Cannonfodder released some nice smd exporting tools for 3D Studio Max. http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm And as for learning how to get the models in, I spent a lot of time going through trial and error to get stuff working. HL2world has a wikipedia setup and I've posted a few things on getting props…
Thats really sad, it should be way different. Not sure how long most of those take but my bachelor lasted 4 Years (8 semesters) and it was definitely short compared to the former diploma scheme where it was usually 10 semesters. But at least I learned a shit load of stuff especially lots of basics like anatomy, drawing,…
I agree with you NikhilR, It can definitely feel like that. I feel like even back in the day it was luck that I got the PM. I was prepared for the luck as I was posting and letting people know I was looking for work was the only thing I had going for me. Having a running log of how my art was improving on polycount was…
Progress Post 3: Third time's a charm! Hey everyone, after reviewing feedback I had received from both here and from close friends who are also avid writers, I've returned with my latest revision, Especially towards HalfTangible's feedback. I've addressed a good majority of the points that have been made with Version 1.2…
@pior this is all good feed back, and some of these points are in the process of being addressed. as for Sverchok, if you're interested in these kinds of things please do take a look at Houdini (the demo is free and feature complete), I haven't really looked too hard at Sverchok to see the extent of it's abilities but I…
Yeah it took me awhile to figure out how to script in Zbrush... I did it only for this idea and forgot most of it by now... Would have to open Zbrush to remind myself how did it all work. You need to google basics of zscripting. If you want I can send you the *.zsc file which you need to put in the ZStartup/Zplugs. You…
Feel free to PM me if you've got any questions about school...I took a bunch of foundation art courses, illustration courses, a few sequential art courses and a few game design courses. I know a little bit about a handful of other majors. If you're interested in learning about another major, I can probably find a friend or…
@THE 5: Yeah, I hope so, they seem unnecessary, but if they're a must for the normal map to work correct I guess they're not.. @Jet_Pilot: Do you mean making every uv border to a hard edge? @EarthQuake: Hmm yeah, I just kind of realized that the cages geometry doesn't update whenever I edit the lowpoly mesh geometry. I…
Haha the eye bleeding contrast. Drop the light blue and yellows. Color blind people will love you for it. The dark scheme was working well and the simplicity was spot on, never sure of a blue/orange mix but i put that down to taste. What software are you using as well? I assume that it is Ai? If so, when showing graphic…
