ZBrush object import and mirroring UVs
I'm having a hard time understanding how certain steps work when importing objects into ZBrush and how it detects changes made, and what options it gives me upon detecting those changes.

Re: Why has there not been another Olympic style contest between forums for years now?
The decline in comps over the years IS a sad thing. However, it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise. Like others here, I'll just speculate on the reasons why. 1. To maintain any interforum comp, you actually need other sites with which to compete. The global art community just isn't filled with a lot of forums these… -
Re: What should I do in future? Can I get work VISA without degree?
Hi kunalht, I can give you my personal series of study references. Keep in mind it is my own study path, not what every TA should know. As a matter of fact "technical artist" is quite a blurry definition, they can be more art oriented: artists who can script a bit, or more code oriented: coders who write tools for the 3D… -
Re: SSS Shaders
For those who are interested, here is a description of my current setup. First I take my normal map into Photoshop and create two versions of it.

Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
To avoid derailing Adam's thread I'm moving this discussion over here. I'll tackle these one at a time. These 3 are somewhat linked. To really answer this we need to talk about image formats and bit depth, so this is going to get a bit computer sciency, but read through it. We're all better artists for knowing how our… -
Re: Kotaku: Pissed Off Employees Bash Pretty Much Every Major Video Game Company
1st you assume thing about my job and the way I see advancement that aren't true. I really like my job, the company is small enough that I can jump around and wear a lot of hats if I want to.
