Attempting to make simple animations for a game character in Maya LT, help is appreciated
Hello Polycount 3D experts, I have been working on a personal project for the last few weeks which has been in the works since last fall.

Methods for hard environment modeling - interiors
Heya, New question for all you pros out there. I know environmental modeling takes different forms dependent on the game or scene being produced. Just to focus, though, let's use buildings as an example. In FPS buildings, is there a methodology to unwrapping any buildings, or even interior areas like hallways or rooms,… -
Quad Ngon Modeling Techniques
Hi there, I wanted your guys advise on how I should be going about modeling hardsurface objects. I am quite stuck in a pure quad mentality which I realize is silly and I am starting to see the pro's to utlizing n gons.

Re: Anatomy Mentor
Question do you know how to do human ears. I'm not looking for mentoring I just think that you would get more clients if you updated your examples above, and included working in stages from base mesh to a complete model with rendering, texture and colour. Good luck -

Re: When we say multiple material id on a single model, what do we mean?

Gotta ping you someday when I come up with a character project soon to see how it works in practice. :D I've always just used separate materials on a single UV channel and that's it, so this is completely new to me. @bitinn I'm not sure what you're… -
Re: Charlie's Chocolate Factory
Here is my C&C... (1) Looking at your level as a whole, it feels very noisy. It doesn't feel coherent as an environment. Their is nothing that implies it's the Willy Wonka Factory other than the Chocolate bars that has it's name on it. (1a) For example you have this fantasy-esque land at eye-level, but you have a…
