Re: Website Pimp
Its a cool site, but not a great portfolio site. The site steals focus from the art =/ The art needs to be free flowing and not obscure tiny thumbnails. I really like the site as a site, but I just don't see it working well "right now" as a portfolio site unless you tweak it. - Increase the number of thumbnails and the… -

Re: UV layout tips and tricks thread
Here's a bit of what I tend to do. Maybe it'll be helpful to some. I uv sections as I go, and start grouping them together in whatever way makes the most sense.

Re: Nifty... MayaLT on Steam
Heya, I can completely relate to that line of inquiry. I was doing the same not long ago, and also coming from a Maya background I couldnt really see the worth in Modo at first.

The reference you provided is super helpful. I have been getting more comfortable… -

Re: Reviving my old BRAWL environment
Yeah, I was worried I overdid it on the lanterns. :P The original idea for the scene was to have it at dusk lighting (You can see in the concept that the sun is setting in the background over a mountain, which I still plan on getting into the scene at some point), so I'll try and go back in that direction without…
