Re: Biker Chick

I am a 35 year old senior BA fine arts who touched a computer for the first time 3 years ago. I am not trying to be a character modeler, and I hope not a prop modeler (Though I did want to… -

Image Shear
Hey. I've got a little problem. My roomate is trying to set up some image planes to model a character. However when I import the files into maya the file node and the lambert look alright, once on the plane or even a cube the image is unexplainably sheared. This does not happen with all images. My resources are the 3dsk… -
Shading issue with object space normal map (TB2)
Hey folks, wondering if anyone has had this same issue. I'm trying to use an object space normal map for a model. Every part of the model is uniquely unwrapped and I have double-checked that none of the UVs are flipped.

Frustrating Pelt Unwrap Issue
Hey guys! Every now and again I run in to this really annoying issue with pelt unwrapping and I have no idea what caused it or how to fix it. I've been using 3DSMax for years and ever since the pelt function got introduced, I've intermittently experienced it. This leads me to believe I'm hitting some sort of hotkey that… -
Re: Mac OS now running on P.C.'s
[ QUOTE ] Sounds like your Mac probs would be fixed by a few more regular hours in the pilot seat. Then you'd just have the 'CTRL or CMND' shortcut problem, where your fingers reach for the wrong keys. Like me. [/ QUOTE ] On MacOSX, I just use my Microsoft Explorer Mouse. You get complete control over what's going on. It… -

Re: If want to get employed, Is it crucial for a 3d character modeler to know retopology ?
idk much but do they outsource sculpting? cause it sounds like you would fit in there perfectly, all you got to do is what you want to do, you just don't get to color it. So become a character sculptor, i see a lot of those and it has a wide range of usage apart from games. If you want games you have to follow the flow,… -
Re: Is it possible/wise to be an all-rounder?
I touched on this briefly. While I agree with your assessment, I believe it applies more to established employees than entry-level developers. Once you've already been hired and have proven yourself to be reliable, it is safe to start learning new skills. Under those circumstances your expanded skill-set will make you more… -
