BOOK POST: Codex Seraphinianus reprint
Kind of a modern day Voynich Manuscript, the Codex Seraphinianus is getting a reprint on Oct. 29th. I only found out about this book in the last few months but I love weird stuff, maybe it's a mutation from too much Escher & Dali exposure as a child. The price isn't too shabby either:… -
Re: Backpack- Project
Hi everyone!! This week I’ve been working on a solid blockout of the backpack to get the hard-surface parts right and establish a good foundation for the more organic parts. That way, I can transfer them to ZBrush confident that the proportions are correct. There’s still work to be done in ZBrush, but here’s a sneak peek… -
Re: Sketchbook: <Digo>
In my sketches, I'm trying to do some quick projects, but I like to see them through to the end. I hate not finishing my projects, so I like to do small things sometimes that don't require dozens of steps to complete. Sometimes I just want to make a pretty render with good lighting, experimenting. I like those things.… -
Composite material node Blender cycles??
I was wondering if anyone here who uses Blender has ever come across a custom material node probably made by someone that allows you to blend up to 10 materials and mix them using masks. Like Vray Blend materials? Because currently Blender mix shader only allows you to mix 2. This is very useful for very complex shaders… -

Re: UDK COMING TO iOS this Thursday!!!
Apple also adds a few mb after you submit the app. Our game Santas Delivery was around 45-50mb before we gave it to apple. It is now a 60mb file from the appstore. This doesn't always work so well. We did this for our first released game and our WIP game Espionage. LOTS of work needed to "port". I can only comment on Unity… -
How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
Been integrating Meshy and Tripo outputs into UE5 pipelines for a while now and the generation step is no longer the problem — topology and textures come out reasonably usable for props and background assets. The problem is everything between export and the asset actually being in the project correctly. My current manual… -
Ditching Geometry Caches for Maya-to-Unreal Lattice Rigs
Wanted to drop a quick pipeline piece we did solving a data-bloat problem. We needed a reusable, highly deformed eye rig setup for a stylized project, but relying on geometry caching to bake out the lattice deformations was killing our data foot print. We’ve shared a quick, high-level teaser of the rig over on LinkedIn if… -
Re: Smooth Curvature node making weird gradients
Hi there, make sure that your node Curvature smooth has a tilling in repeat mode on both axis, either with the node itself by forcing it to absolute, or by setting up the node just before. This node doesn't work if the tilling hasn't been setup correctly. -
Max + Python (the second coming)
After a long downtime, Blur have re uploaded their Python plugin for Max/XSI. http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/ This is awesome as not only can you access the whole maxscript API from python but the reverse is also available. Say you want to do some work with regular expressions in mxs or perhaps you want to make some…
