I doubt this will have much effect on performance but maybe?. It would be easy enough for you to bake with the various options and simply time it. Really if "inside then out" provides the best results thats what you should use. One of the biggest reasons that Maya is slow is that(atleast the version i used, 2008 ) is that…
Just finished the pistol model! unoptimised he is roughly 1.5k tris using a 1024 diffuse. I will probably come back to him once I have done the other 2 weapons! as I will learn more as I get more done, also I will probably need to unify them somewhat. daphz: Thanks man! LOOOOOVE the texturing on the new guy you did! Ben:…
As much as I would love to be able to purchase regular updates of full commercial 3D apps, the fact of the matter is that I'm not wealthy enough to afford such an expense, especially when my skills of a modeler aren't helping to pay my mortgage. Got to prioritize, and hundreds of dollars for software that earns me no money…
Hello all, this is an update on the sculpt. I've been PolyCount forums for a month now but haven't had the time to post and I realise you guys are pretty strict at critcising art and such. But it's for the better ofc. =] Now, this is the sculpt so far. If you notice it says "Inspired" that means I was going for something…

Matroskin: Will turn it down a bit, and thanks for the job info that's very cool of you. =] will try and apply for sure. thewiruz: sure thing, will do that the next time I update this post.…
I wrote this on Shacknews but figured it'd apply to this thread. It's in regardless to Valve's business model and how it revolves around short development cycles, more specifically episodic releases: We won't be seeing a full-on Single player title from Valve for a while (like, 4-5 years'ish). They're set on small…
Thanks all for the replies...appreciated... Darksun: cheers... Rage: the hips are wider than what you may have expected, cos' I have seen too many of the perfect physique minotaur's over and over again..I'm just a bit bored with that really...I'm going for the type that is of more mass, a powerful beast with bulk...…
Here's something I thought I'd never be saying but went ahead and installed Z3 and must say after installing it I was satisfied with how easy it was to work with. I was just playing around with it and the sculpt isn't nothing special but I was happy to be able to design something in this app. Really wanted to include…
If they are left handed don't go with the Intuos A6. They will trip the touch strips with their hand constantly if they drag their hand on the tablet, which most new users do. If they are already an arm painter and don't drag their hand the canvas might be too small for their strokes. I doubt they'll use the touch strips…
