Re: Work flow help
1 draw a concept. 2 draw more of it until you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve, before even touching a 3D app. 3 Pick up a 30 trial of 3DSMax. 4 Read up on primitives creation and the edit poly modifier in the help files. You can also google for the Joan of Arc tutorial series. 5 Read up on the following… -
Re: G56 concept assault rifle + accompanying video series
Aside from the useful selection tools, I would highly recommend optimize. It allows you to collapse edges and target weld verts in one tool.

Re: quinn character sculpt
Hi there! Little suggestion to help you out. Currently most of your mesh, especially the armor look kind of ''muddy'' This happens a lot when trying to work on a mesh that is too highrez. Seems like you are currently not using any basemesh and stuff that should be kind of hard surface and polished surface look very organic… -
Re: Dog Rig
It works in 2011, you just install the 2010 version and point it to the 2011 3dsmax folder. I'm not really sure if or how PuppetShop uses muscle I've never run into that feature and I've used it quite a bit. Unless he's talking about using another lumonix product? They do have some kind of muscle simulation plug-in but its… -
Re: Portfolio Piece - Help me - Textures/Cloth/Hair
Great, Thank you Eric. I will use 3dsMax' material then for that project to send to my tutors, I wish they were as helpful as any forum that is free :) Well, anyways, right now I'm learning the cloth, and I have found this forum http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88047, which might be helpful, and some more,… -
Re: Starting Fresh (Again) Software/Tool Question.
Just on the tools; Absolutely update zbrush to the latest version you can. Photoshop, you could probably go either way, but remember that CC is a subscription service; possibly worth just sticking to your copy of CS5. Nothing that you need to have in the new version anyway. For 3dsmax, I don't use it right now, but a lot… -
Re: Two Textures on One Mesh?
Do you have access to Maya? I have not tried it in 3dsmax but in maya whenever I assign two or more materials for any selected faces on the object and export it as .fbx I get two or more material for that object in unity. In maya you don't need to set ID for faces you just select them and assign the material. I do it all… -
Re: Wrist is starting to hurt pretty bad, need a new (ergonomic) mouse
I also use a wacom - I use a intuos pro at work and a wacom draw at home. I used to use an intuos 4 at home but the pen died. I've never had any problems with using them to model. You learn to use different types of input - for example; I always switch the rotate gizmo to 'circular crank' in 3dsmax as it's easier to use… -
Re: Learning to model 3D for games - where to start?
As far as 3D apps go I reckon your best bet is Blender3D. I grew up on 3DSMax and its a lovely program but Blender is free, downloads in the blink of an eye and its community keeps it up to date. Like Maya you only activate features you are using, so its startup is very streamlined. There are loads of tutorials and a great… -
Re: Starting from Zbrush for production
If you think Maya and 3DsMax are boring to use, maybe you should reconsider what industry you want to be in. But then, if you can use Zbrush to the level where you can't look at it and tell it's zBrush, and you master the retopo tools, then maybe, just MAYBE you could get by. But I don't think a studio would approve. Keep…
