Re: 3DS max cut tool problem
Yeah there is a lot of triangulation going on in that 13 sided ngon. You can help the cut tool by carrying the trigger guard loops up and over the top. You can also try cutting from the bottom up but more than likely it's going to mess up. There are a lot of ways for it to triangulate that ngon and it has no idea what your… -
Re: Modular or single mesh building 3ds Max?
always go modular :) that way, for example, you could build one of the few different types of windows and place them wherever rather than rebuilding them every time. That means youll only have to build one mesh, unwrap it once, texture it once rather than doing them repeatedly. Same goes for the buildings, they're all very… -
Re: Portfolio - Jake Steininger (Character Artist)
Well, Flash is cool but you can have some issues with portfolios. - Search engine have issues with embedding texts and images from Flash sites, which isn't good for SEO - Upgrade version. Some people, like recruiters, maybe they don't have the lastest version of Flash and your Flash website is last generation, and they… -
Re: Sculpt multi res or low poly base mesh?
I'd say it depends a bit on what you are making. Ideally you want to sculpt from a perfect base mesh made for sculpting then retopo/rebuild a optimized low poly mesh that doesn't lose any of the silhouette and bakes well. Attempting to uprez a optimized low poly mesh and sculpt on it usually doesn't lead to the smoothest… -
Re: Introducing the NEW Lara Croft
i think she looks very very boring and generic. I liked the old version from lara croft better characterwise but was outdated and to unrealstic ( c´mon girls with that boobies cant run aroung all the time and climb and swing and do this extreme sporty activities). I would like to keep the old look, rebuild it and push some… -
Re: Shell Modifier equivalent for Maya...
I'll take that back :( I get really weird results because of the whole "smooth" thing, but again if I set it to "linear" I loose the taper-options (aargh!) Using "smooth+curve" creates a degree 5 curve, but rebuilding that curve to linear didn't help. Edit again: Just found this:… -
Re: Base Head Sculpt
Am i so old that i can remember those days before sculpting apps? Yes i do agree that sculpting a box in mud or Z will help improve your artistic skills (faster than traditional modeling) but dont leave technical aspect aside, it's just as important. I agree with Phil: use and abuse this one, it's better than a box because… -
Re: Best way to look at your own texture work
yea i remember that being an issue for people, but im pretty sure mine have been set at 1024 for while, regardless though, it still appears drab even when rendered, unless this setting affects it there too. damn itd be great if it were just some setting in maya and not just my underdeveloped skills *dream on* well holy… -
Re: Autodesk Launches 3ds Max 2009
lmao professor, that's AWESOME. If you can get that online that'd be tight, but I'd settle for a local-only random image solution Cool new about max 2009 - though I'd like to see some issues fixed in Max2008. I've been using 2008 for a few weeks now and I like it, albeit a few small issues. I want Autodesk to rebuild max… -
Volt and Battle Suit
Artstation I started this project from this concept I painted here: Volt is basically a living ball of energy that powers his mechanical suit to thrive in various terrains. So this design is all-purpose and humanoid. I started with his real body: Once I had that I moved into blocking out the mech in Maya then brought that…
