Hi guys, I'm glad to see this thread around from the times I wasn't a polycounter yet. Thanks to Bitmap for starting it and to all of you who hanged around. I don't know how to say how much I strive for information about users experience with IllusionCatalyst. I requested good time lapses references (here) to see how…
Shader coding is a very specific field in itself often with its own quirky languages and requirements, you'd usually have a specific programmer or TD for that job. I wouldn't imagine it's common for any artist to need to know shader code for employment, although it's a very good skill to have - most engines will have…

Hiya , I am an art student working towards hopefully becoming a concept artist one day. when it comes to general drawing and perspective I feel very comfortable when it comes to drawing figures and isolated objects and props such as vehicles and props etc. My main weakness has always been drawing environments and…
I posted this originally on reddit but I'm posting it here too. I am working on a character rig that is driven by animated textures and I am running into problems with the layered texture node. Here's some gifs to help you understand what I'm trying to do: http://gph.is/2vBPB4S http://gph.is/2vBkCGq What I am trying to do…
