[Maya] How to rig for complex polygon movement? (SOLVED)
This is a simple problem and I'm hoping someone here has a simple solution. I've been rigging something, and in the below image I've isolated a single eye from the model along with the nurbs controls. Right now the only thing I can do from here is manipulate the Scale Y value from the slider. Here's what it looks like if I… -
Using the "cut" tool with accuracy. Is it possible?
I often find myself needing to use the cut tool when "connect" just doesnt "cut" it (sorry lol), and I need more flexible control over where Im going. However, there seems to be ONE major problem with "cut", and its that you can never really get full accuracy or precision with it. For example, say I had a "diamond" shaped… -

Re: Could you Suggest me tips for Develop My 3D Modeling Abilities for Game Development
If you're an absolute beginner and looking for software, Blender is a great choice because it's free, and has pretty much everything you really need to make 3d models. You may want to invest in stuff like Zbrush later, but that depends on what you want to make, so I guess that begs the question; what kind of 3d models do… -
Open Edges
hey, just a quick question regarding open edges... When I ran my STL check on my high poly model, all my errors were open edges. Firstly I wanted to ask - why are open edges an issue? And secondly, I wondered if it is acceptable to have open edges on floaters. I found with some of my floaters, leaving the edges open helped… -
Re: Art Test Questions!
It really depends on which point in the process you're asked to do a test. If you're one of many candidates doing a test for a shot at an interview and a possible position, then no, you wouldn't typically have talked about wages or other details.

We've always considered the sliders as a way to tweak and play with the texture content within the app. So instead of switching to photoshop to adjust the curves on your gloss map, you just mess with a slider in TB and see what works. I can see your point about… -
Re: Topology standards for hard surface modeling?
Andrew does show on Artstation two diffent workflows. One are the background obejcts or orbject without subD. The others are mostly quads cause of the displacement they use on those SubD meshes. There is still so much confusion about ngons and "bad" geo. Ngons and tris arnt bad. But you need to know where you should work… -
