Hi Guys, another newbie here... Basically I am a 21 year-old student who has just blown a portion of his savings on a new desktop to replace a laptop killed by hours of modelling. I tried to create a system that would give me as much power, and longevity without buying a dedicated 3d workstation (because I couldn't justify…
Hello, I'm currently producing a landscape for a folio piece, and i've been following this tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=NAJhppttJgI&t=523s whilst incorporating my own knowledge and techniques from other videos etc. The issue i'm having is although i've produced my own advanced landscape material and it paints effectively…
Hi all, I'm currently in the planning stages for a turn based game for PC, and am looking to make contact with a 3D character modeller and get a feel for the prices being charged. I appreciate that it's a difficult question, but I was wondering if based on the image and information below, if you might give a price estimate…
Hi all, I'm looking at designing some environments with 3Ds Max and I'm expolring my options for a game engine, UDK or Cryengine. Do you have to buy the first Crysis to get cryengine 2/sandbox editor?.. or is it available to the public for download? Is cryengine 2/sandbox editor the same thing? Does it only allow you to…
Hi all, would like to ask something which I have been trying to find for quite some time and that would be finding one to one mentorship for doing 3D environment. As I am a really slow learner, I have been trying to find a mentor that is able to mentor me on a one to one basis for stuff for improving my portfolio and using…
Thank You. After four full working days of hand-wringing and research I've finally caved: I cannot solve this problem on my own. Apologies if this has been covered, but I really cannot find a solution anywhere. I cannot figure out what's causing the artifacts in the 1st normal map above. Viewed in DirectX/Stingray 3DSMax…
I expect threads like this already exist but I cant find any after a quick search. So i'll start one. I was made redundant from a games company a few weeks ago...BOOOO! So i've been looking at my options. Applying for other jobs and putting out the word that i'm also available for freelance work. I've had a few replies but…
Not sure although I think I am looking at the some kind of humongous violent Crystalline result? ( I was doing research on the sprawling network of tubes that go on forever in the industrial refineries in and around Houston ) take a gander please at the following Google earth link in 3D! ( as much as I ctrl click orbit the…
Honest query! if it's... so as a hard surface modeler, I'd also want to see this tool's functionality demo mechanical objects as well rather than just figurative UVW operations, your product page for this app currently displays?
@TypicalMale To elaborate, I'm only curious because at a glance your topology in my opinion had indicated either 'high flow' (high to low) or probable midpoly (hybrid trim sheets) baking methodology and as an aside personal preference nowadays I tend to lean toward the latter, when generating mostly static large scale HS…
