Re: Is NVil worth using over Silo?
I love Nvil and use it exclusively for SubD modeling after many years with Maya. Its getting monthly updates...and the developer is listening to good ideas if you have them. I am of the opinion that if you understand the core concept of streamline tools, you will be able to model faster then in any other application.… -
Re: Advice on animating fight scenes?
If you're going into some over the top or superhero-ish fight animations and are looking at live action movie references, be aware of cables used to pull actors back after being power punched in the face. When animating always make sure to know where the force is coming from so you can work with a reference like that… -
Re: Terrain - How I Hate Terrain...
World Machine ftw, put a bit of time into learning it and the results will be totally worth it. It basically gives you awesome flow maps and natural wear channels for free, which is priceless when megatexturing (you can see the signature erosion flow paths quite clearly in many Rage terrain shots). It's not difficult to… -
Re: Software choices + workflow advice (Maya user)
Imho if your just modeling, texturing and rendering then you can't go wrong with modo. It's a great modeler, has a fast renderer and has some decent painting tools. Other applications would be: C4D also has bodypaint built. Lightwave also as a new version which is a complete rewrite of its core coming out in a few months.… -
Re: XFormer for Max
@roosterMAP, It could be done the way you say, just click Apply and the changes are applied. It would in fact be much easier to develop the tool that way and avoid the previewing step. However, some times the topology of the object or its rotation makes it very hard for the artist to correctly visualize the alignment, and… -
Re: What you post on ArtStation.
i think its less about putting down beginners, and more about professionals feeling like the reason they are there, the function of the site, is being degraded by the change in context that is coming from artstation diversifying their services and audience toward new sectors like education or indeed direct sales of artwork… -
Re: [UDK] Arcadia Moon Colony: Military Maintenance Bay
So much goodness in this piece!!! Really awesome work. Be careful with that balance of contrast. The paintover Robeomega did is great. Definitely use squint mode in unreal to help out on this. It's a godsend to determine what the first visual read is for an environment. If I have any crits, it would have to be that you… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 7 (Join in!)
Great work everyone. Just a few things I noticed - @theonewhoknocks I think there's too much noise and dark shadows in your diffuse. In my experience when using a Diffuse/Spec/Normal setup the shadow information should mainly come from the engine lighting, spec, normals etc. and not the diffuse. Having intense black… -
Re: Texture tiling software?
B2M is pretty cheap if you are not using it for commercial purposes. $49 on steam. That said you still have access to Map Zone, which is pretty much where B2M and Substance Designer started. It's free btw. http://www.mapzoneeditor.com/ Krita is a free open source painting and texturing application thats gaining ground.… -
Re: The War of Art and Powerful Motivation
Not every episode no, but drugs are pretty awesome I would likely address it the same condescending tone and rolled eyes up until about 20, And joe got into drugs late as well, we all seem to have a lot of preconceived notions of drugs unfortunately through the larger cultural brainwashing of greater society. Hell they…
