Re: my first character sculpt...
No, not if you don't want to. You can use the transpose features + masking inside of Zbrush and resize if you are comfortable with smoothing the ridges out after - fine details will be lost this way, of course. Masking and then transpose + move brush = you can mess with proportions all day long. That's just how I do it… -
Re: New Game Artist but with $0 in the bank?
I'm with my parents right now. But they have it hard as it is right now. Even when I was in school, I almost never asked money from time. I tried surviving with whatever lunch money and bus fare I got. My 3DS Max is a student license so I can't sell any models. The only other program I got is Wings3D but the whole reason I… -
Re: Autodesk Fusion 360
Zbrush is designed as an all-in-one sculpting solution, so you can start with nothing and end up with a complete piece at the end. It has a very robust toolset that's designed with both organic and hard surface art in mind. Also all updates are free, there are no upgrade fees (even people that have had a license for 10+… -

Re: Adding snow to textures...?
In 3dsmax I've used a blend material (rock and snow) using falloff as a mask set to World Z, Towards/Away (so it lands on the tops of the objects). If you set it up right it will obey the bumps. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/13492996/Making-Snow-in-3d-Studio-Max This is also handy for getting dirt and dust on the tops of… -
Re: Vegetation/Tree techniques and how to make them more interessting?
You can use the branch tool in the polydraw toolbox of 3Dsmax...it allows to create branches quickly by extruding face around the trunk or whatever geo you want. That way you avoid seams if you really don't them. You can also use that tool for the smaller branch, although you'll have more control if you create 2 / 3… -
Re: When Life Gets in the way
goes without saying you need to post work and be open to crits to improve your craft. If you find yourself with 20 mins or less per day, use that time to fire up 3dsmax/maya/MSpaint and do something art related, either model a fork, a small object etc, if you manage for example to model one small object per day , that… -
Re: Maya UV Gizmo
GAK - well i wanted to upgrade to that new nvidia SSAO driver - guess its a really good reason to try it out even if i have no time for gaming really. Thanks a lot for taking the time - I just went through your folio! nice work man, but from what i see most your work was made with 3DsMax? You have much knowledge in Maya as… -
Re: Silver Bullet - System Memory 64bit Modern Programs
I'd let it go, the guy is obviously talking out his ass, and has never done anything that would push even a moderate computers boundaries. - Pitty he's never tried rendering hair/fur in 3dsmax with 2.5gb ram. I have a few scenes he would get "out of memory" errors. He'd suddenly feel the need for more ram. - Maybe he… -
