Montreal's rent is very affordable. I pay ~$800/month for a nice sized 2 bedroom with hot water, stove and fridge included, but, smaller places can easily be found for ~500. Though... staying in Montreal past the end of the work permit limit is a bit more difficult. (Quebec has special extra rules on immigration)
Most of the "controversy" with regards to the developers is only against a single individual of a group of twenty. As far as that in particular, we've found nothing but hearsay without proof. Legitimate critique has been addressed many times over by the group itself and other people on our site and those of people not…
The thing is I already have prepared the lod1 model before I unwrapped lod0. Took quite the effort to go from 500 to 400 triangles considering the shape of the bow. That is why I am asking if I can somehow just import the uvm from the lod0 to lod1.
I started going to the Art Institute in 2012 with the intention of becoming an Environment Artist. I only stayed there for a year and a half and I'm 50,000 in debt. That's with scholarships. I didn't make any connections there, and after watching a few tutorials, found myself knowing more than my professors did. I began to…
And here we go again! Another month, another project. This time, I'm going to be "replicating" a Mossberg 500 shotgun. There may be one or two twists depending on what I like the look of. Here's the first progress shots, as well as the reference: I'm digging how the blockout is coming along so far. I should have the…
A bunch of low poly car props for a zombie apocalypse phone game. Each model is around 300-500 polys. Method -- I blocked out the models using side profile reference images as quickly as I could in Maya 2018. Once I got the "intact" version of a vehicle done, I duplicated it twice and messed up the vertices to get a…
Looking at it too much I guess, I spent two months of my free time on this almost, so yeah. Also I didn't really have a clearly set budget so some things might've gone a bit out of sync. It's easier in production when you're told a budget that you just need to stick to. But I fixed it! Count's gone up with some 500, a bit…
Well honestly my Silo experience was extremely limited. I downloaded the trial, installed it, played with it for like 3 hours, then IIRC a big freelance job came in and I didn't have a chance to touch it again until after the trial had run out :( My impression of it was that it was a super fluid modeler very well suited to…
Scrake and I were thinking about doing the same thing for the new year event; I've been looking at the poly limits on the default and while they might not be exactly the same they should be a good rough indicator of what the poly limits would be. These are GUESSES based on the default, they will probably be slightly (or…
