Re: Weekly Substance Challenge
You might want to try something like this... start with a larger shape, that already has some falloff like a PRABOLOID. Use a TRANSFORM node to OFFSET it slightly in X, then use either another TRANSFORM or a SYMMETRY node (in my case I have my own symmetry node) to mirror the offset shape across the Y axis. It will… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
I don't think I've ever had that error, but I've seen many new users come up with a variety of bizarre problems and it is almost always a result of user error. If you don't know what's going on then it's easy to do things that Maya doesn't like and that crap builds up over time and can screw up your scene. Keep your… -
Re: Who's excited that Alice in Chains has a new album coming out?

Re: (WIP) Hero Prop Asset Game ready Guillotine
Coming along nicely. Some parts look great, others seem a bit lazy. E.g. the dirt on the wood is too uniform and the wood grain and dirt is also continuing through elements that would normally be built from separat pieces like the base or the stairs and the grain has unexpected directions. Inner and outer edges could use… -
Re: Advice with secondary forms
"Essentially, I need to focus on building the forms/shapes and let them determine how the edges turn out?" Yeah I think that's a good way to put it! Really this comes down to building up your observation skills, picking up on subtle form changes. One exercise that helped me a lot was doing straight copies of 3d scans,… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it

I can understand the desire to confirm a bias that results in positive emotional response, in this case an individuals desire to keep something good coming their way while assuming or not wanting to believe its not having any negative impact.

How does it all come together?
