Re: Being productive with ADD/ADHD/high-functioning autism
I think that's one of the things about ADD/ADHD, they're not symptoms exclusive to these people, they're symptoms that are much stronger and much more agressive with these people, but they're still something regular people have. So for regular people the problem is easily fixed, for people with ADD/ADHD you have to learn… -
Re: The State of the VFX Industry - Quote From Phill Tippet's AMA
This happens all the time when management is too far removed from the actual product, and it's not limited to creative industries. Basically employees A (upper management) and C (lower management) are both working 55 hours a week, so they hire employee B (middle management). A and C are now able to work 40 hours each, but… -
Re: Character Art Improvement
@JadeEyePanda Don't worry about the collar bones, already I got that fixed. The breast are loosely based off of a woman name Rosemarie Hillcrest. I'm planning on pushing them up, since they're going to be in the leotard. I found it quite illogical, if PowerGirl would have broken her back from her own breasts, but she could… -
Re: How much is Mari used?
We're getting there but not quite 2-3 day turn arounds yet. But I do think we're getting pretty close to that point. The latest Zbrush Z-remesher lets you create your lowpoly in a matter of minutes after you have your high rez done. It's amazing! For texturing in next gen I think it's going to be a lot of material library… -
Re: Changing Focus - 3d Artist to Designer
One thing that I don't think changes with the ever-updating tech in our industry is the concept of "failing fast" (an Andrew Stanton phrase I think, Ed Catmull discusses it in his book Creativity, Inc.; excellent and quick read) You're not always going to make the correct decision right out of the gate. Get something in… -
Re: Texture baking basics
Ha! I see what you mean now. So, that sort of lightning can usually be baked fairly easily with max and maya. Most of the time you will get the option to either render this to texture, or to vertices. I never actually did it in Max but in Maya look for batch bake > MentalRay, there is tons of things you can do, even… -
Re: Maya Extrude Along Curve Question
1) For curve extrusion, Moving both the curve and mesh that way gives you double transforms, hence the distortion. I'm not sure there is a straightforward fix for that. Typically you want to delete history to clear that extrusion when finished before placing (and copies) around the scene. But it looks more like you turned… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | April-May
@carvuliero Thanks for you feedback on the concepts, I understand that the concepts I choose might not be to everyone's taste so I switch it up from challenge to challenge to have a bit of variety. The previous couple of challenges (feb-mar dec-jan) where much more realistic in tone so I thought it would be nice to change… -
Re: Developer Diary - Fantasy Side Project
@Polygoblin - Thanks! Only speaking for myself, the balance has been really interesting. We're both pretty busy with our day jobs, and clearly happy with them (Jamie is an AD, I'm a lead), but I think creating our own thing has been something we've wanted to do for a very long time. Personally, it's really hard to match… -
Re: How do you motivate small, remote, rev-share teams?
yea, if you want the luxury of expecting people to get work done on time for you....you have to pay them. If you are running a rev share project you still need some investment capital (most likely your own savings) in order to get stuff done. You need to look at it as an actual business where you ask yourself what are you…
