Hello guys, I want to become a professional 3D modeler. Recently, I almost finished the first stage of this project (Mid-Poly), now I will correct mistakes and then I'll start working on Hi-Poly geometry, using technique UV Islands + ZBrush. I know, my render skill is so bad... I'll improve it later... Also, sorry for my… -
Mirror wont reflect MR glow. (3dsmax 15)
Hi, I have a simple issue which I think is self explanatory in the picture below. I can't get the Mirror to reflect the glow. Mirror is AutodeskMirror. Glow is output Glare (On); instance glare to slate > Mental Ray > attached MR glow to Mental Ray surface shader > apply to material. http://postimg.org/image/h119sh6tx/ -

Re: How to inspire artists to learn?
On top of the issue of the previous lead being an ass, there seems to be quite a lot at play here. Dustin has a lot of great points. Since a lot of ground has been covered already I'll just toss in a few remarks and questions. - Where is the Art Director in this story ? While Art Leads do play a huge role in the visual… -
Re: Mesh outline generation for leaves?
This piqued my interest so I hacked a macroscript I'd cobbled together a while back for turning sprites into 3d objects (it's a hack squared) It appears to work - it's not fully automated or clever but I actually got some decent results out of it bad things : It starts from a very inefficient mesh (quad per pixel) and… -
Re: WIP satyr - Showcase
Hey ShadowDragon first of all I will say bravo for being proactive and getting creative and modelling something. Getting motivated enough to actually start learning some software and having a go at modelling is half the battle, so you're already moving forward. :-) I will attempt to give a few pointers, which are obviously… -
Re: Roach3D - Artworks & Improvement (low poly, handpainted, and physical)
Thanks very much Striker, that means a lot! I am a big fan of your work. Okay onto the last batch: Here I am trying to figure out where the ground pieces should go.. I wasn't able to spend as much time on this as I liked but any extra time I spent on the last minute sculpting took time directly away from painting. It still… -
Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
@Rorsh Thank you for providing those sample images. The Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR DX is one of their softer kit lenses. Stopping down to somewhere between f/5.6 and f/8 should help sharpen things up a bit. It also looks like the camera is having some minor back focusing issues in the first two photos. Stopping down to…
