Question - Photography - Some kind of Wikia?
Hey to all, sorry about the thread if it's the wrong section, have pity on me :poly136: Anyhow, I was curious if anyone had some kind of advice as to where I can find more information about photography short of buying magazines every month. I have been trying to take pictures with my camera (D80 Nikon) and have been having… -

Thru the years, I purchased a couple programs on Steam. good point(s) where Steam does an excellent job for Software users on that platform:* I like that Steam makes moving to another PC and opening up your software generally easy. some pain points: * setting up Steam to prevent unwanted popups or other distractions from… -
3DS Max How to bind a skeleton to a biped
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Hey all, In this video https://youtu.be/rQqjPZNRLv8?t=16m20s Frank talks about how he binds a skeleton to a biped so that he can take advantage of biped's ability to import mocap data and having everything seamlessly work in-engine (UDK). I'm trying to figure out how he bound the two skeletons together. I remember… -

Biplane CR.42 Falco for Games – Hard Surface WIP / Looking for workflow advice
Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and also share a project I’m currently working on. I’m Dan , a self-taught hard surface 3D artist, and over time I’ve mainly focused on modeling props for games. Most of my experience comes from the more traditional low poly / high poly / bake workflow, especially for smaller… -
Re: How would you sculpt this kind of detail in ZBrush?
Basically you would have two normal maps, one baked from your high poly (no ornaments) and another that you create using nDo (just the clean shapes of the ornamental design work). nDo has an overlay tool that will combine the two. Of course, this is moot if you're just focusing on the high poly for this project. EDIT: I… -
Re: FORKLIFT
Ugh, unfortunately the bullshit detector was right. :( https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/vehicle/industrial-vehicle/komatsu-fh50-dirty Sure, you'll get a portfolio finished in record time, but then someone hires you to model something, and you can't find it online already... what happens then? They'll see through your… -
Re: Hand Anatomy - Looking for tips & crits
Yeah, the silhouette should give a good definition of what you are looking at. I think in Zbrush there is actually a material you can use that blackens the tool completely so you can observe only the silhouette. Keeping focus on the silhouette as you spin around from all angles is going to ensure you've got the thing… -
When you can't find work in your industry of choice, what did/do you do to pay bills?
Of course, one wishes they could work sunrise to sunset on personal training and portfolio work, but unfortunately that doesn't pay the bills, especially as the months go by. I'm just wondering what sort of jobs you took in order to get by, especially if you managed to get jobs perhaps not completely unrelated to art. As… -
Re: Relationships and new jobs (Please come with open minds)
interesting topic To break it down there are 3 strings here: * Industry * Kids * Gf Industry : Looking at how it seems, there are two types to enter the industry, starters who got lucky somehow and people who are just really good, if you are of the latter you will probably get other opportunities. Kids: sorry man, I know…
