Re: Whats a good course to start with likeness?
i wouldn't recommend to pay for a $600 course from an expert that only has 15 hours of video for a task that requires hundreds of hours per asset. That seems more like a course that may be helpful if you are already pretty far along and are looking for a push to get to the next level that you can't get to on your own. If… -
Cgtrader standards / glass
Hey guys cgtrader says that for a PBR workflow I should upload at least: BaseColor Normal Metalness and Roughness. And in case of a glass material I should add an opacity map. This I don't get. I usually make my glasses with refraction maps in Vray with ior and other options, but why doesn't cgtrader ask for a material… -
Re: Work/Education Balance?
Its up to you, but reading through it I would make a high bet against you making it in the game industry. Its not about you not being able to learn it, its about betting on all the other people that are dedicated to the profession and the limited amount of jobs there are.

Re: Loss of Motivation in a Professional Environment
The game industry is very much like this all the time. Things get cut or reduced to the point where the real magic is lost at times. Making games of the AAA magnitude involves many tough choices for sure. I am glad your not totally disheartened :) Limbo happens especially at these stages. I think also the Next Gen push… -
Re: Hair; Female Hair.
And this is why we have bald space marines... Yea sorting can be a bitch even in offline rendering it takes forever to sort all that out and render shadows accurately. Most render'ers take the geometry into account, not what is painted in the transparency map, until you force certain settings, then it takes even longer.… -
