Re: learn animating : need help
Yea that Idleworm tutorial is great. You'll find that a lot of 2D traditional animation knowledge applies to 3D. Richard Williams book "The Animators Survival Kit" is for 2D artists but I haven't found an 3D animator yet that hasn't read it or been helped by it. His thoughts and examples on walk cycles are great. I… -
Re: [UDK] Small Fantasy Environment
@Rapture117 - Thanks man! The scene is running in UDK. As far as techniques I used for making the scene, I used 3dmotive's advanced mesh paint tutorials as a jumping off point and then tailored the materials to my needs for the floors and walls. The zbrush modeling wasn't anything very complicated, for the floor tiles and… -
Re: Answered: Why Quixel Suite?
Hi Plum! I'm hardly unbiased here (although I did start working at Quixel because I love the software, not because I was recruited to say good things about it) but I'll answer as best as I can. Obviously I can't (and won't) comment on competitor software just because it's not my place. 1. Of course! NDO allows you to 3D… -
Re: Starting the BASE MESH
Do what you said with zspeheres or anything really (a sphere or whatever), grabbing and pulling the mesh into the shape you want and using dynamesh when you need to get even mesh resolution or want to merge things quickly, then when you have your form down, retopo in zbrush automatically with qremesher.

Re: Ideas
I'm not sure if you'll find any serious responses for a few reasons. For starters, basically everybody in the games industry has tons of ideas for games and so it seems kind of odd to see somebody who is probably taking a class on game development but has no ideas. Second, there's always the whole "if I give out my idea,… -

Re: Teesside University, Masters in Game Art

Re: Building skeletons for Motionbuilder (3ds max)
On http://www.3dbuzz.com you can find some good video tutorials about motionbuilder. They show how to export a skeleton from Maya and charcterize it in Motionbuilder. The tutorials deal with motionbuilder version 4, but I think it still the same process. Basically its the same procedure from Max to Motionbuilder. I don´t… -
Re: Please help me improve my textures
What software are you using to model? Found a great article for baking right inside max, but even if you aren't it's still a great resource to read. https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/tutorials/tips-creating-perfect-normal-maps-every-time As a max user, when I'm doing PBR metal / roughness workflows for unreal I find baking…
