Hello! Variable State is looking for a contract animator to work on Virginia. The start date is flexible, to begin any time between now and September, and will last for 6 months. Applicants should ideally be based in Ireland, or failing that the UK. This is a fixed term contract and will not lead to a full time position…
Hi everyone, This is my first post, I was willing to do an introduction but right now I'm in a bit of an emergency for a class project. I'm a student so forgive if I'm asking obvious things. I've done some research but I can't seem to find any solution. Here goes the issue: I've modeled a character and a friend has done…
Hey guys, On the project I am working on right now I found myself going back and forth to the Maya Grid Options quite a lot. After a while I found it really tedious and time consuming. At the same time I find the window size way too big (and it also shows too many options that you set once and then you forget about): so…

Hi all- I've been on the forum a while now but haven't to date posted any work. Well, all that's about to change! I'm currently working as a primary school teacher, but am looking to change careers and work in 3D for games as this is my passion (or obsession, if my wife is to be believed). The following images represent…
After watching the film Moon, (Great movie btw, definitely check it out if you haven't done so already!) I have decided to take it upon myself to create a mini-environment from the film as a strong portfolio piece. I plan on using the UDK engine to implement the scene. I've wanted to make a sci-fi environment for awhile…

Hello Polycount! Here is an article/tutorial I wrote yesterday and basically it's about creating a turbulent-like movement for particles without using a vector field or similar. It felt better reposting it here rather than just linking to my website (good or bad idea? layout got worse). I'd love to hear your thoughts, if…
@99499 Really generalizing here but... In the late 90's and early 2000's (back when I started with game mods) there was the diffuse workflow. Diffuse is the color texture with static highlights and shadows painted in. It was really common to use photo mashups as a base texture and paint over everything to unify the static…
I'm going to sound like a Max fanboi which is weird considering I use Maya more these days... Ok... You gathered wrong info or haven't been paying attention. It sounds like you don't use max all that often so I can understand not knowing or not caring. If you have a list of specific features that we could talk about that…
