I don't understand why you're asking people things you've clearly already decided for yourself. You must have an extremely good understanding of these issues if you're able to tell everyone else they don't understand, so why are you asking? Just to convince yourself of things you've already convinced yourself about? It…
Just finished up Wesley. View on Artstation A skilled hunter for survival. An amateur magic user by necessity. A wanderer, though not by choice. We found Wesley departing the Elderwood and trekking towards the city because, frankly, he had nowhere else to go. His clan in the woodlands had been experiencing...disappearances…
@FreneticPonies agreed, I need to go back and add a little contrast to my base texture. Also I'll be vertex painting in some variance. @RustySpannerz Thanks! And yea I am loosing some of the vibrance. I'm constantly tweaking back and forth, trying to find a way to bring it into reality without loosing any of the magic or…
If Modo would improve it's: 1) Smoothing group support 2) Baking tools (add a cage, etc) It would be an awesome solution for game artists. It still IS a great option but I find I have to combine it with other tools to get work done efficiently. I usually move my pieces into Max to finish off the smoothing and bake out…
There are no magic things. Any traditional art training is very unspecific, extensive and slow advancing. It may take decades actually .Some people do it quicker and easier not because of proper training but rather natural born ability. Only way to learn is to draw something every day. Starting from simple subjects to…
It's a joke about an educational network that runs commercials here. Those commercials are f'n retarded. The only thing worse are the two guys who make video games by sitting on a couch with xbox controllers. But anyways, the question overall should be whether to go for a degree or not. That's a whole different thing. But…
Oh nice! Ironically I've got to create a space ship/drop ship for a uni assignment and am going to be doing the exact same kinds of things that you are doing right now XD. Modelling, nDo2 and everything! A faster way would just be to use the line tool and shape tool in photoshop. Just draw in the lines, you can copy paste.…
In terms of working out, I think you shouldn't go all out, that may be one of your problems. You need to find a balance between where you feel like youre getting a workout but youre not killing yourself in the process. If you can, I'd suggest joining a gym. Working out at home is okay but part of the "magic" for me is…
Like I said before, I don't claim to have the magic bullet answer to all of the issues with the business. I have, however, taken the time to think about doing things differently and I believe that's a good thing. I'm just one guy sitting at a computer sharing what he's learned from other very smart people and I can't solve…
It is so painful to use the text tool in Maya lol. I can't begin to guess why it hasn't been upgraded since so many versions ago. There's definitely no magic trick though, but you'll sweat for it ahah I usually get the text I need as a polysurface, get into edge mode and select all the edges of a letter and delete them.…
