Photoshop has tools to correct lens distortion but it can be tricky to use. If you know what type of camera was used (doubt it) it has preset settings if not, then you can fiddle with the settings. Another pitfall of the beauty photo shoot is that they hardly ever take profile shots or perfectly frontal shots. Its normally…
Hey James The reason UE4 only lets you have up to 4 stationary lights in one area is because the shadows are being baked into a distance field shadow map and they only have four channels. That's the reason they only allow four in one area, the big red X that appears over the light when there's more than 4 stationary lights…
Hey all I've just finished writing a new article / tutorial for my website, and I wanted to share it with you. Its mainly aimed at students and developers who might have lost some of their desire to improve, but hopefully everyone can find some inspiration from it. Anyway you can either view it on my website or view it…

There is a thread in this subforum called "recently hired in AAA? show your portfolio." I believe not very long ago two or three people were hired at ubisoft as prop artist.

I read this carefully, and you’re not crazy; this is a real gap in most organic pipelines. Your problem isn’t “retopo” in the traditional sense. It’s that decimation destroys semantic edge information, and every downstream step (cleanup, seam placement, iteration) is paying that tax again and again. Autoseams fail because…

So that was time well wasted... The profiles i get from spyder are…
I haven't used Renderman, so I can't answer any specifics here, and I assume you're using Batch Render from the Maya interface. First, do you get any feedback or error in the script editor after the render fails? It may be helpful to locate the renderman log to see what you can learn there. Are you able to solo or disable…

UPDATE 1: * Saves your options when you open and close the dialog. * Spinner for padding and selecting UV channel * Optional Output path * Shows progress bar while rendering * Due to a max bug, I added a…
Heya, It's a topic I've been thinking about alot and I haven't seen it talked about much here, or maybe I've missed it. I was just wondering how you guys cope with reviewers, or the public, commenting on your art. I've been in this bubble where I only get critique from others in the industry and I take great pride in how I…
