Re: Advice for career path for artist role
This is a valid point! I do jump around a lot, but I have that silly mentality of oh this is hard, lets begin from the start to learn that.. ohh something shiny! and begin to work on that. I do believe I have some clear ideas but just need to whittle down what isnt going to be worth me focusing so much on right now.… -
Re: Fine art schools?
They do accept everyone, but from my experience, the ones that don't cut it in the first year don't end up coming back. The instructors are brutally honest with their critiques. I've seen students throw their drawing boards, storm out of class, swear at the teachers, etc. They are also very conservative with grading. You… -
How to create a LEGO animation without getting burned out?
Hello everyone, this is Denis Weber. Today I’m going to talk about what happens if you combine LEGO and the iconic movie Terminator 2. I’ll show you how I created a real LEGO trailer and what came out of it. I like doing such large-scale projects and if you have any cool ideas, let me know in the comments. If you prefer… -

Projection painting in Maya
Hi all, i just wanted to share a neat little process i hacked together the other day, it's nothing super amazing, kind of novel if anything. What it is is a way to basically paint on a screengrab from maya, bake that down using a second UV set as a ref, and done, you've got a workable texture. Pros: painting on a… -
Re: Sculptris Pro mode in ZBrush
I love Sculptris pro mode when Im working with something that is organic such as a sculpted tree, or rocks. Some statues even too. It's great to be able to quickly pull out forms and very quickly iterate and make changes to better fit a reference. It's akin to just slamming on more clay without having to dynamesh anything… -
Re: Why is topology still such a conundrum?!
Kanga, although I agree that these are amazing hard surface models beautifuly rendered, but I can't remember that I’ve ever seen a close-up shot of a beveled adge of hard surface models done in ZBrush! (Of course We are talking about dynamesh and not Zmodeler) I mean when it comes to quality of sharpness or smoothness of… -
Re: xsi to uvlayout to xsi to smashface
roadkill is a disaster speed wise,- maybe I should give it another chance but the times I tested it it failed running workable - full of hick ups and freezing. Also the GUI is to much mouse action - to often I needed to point on icons and buttons. also all of the other UV specialized tools don't come with instances, series… -
Environment Art Portfolio Critique
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some feedback on my portfolio. A few weeks ago I sent out some job applications and received radio silence in response, and one offer of an art test which I failed. At this point I know I need to improve further, but I don’t know “what” I should focus my efforts on. Currently I’m slogging… -
Help with Art and Idea development
Hey all. For a long time I've meditated about this, my process to produce art has iterated quite a lot, but it's still not great, I borrowed things from other art academies, tutorials online and gnomon workshops and my own school... for idea developments. I still don't think I am very efficient, or not as quite as I'd like…
