Dealing with uninspired, unwilling, and untalented individuals
So this issue has come up for myself and a few other colleagues recently. I like a few others here (i suppose) are currently at university getting a degree in the game-art field. Although the university sucks (too late to quit), the one good thing is i feel motivated because my major has its own private computer lab to… -
Re: Zbrush Texture > CropandFill Issue
Yea I cleared the canvas after I used GrabDoc. I tried in Edit Mode and not in Edit Mode. That is the strange thing. If I use the flat material and then GrabDoc... the CropAndFill comes out fine. Like it's pure white. With no color "overlay." But if I GrabDoc with any other material and then CropAndFill it has that red hue. -
Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -

[Maya] Controlling a shader network?
So I'm going to be doing sprite renders in Mental Ray for a while and wrote some custom shader networks in the Hypershade. On one, I have 12 or so attributes around the network that need to be set per surface/asset. What I want to do is have an easy collection of them, so I don't need to dig through the hypershade each… -
Re: Underwater Sci-fi Lab Interior (feedback welcome)
Yeah, the strong underlighting creates a really cool effect. I was inspired by The Abyss, which has a similar lighting on the Deep Core platform, but my version ended up pretty subtle to draw more attention to the workbench, but I now realize I may have over corrected. I have a caustic effect on the moonpool light that I… -
Re: Baking Problem in SP (Modelled in Max)
@michaelarby glad it was solved, i tend to give a crap about people not being "robbed", so if you could now remove your work from the post since this is solved can eliminate some predatory person/s from claiming the piece and using it for their own means and profit. I'd like a script if possible where this would be done… -
Maya lock object selection toggle script
Hi guys and gals ! I made a small script that locks an object for editing, while keeping every other object on screen for reference. It's a toggle so it works with just one click and throws you into component edit mode when activated and then back in object mode when deactivated. I've attached the script and you can just… -
Re: Best way to embed video on your own site?
its more about the player and the crap that comes with it - I just hate apple for that, which is putting a raped version of Quicktime on the windows platform. Luckily some browsers are starting to implement video playback (firefox, chrome, opera to name a few) with either MPEG4 (needs license though for the browser… -
Re: [Portfolio] - JoshF, Demo Reel
I'm not so sure opening with a streaming reel set to play is a good idea on your main page. I normally like the option to view a reel (or not) based on the 2D images I see first. One disadvantage is that you start spending your bandwidth right away anytime someone comes to your site. ouch... Maybe give the reel a splash…
