Re: Each indie game dev role's Tools Cost
UI designers typically use photoshop, illustrator, flash and scaleform (that's fading), and in some cases after effects and/or a 3d package. (Blender would be fine.) In all honesty though a good designer could switch a lot of those for free alternatives and you'd never know. You could also pay $10/mo for mudbox or $300(?)… -
Re: Exporting UVs out of modo
I've run into weirdness with this a few times. Make sure to run your mesh cleanup, and have clean uv's throughout your mesh. Also, try exporting an fbx with your UVs named with default 'Texture'.

Re: Viking game character - BA project, looking for crits
DDuckworth: 25k for a character model in next gen games these days is practically the norm. Uncharted 2 was using 80k character models. It IS ridiculous in my opinion, but thats more of a stylistic preference. Veneficus: Looks good so far, you might want to look at some more reference for the front and sides of his neck.… -

J0420 - I paint kind of like Bobo the Seal, he's got plenty of tutorials on his site if you want to… -
