this is the entire problem in a nutshell right there. You've got to stop saying "I know," and start with "I don't know." You can skim through the parts of a tutorial that are redundant. But there is always something useful to learn. Maybe in an entire 5 hours long tutorial its all stuff you already know, but in one key…
book recommendation: Drawing Essentials by Rockman. I studied under an artist who studied under the author, and I can say the information is very sound. You can buy all the bridgman and loomis books in the world, but IMO these books are way too high caliber for the absolute beginner or even intermediate. Books however are…
Hello everyone, I've been following 3d for a while and have dabbled a bit for a small projects before but want to get serious and eventually get hired at a studio. Currently I'm 18 but do not think going to art school is a sound idea judging by the tuition fees and fact that I already live near a ton of huge studios. I…
Hi guys thanks for the reply! I wanted to give more context and post the update: the game is simply diving for fish to collect, then sell them to purchase upgrades to reach the bottom. So far I have 3 zones created with (hopefully) their own unique feel. My limitations are through using Unity's URP where certain post…
My philosophical answer, in my mind, is the universe it's self. Technological machines are man made creations of material and are not limited to scraps of metal and wires, yet man is in sense a machine of the universe as we were manufactured by it, so one can say that if the universe is a bi-product of it's self then it is…
I had my computer go down for maintenance nearly every other month last year. Turns out a RAM stick was bad. And the GPU VRAM was also glitching. And a HD started to fail while another imploded. The mobo is also suspicious. Wonderful times. After RMAs and tweaking to stabilize it so it could limp ahead for a little longer…
Edit: This only happens with 2.3, 2.2 works fine This started to happen with Substance Painter 2.3 It worked fine with my motherboards IGPU,Intel HD 3000, "fine" meaning it actually opened a mesh without crashing I think it has something to do with OpenGl or what ever viewport rendering library you use It crashes every…
Besides using Edit Normals modifiers, you could also maybe fix it by selecting all the faces and pressing Retriangulate (Editable Poly > Edit Polygons > Retriangulate)? The file probably only holds the point order for each face instead of per-triangle, and so the results are going to vary based on the method used by an app…
It has some issues... I thought I'd post up the code and see if anyone has ideas... I'm finding it difficult to connect the floatFields to the value of the functions... and the selected vert mode doesn't work... Here it is. It's mostly an exercise in scripting #Import Necessary Modulesimport maya.cmds as mcimport random#…
Thanks so much for the feedback. I wasn't planning on doing anything else on the scene and moving on with more knowledge on how to improve but with your critiques in mind I may try revisiting it and posting some updates here! As for the story of the scene, I love the Three Kingdoms era of China and based this (loosely in…
