[ QUOTE ] I'm assuming at this point the reason is that I'm running Maya 5 and these files will only work with Maya 6 (full version or PLE). [/ QUOTE ] Can't use PLE, has to be full version of Maya. When you open the ASCII file with Wordpad or some text editor, this what it looks like: <font class="small">Code:</font><hr…
uh thats some really nice improvement there nice head as well. there is quite some papers about introduction to shaders and such, and most of them also bring up some basics about the rendering pipeline. However you will mostly find these papers and articles if you dig it up on graphics coding sites, which are probably not…
I can share mine though it was a while ago. I'd say it really depends on the studio and how well they have organised their onboarding process and what a junior is expected to take on as responsibilities. Usually there is the studio wide onboarding where they will cover everything from studio overview, projects, codes of…
Yes. maybe. I saw fantastic job people do in SPainter sometimes but Painter sort of rules your hand. While in Zbrush you goes from general low-res form , through mid-frequency details to tiny details and it it makes you select what to do and how smooth vs how sharp. Since the detailing needs extra time you test in game…
Hmm, perhaps I should ask this in the existing LT thread... But since I already asked, here I go again: Do you know of any videos that picture the workflow of getting the shader compounds into UDK or Unity? I'm no coder, so I need detailed instructions on getting that kind of thing to work. Plus I'm really curious how…

The goal of 2 Old Men Studios…
I'm coming from 3ds Max where I'm used to pressing a keybind (CTRL-R) to enter Orbit mode (rotate around selection), in which left click and drag rotates the view and right click exits the mode. My question is, is there a way (settings or otherwise) I can get Blender to do the same -- basically toggling rotate on/off…
My solution is: "Diversify" (if you can). Work is not just "work", tasks can be difficult, daunting, boring, challenging and so on. I'm not in the mood or simply physical form to do effectively any on them at any time. After 10-12 hours of coding I can hardly work on a new piece of code. If I try I find myself loosing more…
