i did this primarily because I'm going to need it at work on monday but it's a neat enough trick that it's worth sharing here generally speaking I don't do a lot with fx-maps. most things can be done better in pixel processors if you apply enough maths but in this instance I will need to take advantage of their inherent…
Don't believe all those positive reviews there is quite a lot things still very wrong with Unity3D. Sure they will upgrade and fix the flaws and gabs but it is NO WAY close to what they claim in their ads and website (just like adobe, autodesk,microsoft,... software)..

The rest of the mesh such as chest, hips and head are symetrical and i need to sculpt details on these, but due to…
Just in case you're not aware of the current 3D gamedev industry situation: it's not good. Lots of layoffs happened which means you're competing vs. people who have a lot stronger portfolios and most likely more experience. Prop artist role is very rare, Weapons artist role is probably even more rare nowadays and the bar…
Hey everyone! I'm a student trying to get an understanding of human anatomy before I let myself move on to clothing/stylized figures. I would really appreciate some feedback so that I don't pick up any bad habits! Please be as harsh as needed! I'm working off of this wonderful concept by Fred Augis (Space Suit #02)!…
