Importing multiple meshes(SMD's) with MESA
I'm struggling with what I fear is a very easy-to-fix and rudimentary problem. I've googles around and looked at puppet-masters own tutorials but regarding this they are all "to be continued". I've set up everything and have gotten to the part where I can import a reference in MESA (Maya2014) and it builds the model fine.… -
Concept art wanted
For a while now I've been putting together ideas for a tutorial, but I think it would be much easier if I pulled it all together and released it as a biggy - perhaps in sections.

Tips on getting rid of Normal Maps seams?
Hello, I'm having a problem that is slightly driving me mad. I've spent all day trying to eliminate the big seams on my model to no avail.

Journey of an (Almost) Absolute Noob in 3D
Hi everyone. I suppose I'll introduce myself. I am not currently an aspiring environment artist nor am I currently in school.I'm 25 and active military and have been for several years now. Currently my position in 3D sits somewhere between a pipe dream and "maybe when I retire". I simply want to get better with every… -
Maya or Zbrush for accessory modeling
I've been trying to think of a way to phrase this question without it sounding dumb, but unfortunately it is somewhat dumb. However, I'm curious what the community input is between these two programs as it pertains to modeling accessories. I've seen multiple tutorials now using Zmodeler to make accessories for characters,… -
