I fall into the same story almost, loved Disney growing up. I wanted to be an animator growing up too. By high school my interested had shifted a bit, Disney and the industry where crumbling, I had turned my focus to graphic design and games. I figured layout and paste up was a good move for me at my skill level (read I…
I think it's still mostly about art looking good. No one will put too much effort into researching technical side of your art at early stages. That's what test assignment and trial period are for.
Hi everyone. I am currently doing a project where I have chosen a concept from Surendra Raiawat, a concept inspired by the stop motion Kubo and the two strings. My goal is too see how I can translate a 2d concept into 3d. I would really like to get some critique and how I could improve on the piece. This is my first ever…

I posted two of these in my anatomy thread, but I'm going to move it here because I plan to work on this image a bit while I do the escape challenge. I really cannot decide on a composition.

I had already mapped and textured the props which is the last thing I did before leaving it to do some other work, but when I came…
my beta license expired today, which I had no idea would happen.. luckily, I had my work saved to obj otherwise I could be looking at stuff locked in silo2 beta format... mine, and mops have both expired. I've only managed to find one or two other references to expired versions on the web, but I bought mine fairly close to…
Hello! I have a question...lets say i created high poly rock with zbrush. Now i exported that into maya and retopo to make low poly mesh and uv map it. Since high poly mesh also has poly paint, i'd prefer to use zbrush to generate normal and color maps. Now i'd like to import low res mesh from maya back into zbrush. So…
Anybody catch this? I was a big fan of the original movie, and didn't really get into the two TV shows until recently (they always seemed a little too silly/lite for me). This new show seems much more serious. I can see where the accusations of "Battlestar Galactica clone" come from though. A crew of military people come…
