Re: Quaternion versus Euler
If you're talking about Biped, just leave it on quaternion. When my animation students show me that their Biped is vibrating when it shouldn't, I immediately know it's because they set the Euler option. The Euler option is really just an after thought. If you are using a custom rig, or the CAT plugin, you have access to… -
Re: Do you prefer accurate ware detail or accurate reflectivity?
The reason I ask is because I see tons of good looking detail in the albedo textures on artstation but the surface lighting looks all wrong. Granted, 99% of them are students but it's just one of those things that drives me up the wall. I'd rather see overly noisy pieces that light correctly than accurate noise that has… -
Re: Surveillance Drone [WIP]
Thanks, much appreciated. Yeah, modeling in C4D is kind of okay for the most part, but I keep having trouble with vertex normals and smaller things like aligning points on an angular plane, but it's actually really fast to model in when you learn how to deal with some of the quirks it has. I've yet to come across a way to… -

Re: When are you ready to start working?
Very good things have been said! Hopefully it didn't come across as a whine, but maybe it's as Mask_Salesman put it, a fear of failing. I'd make the distinction though that it's about the fear of failing an employer much more so than the act of failing. In hindsight it may be a silly topic, but most similar topics are… -
Re: Not sure which book to buy for making characters
Find a copy of Die Gestalt des Menschen by Gottfried Bammes. It's the best reference you can find on paper. It's in German, but all you need is the reference images in the book. Ain't cheap, but out of the 20 anatomy books I own, it's the only one I would even recommend if you're serious about learning this stuff. Make… -

Re: How have you been Challenging yourselves this year?
Tbh i have stepped away from art in my spare time after joining Splash Damage as an Environment artist. Instead i have flirted with scripting in Maya to get a quicker modeling workflow as well as writing a little document (currently around 5000 words) on my experience from leaving uni to breaking into the industry and what…
