Coming along nicely. Some parts look great, others seem a bit lazy. E.g. the dirt on the wood is too uniform and the wood grain and dirt is also continuing through elements that would normally be built from separat pieces like the base or the stairs and the grain has unexpected directions. Inner and outer edges could use…
"Essentially, I need to focus on building the forms/shapes and let them determine how the edges turn out?" Yeah I think that's a good way to put it! Really this comes down to building up your observation skills, picking up on subtle form changes. One exercise that helped me a lot was doing straight copies of 3d scans,…

I disagree with Scott (candystripe). As you seem to know, your attention should be on finding a job and polishing your portfolio, not learning a skill (web coding) that has nothing to do with your field. And, even if you were to spend a week doing nothing but coding and learning, you're still probably not going to produce…

My max has a bug where if I move an edge, it crashes... has happened across several scenes for several days completely unrelated to each other.
