Is this a thread about Stargate? I have to admit I read Sundance badmouthing B5 and display his usual opposite opinion to what I consider good cinema and tv and couldnt resist chiming in to heat things up. B5 was great, one of the best Scifi shows bar none. First season budget was awful, Claudia whats her name should have…
nightmare indeed. fortunately, there's no copyright bullshit on creating "derivative work" of military vehicles. what happened to "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" ? oh, and if copyright exerted their claws on the music industry, 100% of hip hop wouldn't exist. all the artwork of movie stars? gone. this? gone.…
It's two different approaches. You could sculpt on the smoothed version of a subdivision modeling mesh, but that's then locked at the highest subdivision you ended up using, and, like you noticed, that's quite high indeed in order to be able to sculpt freely and not run into problems (although you should still work from…
Productive in terms of game programming, 3d modeling, and/or sketching? It took me about 2 months to get myself used to constantly studying all this. If I am not on my computer fooling around, doing such practicals, I am probebly reading about them. As I read on Gamedev.net that "one must sleep, eat and breathe game…

It's more to do with studio size and regulation. once you get past a certain size you legally need HR and once you have HR you have rules about how you speak to people and they're enforced by people who are payed to not have a sense of humour
1 - can i use zbrush for retopo? or is it better to use a different application? Don't shoot yourself in the foot by attempting to retopo in Zbrush, it will just be a waste of time and you will not develop good habits from it. Retopo is first and foremost rooted in being able to build rock solid polygon geometry, and in…
Thank you! Photogrammetry can be quite approachable once you’ve practiced it enough—you can skip a lot of traditional modeling and get very realistic assets. That said, processing the scanned meshes is often the hardest part: cleaning topology, fixing artifacts, and optimizing them for real-time use. Textures also need a…
