Wow......O.O You never for once thought that it was too good to be true and Microsoft isnt contacting you once for a contract? Or you never called Microsoft directly so you would have a better idea of what the entire Scene is going to be? You just relied on Aquent assuming it to be the third party agency sucking off 10-20…
If you are a 3dsmax user (version 9+) you can check out TexTools which is a bunch of scripts in 1 toolbar. Anyway in TexTools there is a symmetry tool that mirrors either one side to the other one (select half of the faces to mirror) or just select the edge mirror and average booth sides. It works like this: Just make sure…
Hey @Colton This is a great start, you can definitely see him in there. One tricky thing to consider with likeness studies is the actor across the spectrum of their career and how their face ages. Bale is a method actor so his body undergoes drastic weight transitions from role to role. This can affect overall body weight…
Personally I'd stick with a 9 button mouse and that'll be enough to be efficient. I have a Tartarus after I already remapped everything in 3ds Max to the keyboard and mouse and I still have plenty of room. The only thing I would use it for in Max at this point are windows you pop up now and again or script windows just…
Seems a highly unprofessional business practice. TLDR version: A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing. It's a cop out. If he wants your skills then he can pay the 9 till 5 for them like any other company. If he can't, do you really want to be in the situation where all you have are empty promises to…
I probably didn't word that as well as I should of. Min spec is any DX9 compatible card with 256mb of ram or greater. Nitrous has higher requirements for some of its advanced features like realtime lighting and display of normal maps in the viewport. For general animation and rendering (typically fewer than 1,000 objects…
The designs are looking really cool and the anatomy is progressing. I think considering how lean you plan on making her and how much anatomy will show in the end result its really worth putting the time into to getting it perfect, or as close to perfect as you can before moving onto the rest. Otherwise you gonna end up…
To chime in I believe @Dudestein nailed it in the first post, industry experience will always be key. However from personal experience it doesn't mean you don't have a shot freelancing. I have no industry experience however made the bold move to freelance in animation. It is really hard going, lots of late nights. Staying…
Ah no worries :D yeah had me baffled for a bit! haha. Cheers mate :) After a bit more digging around online, I think I found the ideal weapons I'd like to have on this - the GAU-8 Avenger ( http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/211/8/9/gau_8_avenger_by_flyboy008-d4268aw.jpg ) It's used on the A-10 - actually the aircraft…
So There were a few things I saw that I'd like to point out: 1. The front shape there isn't looking like the perspective hot. you've got that horizontal shape where it should be a nice bevel. The height seems a bit off as well. 2. Missing the circular shape. Also the the top rail should be skinnier than the bit where it…
