Re: 3DCoat Mega Thread
I personaly feel fine with these (and I'm not a dev at all, but a simple artist who uses mostly 3dsMax, 3DCoat, Akeytsu, ZBrush, UE4, MT3, PS). I think that once you get the logic of a software, then you can truly use it at its fully potential and make constructive & solid feedbacks on it. I also think that if a software… -
Re: Houdini Engine for UE4 Beta starts in April!
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
SideFX is not as big company as Autodesk or Dassault Systems, so they have limited resources. It's a private company, not corporation. UE4 implementation is made by Microsoft. Insomaniacs made they own implementation for their engine. Cinema4D implementation is made by Maxon itself. Right now they still didn't showed… -
Re: Tyn's Workshop
Had another go at this. This is the new geometry and the sculpt to go along with it. I've run into a major issue though, i'm hoping someone can give me some advice. The border where the horn fits on the head have shifted while sculpting. Easy enouth to fix in 3dsmax but I have no idea how to do it in zbrush and if I do it… -
Re: W.I.P. Uni Project - "The Boy"
Ok so here is the firest few bits of progress I've made on my boy model; First up the viewport images i'm using (roughly), Next up, some WIP shots of the body/head getting blocked out, Ok so as mentioned this is what I've blocked out so far - I know there is quite a lot of refinements to do but I feel it is a good start.… -
Re: Changing multiple TCB values
For Biped Keyer, I think if you drag and drop the mzp file into the max viewport it will install the files where they need to go but you have to restart 3dsmax for it to take effect. If it doesn't the .mzp file is just a renamed zip file so you can open it with anything that opens a zip file, extract the icons. Jim Jagger… -
Re: Yet another sci-fi corridor
I'm not sure where I initially heard it from. It's an easy way to get soft edges akin to those gotten with normal maps by adding geometry close to where you want your smooth bevel and making the new 2 faces be part of it's own smoothing group (3dsmax)/ setting the edge's line to smooth edges (maya). That way it's easy to… -
Re: [3DSM] Weird shadows with common renderer, skylight and light tracer.
Have you a standard material applied? You said you were doing a clay render bake, are you baking this to a texture? Or is the shot you posted just a render? I would check the vertex normals. Throw on a Edit Normals modifier, change the length so that you can see the normal line to each vert (sometimes they are very long… -
Re: 3ds Max - Difference between 2016 & 2018
That's big jump. - Arnold Renderer - BiFrost Liquid - Spline Tools - VIewport is a lot faster. I mean really a lot http://cganimator.com/3ds-max-2017-fastest-3ds-max-ever/ - Sub-Object manipulation i a lot faster. - UV Editor is faster. New Packing, New Peeling - TrackView speed up. New keytools and features - MCG has many… -
Re: What is (or was) your biggest problem or obstacle in becoming CG artist?
Early on, it was about the limited choice of free software (being cool in the industry owning/ or napstering 3dsmax/maya weren't viable options on just ambitions for hobbyist game addons). I was bashing cylinders in Milkshape/Breeze together until something of substance arrived for free in which I started doing things by… -
Re: Falling, with style! (Animation)
Wow, tell your girlfriend a big thanks, Bardler. That was a lot of helpful points!! I did my best to address all these points and improve upon them. The only thing I couldn't fix was the part where the rig looks broken--there's a weird problem I've found with the 3DSmax biped where once you rotate the main biped piece, the…
