I got the chance to take hundreds of reference photos of vehicles and planes I have to model for the army . And to finally test the technique, I made some series with different exposure time. I think they show well what this technique is good for and where its useless. The first one is a mowag piranha (also used by the us…

I'm having some weird isssues in Maya 2017 update 3, I'm creating my joints and when I rotate I get these 4 weird behaviors: This is how I expect them to look: Now, observe what happen when I simply orbit the camera around the model (in wireframe or shaded, x-ray or not, doesn't matter) 1. Joints disappear and only…

Conifer trees are pretty neat, not too easy to make though. your approach at the moment is not going to work very well when it comes to volume. you need to think bigger, bigger textures with bigger branches, bigger planes. when it comes to textures for a tree like this I would say go out and take photos of branches against…
Hi everyone. I'm going to be moving around in the near future so I need a laptop solution for my 3d work. I bought a Lenovo some time ago and it was great but I am looking for a new one. Things I'm looking for. - Works with high poly meshes in zbrush - Good performance with Maya, 3ds max and the likes. - And also to be…
This is great, love the lighting! The biggest problem for me is that the effects are overpowering everything else, so I can’t really focus on anything but the sparks. And the spinning camera makes it harder on top. I would suggest toning those both way down. The materials have a nice amount of grunge, but I can’t tell if…
