Re: 3d Viking Character critique
I can see how much work you're putting in to this and he's looking good! But your render is definitely letting you down. I am in the same boat and have been spending some more time trying to work on better renders for presentation. I know how it feels seeing it looking good in Substance but not in Marmo :tongue: First… -
Re: Buy 3DSMax 2016 or rent it?
it depends on how heavily invested you are already in 3ds max. at least, i would not recommend it for a new starter nowadays. it does seem on the retreat and since the work is only ever getting more complex and pipelines become all the more important, you can bet that maya, the standard for all the automated and animation… -
Re: Freelance Rates and Budgeting Tool
Sorry for my harsh post. But I am kinda shocked how someone with 15 years experience can post something like this. I would have understood if a junior posts those rates, at least then you can explain why he is really wrong with those and open his eyes. No idea how Michael made a living so far, I guess with pirated… -
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Maybe so, but look up the fiasco currently going underway for a SINGLE map, and then say it. I mean seriously, for a single map, Treyach or Activsion is essentially fucking everyone over in more ways then one, both the people who pre-ordered the games and those who don't have the map. Lets us remove the map because it's… -
Re: MP5K - Critiques Appreciated
Alright, so I've been tweaking things here and there on the Highpoly, mainly the grip area, and any surface details I may have forgotten. Grip - Quick screen grab from Maya - Adjusted the scale of the flashlight, as well as the grip area to (hopefully) more accurately represent my reference. The Ejection port - This part… -
Re: 3d Mouse, Worth it?
Its a neat tool, but I personally don't like using them. My main gripe with them is simply that its another thing you use in your hand that controls the camera but not much else. Most camera controls are tied to your mouse buttons and commonly used keys like CTRL and ALT, but these buttons also control commonly used tool… -
Re: Sketchbook: Peris
Your work is pretty solid overall and the criticism I'm about to give you is more of an impression of some of your speed sculpts and not a general statement on your portfolio. Basically I'm noticing that many of your images have a point of focus where the action is occurring - let's call this the object, and then a very… -
Re: Alchemy - An experimental open source drawing app
rooster, Just to follow up on the speed thing, I spent some time investigating OPENGL over the last couple days and did some tests. Unfortunately it looks like to tessellate (turn a vector shape into a poly mesh) is slow. So, for the next release I will be implementing a 'flatten' button (to rasterise the canvas) and give… -
Re: Normal map compression and channel packing
I had a job interview yesterday, specifically for a Technical Artist position. One of the questions I was asked was if I had "failed" at something, a situation were I didn't meet the expectations (in the relevant area). I wasn't prepared and I honestly couldn't recall any specific instance, so I started grasping for straws… -
Re: any tutorials on grouping and spreading out vegetation realistically
Unfortunately, I have not managed to cover the aspect of placing the foliage in the 3dmotive tutorial. The general idea for getting fairly decent placement of vegetation is to try and group the foliage in a ramp-like shape. What I mean by that is that you start with the largest objects and then add smaller objects around…
