My main issue with the discussion in this thread is that EarthQuake's decrees make it seem like even listing Blender on your resume (after Max and/or Maya) will earn you negative points. I understand this is the opinion of many professionals, but is it really fair? It doesn't seem right to dock points for knowing and…
They all have their places and practices. It really depends on the object and how it will be used and UV mapped as to how you will need to edit (if at all) the end caps of a cylinder. You also have the other issue of your time being spent flipping and defining edges on cylinders and how those edges will effect edge flow…
wester: I assume you dont use max 2010 yet because in 2010 the glare shader is enabled by default - in previous version (starting with 9) it has to be enabled in a textfile. Once its enabled under render settings you can drag it into a material slot to edit it's changes (because its a shader after all). Some complete…
Hi! Commendations for finishing the character and sharing the result. Similar to what kanga wrote, I think visually there's a lot of room for improvement, particularly with anatomy/ shapes and proportions. In my opinion this is equally (if not more) important as technical execution. With future character modeling efforts,…

I did post an example of the maths on here fairly recently The answer to your question depends of what you're trying to achieve in your game. If you need what is basically a 2d…
if you remove the bones, skin weight the hanging arm cloth 100% to hip or root (basically so that animation doesn't effect them), then use cloth paint tool in unreal, I think you should get a proper simulation. for getting correct scale in MD, that should be simple to solve especially since you do have one working example…
As the title says. How do you feel about posing models created using character creator in conjunction with zbrush as shown in the link you pasted? I would like to 3d print my models in the future. Currently, I use only zbrush for posing, but it is time consuming and stressful because of the limitations. I would like to…
(Big version) As I mentioned before, in the past a lot of my personal 'for fun' work has been dioramas or prop collections. My goal with OWHQ has been to produce a shippable, professional, functioning environment, with the emphasis on looks first (I'm an artist after all) but design a close second. For lack of a cooler…
