Hi there, I thought I'd share some of the art for a recent game me (Artist) and a friend (Programmer) decided to make. It took us way too long to make (1.5 years), we initially started off mucking around in unity not knowing what to do and somehow we managed to blindly grope our way onto iTunes. Its 1.5 years I'll never…

So i've finally been figuring out how to do normal baking in maya for hard surface stuff, and other non character stuff where the work is preferred in maya because its far more acurate. My problem is this, i made a column, very low poly, and a high poly which is pretty much just the same model but with nice smooth beveled…
I've been having some issues with the grid settings in Max and Maya. I want to set the grid settings so sending meshes over to UDK will be to scale. I've read that if the grid were something like 2 cm per grid it'll be one Unreal Unit. These settings must also match sending stuff back and forth between Max/Maya, which I…
Hello guys. I appear to have an issue with the Maya veiwport. My mesh will not display no matter what mode i'm in. It's completely blank with no mesh in sight, yet the HUD is still giving me a tri count. I have noticed that all my other veiwports are working just fine but framing the object won't fix the issue, therefore I…
Hello everyone! :) So I recently decided that I want to focus on Environment Art. I also found out about modular environment creation, but I am confused when it comes to texturing... As far as modular environment creation goes, it seems to be a process to create lego-like models that you can reuse over and over again to…
Hello Polycount! Just recently I decided to start learning 3D-modeling so I'm still a newbie. I'm using Maya 2012 and so far I've started off by getting fimiliar with the most basic tools like extrude, cut, merge, setting up image planes etc. 3 days ago I begun modeling my first "real" model which is a F4 Phantom. This has…
At uni I am currently working on a comical spy game set in 1981. I wanted to show some progress on the games intro. This is an MI6 office for "Professor Steambolt" who is the creator of our main character, the spy robot known as Cognito. I would show you our intro animatic but our university website is down as per…
Hey guys, Ive been researching this for a few hours and have not found a solution yet, so Im turning to the awesome knowledge of the community at large. My snaps in max 2012 are broke. Now, I know they dramatically changed the way snap works in 2011, and I understand how the new system works... Been using it without issue…
So here's the deal. I live in Korea and as I was looking up parts for my new computer rig, I found a killer display for super cheap. They are under a few different names but basically(from my research) these are rejected apple cinema displays in a different stand and casing. This guy in the video talks about them some here…
