Re: Sub D Practice Thread
So There were a few things I saw that I'd like to point out: 1. The front shape there isn't looking like the perspective hot. you've got that horizontal shape where it should be a nice bevel. The height seems a bit off as well. 2. Missing the circular shape. Also the the top rail should be skinnier than the bit where it… -
Re: Question for Prop Modelers
Yeah thats a good idea, then you can see where you're spending the most time. Rather than tell you how much time I spend, I'll break down my basic process for hard surface stuff: 1. Blockout, get the proportions sorted out with basic geometry before you commit to detailing. The more detail you do here, the more time you… -
Re: PBR texturing, is it worth it?
I have about 6-7 weeks until deadline for my work samples for my school application. So far I have gotten a pretty good understanding of modeling in Maya, sculpting in ZB, retopo in Maya, baking normal maps in Maya and xNormal and AO, Cavity and Curvature in nDo2. My next step is of course making a diffuse, spec and so… -
Re: Why is ptex not used in games?
![TorQue[MoD]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/978/n9Y8GE4KMHMJB.jpg)
Its going to be a while (probably 7+ years) before something like ptex can be used in games as one of the other members pointed out, unwrapping your models is a way to optimize poly/tri count of your models. I didn't know this until somewhat recently but the tri count of your mesh is NOT determined by the number of polys… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
It's lost because more people know about the workings of games. In the PS2 age, everyone heard the word "Multi Core" and went ape shit, with words like "Emotion Engine", and no one knew how games were made, they just thought of it as magic, especially with the younger generation they were aimed at. Now that people are more… -
Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
We're lucky in Sweden i suppose. We don't have to pay for our education but most do take out a small loan to be able to live. For example my debt as i said in a previous thread was 10-11k for 2 years. But still, it's the "same" here. Lots of people go there expecting to be rockstars in 3D and game art by the time they… -

Re: A Diorama of Cudillero
I can't say much about blender because I haven't actually used it, just heard people talking about it. Maybe its gotten better since I first got into the industry 7 years ago? But 3ds max has been a industry standard for many years now, and its not easy to switch everyone from one program to another especially when people… -
Re: Dune Desert Project [UE4]
If you're going for realism. 1. You need to create better dunes. Gather some references. I know it's hard to create nice dunes, lots of them. But that's the most important thing you should do right atm. There are tutorials on youtube showing you how to do it. 2. Sand normal maps aren't natural. Looks like as if you've used… -
Re: How many actually bought there own 3D software?
If you have no money at all, you can use programs like Wings and Blender to learn 3d without spending a cent. They're remarkably capable and the artistic concepts will transfer from program to program. If you're a student and have no money, you can join Autodesk's student site and download free 6-month trials of 3ds Max…
