www.msimobile.com/level2_productlist.aspx?id=6 I've got one of the MSI GS70 laptops. I use it for teaching game art and animation. I recommend MSI pretty highly. There are only a couple of issues for me. There is no Windows key on the left side. (Which I use a lot.) The Home and End keys are FN buttons. (But I just… -
Re: Robert Rodriguez's Predators
Oh, I wouldn't go THAT far. This movie wasn't great, but it wasn't the same kind of train-wreck that the Transformers movies were. (especially the 2nd one) Probably the biggest problem I saw was that it lacked structure. The script almost seemed like a lot of it was being improvised by the actors. Action movies live or die… -
Re: [MAX] Align vertex to plane or curve
ahh damn I lost track of it but there was a thread a while back about aligning verts along a curved surface I think You can't do it in max by itself. Also I remember a script on scriptspot that would align verts, I think IllusionCatalyst also has something like that... I don't have time to search but if you hunt around in… -
Re: Physique to Skin Modfier
That is probably the easiest method, although I would then save out the skin weights and load them into the original mesh/rig, the FBX export/import might bork your skeleton in some weird ways. You can also use monsters skin2physique script, but there might be a reason he didn't mention it... You can also copy your mesh,… -
Re: What do you do besides 3d ?
@Spag_Eddy, Good luck with your endeavor! I've seen a lot of folks (even with kids!) jump in later in life and were able to build successful careers. As for me, turning 37 next month. Worked as Character Artist / 3d Modeler for a number of years and eventually transitioned over to Technical Art. Found myself really… -
Re: Beretta 87 Lets "Wrap" this up.
There's a few ways, the first being to FFD it into the rough shape then boolean it and extrude the edges into the mesh. Another similar way would be to do that but using Slideknit rather than FFD for the form then boolean it once again.… -
Re: 3ds max 2012 running slow while doing simple operations
System specs? Scene specs? Lots of separate objects with low poly counts or one giant object with a lot of polys? Crazy complex materials? Are you using Slate or the regular material editor? Do you have a lot of materials sitting around in the material editor(s)? Is the texture resolution in the viewport cranked up pretty…
