Hi Guys, I've recently noticed that in the showcase trailer for Marmoset 3, it shows rain effects. I was wondering if the staff would be releasing any tutorials on how to export particle systems from Cinema4D/Maya/3DsMax etc any time soon so that we could use this software to its full potential. Or perhaps are you planning…
Hello, I'm the US Claire Force. I'm a fledgling art student looking to go into either concept art or environment design for games, and I need some advice/criticism regarding a concept piece of mine. Specifically, I'd like to know how understandable the concept is and if there is any way I could improve on the design. Also…
I want to become a character designer and I'd like to learn how to model in 3D. I am getting the hang of sculpting in Zbrush and am using Digital tutors as a guide. I hear 3ds is easier for modeling but I am more familiar with Maya. I'm still a a novice modeler and am willing to learn 3ds Max too. So which is better for…
In case you missed it, Wacom has a new doodling tool for you. It's name is Inkling and its a traditional pen that writes on paper, but has some magical technology inside that also records your movements. This allows you to import your drawings and notes into a digital format without the need of scanning your actual…
I am in the process of making a new digital portfolio and I wanted to have a standard setup of lighting and backdrops for my models. When you render out a turnaround, what color backdrop do you use?

I believe, boys and girls, that this might be the very apitome of stupid Hollywood executive decisions. Behold the new champion for most incredibly pointless use of CG ever http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/beowulf/large.html What the hell were they thinking? If you're going to use a digital scan and a mo-cap of the…
Hey everyone. This was a personal project where I wanted to test how close I could render a digital double in engine where I made Megan Fox in Unreal 4. Sculpting was done in ZBrush and all texturing was hand-done in Photoshop. All sculpting, texturing, material and lighting work done by myself. Any feedback would be much…
Hey Guys and Gals! I am getting ready to decorate a new work area. I want to get some inspirational environment pieces to place on the walls. The bad thing is that most of my favorite artists don't sell their works as prints.... Anyone have recommendations on places to look for printed inspirational art? Especially art…
Hey everyone! I want to really start documenting my process of learning ZBrush and highpoly workflow whilst I search for a full-time position. So it's time I booted up my own progress thread to share and perhaps get some feedback as I set out on my quest seeking ANCIENT and ARCANE knowledge from the masters who lurk in the…
Hi Guys, Been struggling to find the term to look for a tool for 3dsmax or a middleware in general to paint over the screen. My intention is to paint over a 3D animation to help me with keyframes and to have team discussions painting over timeline etc. I saw some time ago people using a layer of plastic and markers, but…
