Sci-fi Evironment/level WIP
Oh hai... Mostly looking for input and feedbackish stuff on this little project of mine. Modeled in 3DsMax, built up in UDK (unreal3) and textured with photoshop, mostly with RGB masks. I've been fiddling about with this for about a month worth of time (though in reality it's been in my hands for 2 months I had school… -
Re: Scary, inventive tattoo art
Busted. Back on-topic, like womens' pain thresholds were ever in any doubt. I first saw Kat's work on a DMAX show called Miami Ink, seemed like every episode they'd have these teeny cheerleader-type chicks in and they'd take these huge, multicolored tattoos like champions.

Re: The Answer to Any Question Isn't Really Very Helpful
I'm a Maya user. I love Maya, and I think it's a great tool.

Re: European court declares resale of used software licenses legal, not matter where and

Re: I know everyone hates though what should I do with my life threads
What are your 5/10/15/30 year goals? What are the obstacles between you and your goals? Do you want to work in games, or in the art industry, or ___? If you want to work as a 3d artist, would you say your familiarity with 3dsmax or [software] is what's holding you back, your personal situation, your knowledge of art… -
