Re: UV Maps and Texturing are my Bane
@joeriv: I'm using 3ds Max Studio. I UV wrap in the old fashioned way of seaming the model then placing them across the UV space. And here's an example of one of my old UV unwrap works attached. @dustin: Thank you for the recommendations. I'll make sure to look into each, though I have already seen the Digital tutor videos. -
Re: How to become a professional 3D Artist
Waat? Adam is not here sharing his wisdom? how disappointing.:poly118: I am a hobbyist so all I can tell you is, I learned through the online tutorials at digital tutors, gnomon workshop and pnp of polycount. taking courses is good only for the fundamentals doesn't matter if its 2d or 3d or both. The rest comes from your… -

Re: Mudbox 2011
professional should not equal expensive that is rather elitist and just the kind of marketing rubbish that companies like autodesk thrive on. I do agree that mudbox does things faster and easier for the new user but I dont think it necessarily has that same advantage for professional digital sculptors who have been using… -
Re: Procedural map generation Houdini to UDK

That's not fast method. You have to be really good in Houdini to know how to achieve something like this and THEN you can do it as fast. What you see on the video is big customized Digital Asset that was made after couple months of R&D and it was made at the end of school as a proof of concept. That means 2+ years of… -
Re: POLL: 1st Industry Job in Last 2 Yrs, do you hold a Degree?
Oniram: Hey, I'm guessing you went to AiFL, what about all the top notch traditional art teachers like Mr. Radford? Or does the game art degree put less emphasis on traditional? I went before there was a game degree so I had a lot of life drawing, traditional animation and painting classes mixed in with digital classes. -
Re: How to Choose the Best 3D Software for You
I don't know if 3Ds Max is pointless to learn at this point. It has 10x more games related and focused tutorials than Maya ones from what I've seen e.g Digital Tutors, 3D Motive, Eat3D etc. That's a big incentive for those looking to develop for games. Then you can always make the transfer over to Maya if Max should fall. -
Re: [Riot Art Contest]-Shaolin/Dragonblade Fiora
Reply by Aaron Radney · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - IllustrationAlright, I've worked up the drawing pretty much. I need to adjust for the sword a bit and lengthen the torso but I can do those digitally and this is pretty much what I'll be going with in terms of pose and composition. Edit: The drawing changes have been made. Slightly longer torso, adjusted sword and slightly smaller… -
Re: Illustration practice
Lotet, thanks! Played around with brushes a lot with that one. Great exercise for sure! Achillesian, thank you! Been a while since I did a study like that, it was nice. Lots of things to learn that way. Started on a self-portrait, sorry wolf! And this was a collaboration with http://kehlet.tumblr.com/, first digital, then… -
Re: Essential Material & Learning Path Suggestions
The help and tutorials files can be very good, in the case of 3ds Max anyhow. Check out digital tutors, eat3d, gnomon, 3dmotive, they provide plenty of tutorials. Escape studios are good too for online learning. Start with the basics though, Zbrush is great fun but it's important to learn the less organic…
