Re: How do YOU focus?
Jimmies learning 3d modeling isn't a walk in the park. I'm not sure if you have learned to think in 3d but it took me a very long time to get used to seeing four views and not get confused. But I like the freaking thing instantly and the fact that it was hard as shit for me just made me more determined to learn it. I used… -
xnormal workflow/settings (warning: long post)
hi, following the advice from a polycount´s user (sorry I can´t remember the user name because my posts have been deleted... long story :P but I am really grateful for his help) I started using Xnormal for maps creation (above all normal maps and occlusion) which saved me lots of time saving chunks from Zbrush, optimizing,… -

Hello, This is actually only my second post as I just joined the forums. I've been modeling as a hobby for awhile now and just started college for game art/3D animations.

My Very First Sculpted Head
I've always dreaded learning to sculpt. It always seemed like something that'd be beyond me. I'd try out a demo for some program, watch a tutorial on some simple thing like how to make a lumpy rock, and would totally suck at it. "I can't even make a rock", I'd think. Tears would be shed, and egos would be wounded.… -

Still Hand Painting Terrain?
Hi Everyone, Terrain is a popular topic for any game engine, and there are various ways of generating the heightfield data. If you're looking at some popular PC and Console games, chances are they're using World Machine. It doesn't make much sense to have to hand-paint kilometers of terrain with a push and pull brush. I've… -

Another topology question (Maya)
Hello Polycounters, This is a very basic question, with a very complex answer, and that's why I'm having to ask people that know and can't quite google the answer myself. Why Am I asking these questions: Because for the past 4 months (as lonng as I've been modelling) I've done nothing but follow tutorials, and I am itching…
