I've been working on a scene and a couple of characters from the comic book series Witch Doctor! The plan is to get the two characters ready and animated, build a scene for them to hang out in, and then put it all into Unity so viewers can rotate around and look at it in detail on my portfolio website. Vincent Morrow looks…
Hello, I'm trying to write my first cgfx shader for Maya, and I have a question about what the upper limit is for number of texture maps I can access. I am using Maya 2012, and in Maya's help it says its cgfx shader plugin supports Cg version 3.0.015. I have a Quadro FX 3800 graphics card, and I can compile and…

Back in 2012, my roommates convinced me to try League of Legends. My first character was Lux, and I immediately bought her the Spellthief skin. Since then, I feel like its visual style has fallen out of line with the game, so I want to try to give it a bit of fan love! Usually, my process involves a lot of scribbled…
Well, with FBX being Autodesk's attempt at bridging their own apps it's very possible that they write redundant data in there (after all, SGs in the Max sense are indeed per-face properties so I wouldn't be surprised if FBX was holding both vertex normals *and* a Max-specific SG index). And then of course that doesn't mean…
In an ideal world, yes. In an indie world, no. :) I think "indie rates available" is a good idea if the expectations are very clear. Depends on what you can negotiate. If you're working a fulltime job and can only put in a few hours a night or on weekends, make sure it's extremely clear what your time commitments are, and…
Hey there maximusproductions I took a FuturePoly class back in Jan 2012 and I must say that it was well worth the money considering the low priced tuition for 3 months and the wealth of knowledge the instructors have if you put in the time each week. I took Joe Pikop's aka stoofoo's Zbrush for Games class. From what I…
Maya works by loading scripts into memory as a procedure/command. So if you put the mel file into the scripts folder it is automatically loaded and saved by Maya. Now when you want to "launch" it, you can't launch a script, you execute the procedure inside the script. Usually it's the same name of the script if the author…
Thanks guys i appreciate the feedback!

The…
plaster would be chiped away more near the breaks making the bricks there more visible, plaster chipping seems verry uniform, and bevel on paster is too thick, making it look really deep and smoothed at the chips edge. http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/3897040/2/istockphoto_3897040_broken_brick_wall.jpg…
