It depends on polygon budget and intended texture size. Floaters produce wasted texture space on the part of the face they cover, but those handle spikes are so small that you'd be better off having them detached. The head spikes are bigger and aren't using nearly as much geometry as the handle spikes, and I assume a 1600…

I did look into the AL_USD and was very impressed with their implementation. But I tried building using their provided documentation with no prevail :/ I suppose the real issue I'm having is that the documentation seems to be geared towards the Pipeline TD's which is fine because that's who it's intended for but as someone…
Ugh. I haven't read the recent Inhumans stuff (though I do intend to) but that sounds crappy. Why would they make them more similar to the X-Men? I liked them as an almost completely self-contained society. Still, it'll be cool to see Blackagar Boltagon on the big screen. I wonder if they'll live on the moon. Also, there's…
First I would like to thank everyone for their feedback and compliments on my vehicle. I really appreciate it. I am now shifting gears (pun intended) to a low poly game version of my Panther vehicle and I plan to texture and import it into Unreal. The low poly in its current state is 5,735 polys and I am planning to put 2…
I'm actually doing this for a building I want to make and there are about three different types of brick that I want to include, so perhaps I should maybe get on with that now. Using this as the basis for those brick variations is what I had sort of intended from the start, but I hadn't considered some of the other options…

The model intended designed for 3d / 2d sketches…
I used a technique almost identical to the one described above, although I also did some fiddling with time, sine and a lerp to blend between two panners to help hide the visual looping artifacts you get. For the flow maps, I literally took a screenshot, adjusted it to the intended resolution of the flow map and painted…
3D Motive actually has a Introduction to Maya course which may help you quite a bit. It's broken into three parts so far. While 3D Motive is $22 a month I cannot recommend it enough as it has enhanced my own techniques and understanding so much. At the very least set it up for one month and learn as much as you can.…
Okaaay, I find it just incredible that even this close to the deadline my brain can find ways to justify procrastinating, didn't do too much today (just the carapace). I'll pull an all-nighter if I gotta, I'll get this done. I fully intend to have the Crab low poly at least started tonight, for now I'm done with the Rider.…
