Hi guys, just getting a little practice in. This is my first attempt at a texture like this. Never done normal or spec maps before so I followed a mixture of Phillip K's tutorial and Racer 445's hand painted metal tutorial and this is what I came up with. I've also lost my pen to my wacom tablet so had to do it all with my…
Hey folks. I know a few of you have gotten into real world sculpting in the past. I'm looking at my options for different clays to work with. I'd like something that I can build around an armature so it'll need to be something with a low shrinkage rate, and something that'll harden. Super Sculpey does the job, but it's…
So I have no problem hooking up 6 textures into a maya environment cube node and then plugging that into whatever part of the shader I want it to render on, let's say the diffuse. But the mental ray environment cube doesn't seem to work at all, I put my 6 textures in, plug its out colour in the diffuse colour and it…

The Dasher - 154 tris (called it the drone originally, this is the newer name that i…
1. You don't need to. 2. My gut feeling is sticking to and learning from an online subscription course is probably a better idea, while as well, going to a local fine arts school or atelier to learn your foundational drawing skills (Stil Life, Figure Drawing, etc.). Good 3D artists can become great with strong…
I like your work man! Few things to note. 1. Lose the purple text and and purple/pink highlights around the title text. It makes it hard to read. 2. It would be better if the text under the thumbnails were not embedded in the image. Search engines won't pick up on that. 3. The About Me and Resume pages don't load anything…
I went to a bestbuy today, and just asked about the 3d TVs that they'd be bringing in. $2Gs + for the TV $450 for a single pair of glasses $?? for a specific bluray player that plays specific 3d HD movies. damn that's a lot of dough. Either way, i tried it out at the Sony showroom downtown here, and i have to say, it was a…
Is that the one with light up features or the voice? I have the light up one. NECA right? The detailing and head sculpt are amazing. I actually pre-ordered all three sideshow iron mans (men?), but recession struck and I only ended up with the Mark III. Mark I has just been released and it should complement your fenix…
