I think this is the best thing to happen to OR. :/ I don't think the future of VR is necessarily in games, I think it's HUGE for education, military, and healthcare. - Learning how to drive with an occulus rift, might be safer than driving in a car. - Learning how to perform open heart surgery in an occulus rift might be…

I thought I'd go ahead and post the results I have so far. I went ahead and tried the two stage bake just to educate myself, but I'm going to push on with a low poly that doesn't require an extra reduction at the end. (This bake is so simple that I do think it would be a mistake to declare it a success.) Render, left to…
I got distracted by real world stuff for the past week, and progress was slow going. So I'm using xnormal to bake Object Space normals. I put the gun into wolfire's phoenix engine. The nvidia plugin doesn't do object space, from what i can tell. So I'm not able to put in all the details that I had before. Still trying to…
I think if she wanted a new yacht, she'd buy a real-estate development firm to help her close a bid on a naval shipyard, and then buy all the land around it for twenty miles just to keep the looky-loos away. Then she'd have it built by hand, and carried ninety miles to sea by a team of Sherpas personally hand-picked from…
Self education related to things that interests me. No family so I have quite a lot of time.Those related things comes down to learn math and programming which I wish I focused on more in school but its never late I guess. I also like tech so I spend a lot of time tinkering with computer stuff and exploring new fields of…
Take Clinton Crumpler's Modular Environments for UE course at CGMA. It was worth every penny to soak up his knowledge :) Edit: Read your post a bit more thoroughly. If you're just getting into your software... do a couple personal projects first and then seek some outside education. If you're fighting hotkeys and workflows…
Working on collaborative projects can be a valuable educational experience, but if someone is promising that you'll get paid at some unspecified point in the future, you should assume that you will absolutely never get paid. There is a ninety-nine percent chance that they're overly optimistic and/or flat out scamming you.…
Feng Zhu mentions the trap of speedpainting somewhere in his podcasts (which are honestly all amazing), saying that it's seemingly fun and educative especially since most of the youtuber concept artists go for it, but it doesn't really help you really learn anything in the end. (Unless you're already at the level where…
I'm moving this from Career & Education to the 2D Art Showcase & Critiques section. Technique & reference discussion makes more sense there, and it should get you more feedback too. Skin coloration is informed directly by anatomy. If you study superficial anatomy in particular... muscles & ligaments & tendons & fat layers…
