Efficient High Poly UV Unwrapping?
I'm doing Mesh and Texture cleanup work for 3d scanned people and working primarily in zbrush. The original polycount for the object provided to me is roughly sitting at 650k polygons, my final cleanup sits at 1.5million after dynamesh (The fingers and other elements are relatively close together so I don't want geometry… -
Need Maya 2008 workflow advice urgently
hey folks. i've got a quick gig coming up here soon, and i'll be working in maya 2008. I know the software okay, and can model/unwrap/texture fine, for the most part. i have a pretty decent understanding of maya in terms of the whole "connected nodes with attributes" thing.... but what i'm lacking as of yet is to work out… -
Re: Old Mining Lantern
I took the liberty of doing a quick paintover showing the key areas your silhouette is lacking. Basically depending on where this would be seen now close you could get to it you should adjust your polycount based that. I assume this would sit in a table or hang from a hook BUT as this is a presentation piece low poly edges… -
Re: Trouble opening some .tbscene files
Alright, finally managed to sit down and send this. I had a bit of work to do beforehand, and lo and behold the weird still-able-to-interact-but-UI-locks-up-and-screen-goes-grey-after-a-while thing reared its ugly head after a crash while loading a texture. Cool. So I sent that off, too. And hey, I absolutely understand… -
Re: Cyborgs n Stuff

Meditate. Exercise. Try not to resent not being able to sit in… -
Re: Ergonomics, being physically stressed as a digital artist

You should look into stretching, trying to do some regular exercising that works the affected muscles, making… -
Re: Laptop vs. Desktop
I greatly prefer working on a laptop. No contest at all. Even if I don't leave home, the freedom to move around while I work makes me feel more human. I might work at a desk for an hour, then move to a couch, then sit on the floor... I'm a bit fidgety, so I find myself constantly changing positions while I work. Sitting… -
Re: Windows Vista
I don't mind Vista. It does seem like a few things are slowed down, and I'm still waiting for a few companies to provide Vista supported software/drivers. What I typically recommend to people is, don't spend the money on Vista, but if it's coming prepackaged with a new PC, then use it. I've had several people talk to me… -
Re: roman soldier
Looking good! I'm glad to see you're working on this one =) Crits: The face is very V shaped, the mouth looks to be sitting kind of low and the nose is a bit long and skinny. He also looks a bit surprised. If he's not going to be rigged with a jaw bone to close his mouth you should close it. I suggest, - Square off the jaw… -
Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
[ QUOTE ] When I start up HL2 my monitor clicks down to the proper resolution... and just sits there. I have to "alt-tab" into the game loading screen. [/ QUOTE ] I have the same issue Adam. I let it sit at this screen for a bit, maybe a minute or two, and it eventually switched over to the hl2 application as it should. I…
