Thanks for the help tracking that down Joopson! So to clarify. Officially the script is broken in maya 2014 because they have the default set to degrees (Go figure they actually did something right :P). I'll have to make a separate version to fix the issues that come along with that. Its on its way. I added what I want to…
Second the "fewer, larger textures" call. Also second the "Duplicate objects" call. That could assist you particularly in the fence where you have those complex designs. It looks like you've unwrapped and mapped each one of those diamond designs individually. Much more economical to only create and unwrap one, then…
Oh, I know that the CAD programs can be very useful. I have used Fusion360 extensively. In recent years there was a trend in 3D concepting to use CAD+rounded edge(evolution of using Dynamesh for concepting) funny that you mention Vitaly. He spent half of his life using Max booleans. :) And yes, of course they can be…
Imo it repeats the very same mistakes 3d max does in regards of how users are supposed to interact with the soft. I mean buttons and check-boxes. More complex it became more of a mess it would be. I would expect form a new soft to be rather a collection of best ideas than just a simple clone. Imo modern soft should be…
Yeah. You need some shotgun shells now, haha. An idea for scene composition might be to have the shotgun open on a side table or something with some cleaning items around it. About the gun, I think the materials are on par with everything else so far but the modeling is not. The butt stock lacks theh subtle tapering on the…
Hello, my name is Parag Lavande. I am a freelance 3D Modeller, Digital Sculptor and Digital artist. I work on all three organic(character), inorganic(architectural) as well as stylized(cartoon) modelling along with fine texturing skills. My deep knowledge in anatomical study and painting gives my work that final aesthetic…
It's like the Wild Wild West, it makes things kind of fun and interesting at times. That's why I came here to open up this thread: You guys all have tons more experience than I do. That makes this site a super valuable resource to someone like me. I've taken 8 weeks of modeling, 8 weeks of animation, and now 8 weeks of…
To some extent, I still think like the box robot even though I'm very well aware of all the nasty shit that goes in this industry. Maybe it's because I'm still young and didn't have a chance to work in the biz yet, maybe it's because in a way I've always been a bit naive and detached from the cold, bad reality. But…
[ QUOTE ] What are you guys talking about? XP home was $99 (vista is 199) XP Pro was $199 (vista is 299). Thats a $100 increase in price for a operating system I have seen/used that really isnt all that different. [/ QUOTE ] First off, you're completely wrong about the prices. They are the same exact prices. It was $99 for…
This is the first proper face I am attempting to model so some of the usual procedures are particularly important in this case. Had to pay close attention to the major edgeloops around the mouth, nose and eyes for the retopology and uniform uv distribution with hidden seams. Please let me know if you spot any critical…
