Re: Am I stupid? (Serious qeustion) School stuff
I went to the Ai of Washington, then I transferred to another Art Institute (Pittsburgh). GET OUT OF AIW NOW! If the facilities (or lack thereof) didn't scare you off, the fact that its 80k should (plus I think the tuition lock in was gone, so you're going to a shit school for a SHIT TON of money). If you HAVE to go to an… -
Re: Any tips for normal mapping curved surface?
Micky: In max, by default if you're using a cage, your cage should be "averaged" or "welded", unless you have a really old version of max, or your edges are actually split instead of just using hard edges(smoothing groups). To get unwelded results you have to go into the bake options and click "use offset" this will use… -

Re: Call of Duty Ads Called Misleading
Toomas, watch the first videos, then watch the german engine demonstration, then the supposed ps3 hardware vid, then the screenshots. The screenshots dont have the same lighting, apear less detailed world and vehicle wise. I see lower poly counts, less shaders, lack of realtime sub surface fake, looks like they removed… -
Re: Building detailing
if all edges are flat and with sharp edges the normal wont pick up anything in my experience, itll read as a flat surface. Your AO bake will remedy some of this, though. But honestly, with a solid LP cage on this, itll bake nicely. Those smaller surface details will be fine, and the larger ones should be geometry anyway.… -
Re: Environment Art 101 - What would you like to learn?
I agree it would be useful to see some tutorials to create trees without SpeedTree. I just posted a topic asking about this here: https://polycount.com/discussion/225416/do-people-still-create-trees-like-this#latest I think as a beginner it's difficult to understand the workflow of how to create an environment from… -
Re: QuadRemesher : new auto-retopo plugin for Maya, 3DSMax, ...
Hi @PollySong and @Isaiah Sherman I plan to maintain UVs in the next version of QuadRemesher. That said, depending on the input mesh different technics must be used: Let's consider your existing UV seams as an edge selection. The big question is: In the retopo mesh, can you get edge loops on ALL these UV-seams edges path… -
Re: What would you be looking for in a Mentor who helps you get into the industry?
I'm currently not working in the games industry and only have around 3 years of experience, but I occasionally dedicate some time to mentor students who want to become good in 3D art. Aside from having industry experience and an amazing portfolio, I think a good mentor must have excellent interpersonal skills to… -
Re: Marvellous Designer - Help with baggy clothing.
Great you are enjoying it! I reckon you can get more of what you want in MD tho. Just have to make your clothing baggier. The parts that are wrinkled are to large for the form. So make the trousers longer than the leg and thicker. You can edit the pattern and run a simulation, and by using pins you can alter how the… -
Re: Using/Utilizing others' concept art for my portfolio!
Isn't it like the one who shot a foto is also the one having all the rights? So basically if I took one as an inspiration for a scene it would also be the guy I'd have to ask for permission to use it.. but that's simply impossible sometimes.. especially if it's like 15 different objects mashed together in a scene.. it's so…
