Re: Game Design Certificate - Worth It?
Yeah, prototyping small projects would probably help me more overall, but I'm not a programmer. I'm an artist like most of you guys, but I am primarily working on my art as a way into a design career. Supposedly it's a leg up over all the QA people that enter development companies and try to scale the ladder to design.… -
Re: (Solved) Reducing Cylinder Sides? (3ds Max)
You could try Blender as a secondary tool. It has a few extra options beyond what MAx offers. For example it could turn top of a cylinder back to perfect shape with selecting top vertexes and hit "space" in loop tools. MAx doesn't consider them a loop for some uncertain reason with a same named tool. Unfortunately in both… -
Re: Getting a job overseas
I found it pretty easy. Phone interviews aren't uncommon any more. The assistance you get really depends on the company and in some cases also how much you're worth to them. Tip: don't move furniture ;) Some places fly you in, but often after an initial phone interview. Some companies, especially in very exotic locations,… -
Re: Understanding cages when baking a normal map
So the basic issue you have when not using a cage/averaged projection mesh with hard edges is that you will get gaps in your projection, which I'm not seeing in your example there which makes me wonder exactly what you're doing. This thread covers the issue in a lot of depth:… -
Re: Efficiency of video game art vs. movie art character pipelines
is it really appealing to have a job where you just sculpt (or texture, or....)? i tend to get worn out when working on an asset for weeks and will rejoice at any chance to work on a different aspect of it to get a fresh angle. sound horrible to just do e.g. head sculpts from scan sources - for the duration of a project.… -
Re: Freelancing with lousy internet
I'll share some advice from a director's pov if I was to hire you and your internet became an issue. 1) I work with several contractors all over the world. I have a policy that they are on Skype with a good connection to communicate with me on a constant basis. I dont need video, but I do need to connect, not just text, so… -
Re: Answered: Confused with Minimum requirement.

I will just post my solution here for future reference to those who may just stumble upon this post. 1. Quxiel only has 64 bit version. There is no 32 bit version of Quixel. 2. Quxiel need 64bit Photoshop to operate… -
Re: Dota 2 + Marmoset Toolbag 2, interest level?
Saw few artist working with Toolbag 2 and was super excited about this. Despite all options that are here discussed what I am really looking forward to are more purchase options in your web-store. That probably will not come any soon but it would be awesome to pay by bank transfer and be able to get invoice with more data… -
Re: [Weekly Theme 2] Locomotion
@Arturow - Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. @JennyS - Great catch, I'll play with that. @derphouse - Great idea. I tried to do that on his death animation, but didn't do it here. I'll put some in! @slipsius - Thanks! Great work all of you. Love the motivation and the effort. Keep it up! @JennyS - I like the… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Is rigging and skinning before texturing ok?
Sure you can do that, you can even change the topology or add/remove geometry if you really need to. If you don't change the geometry and the vert numbering matches (it can change if you import/export the mesh to other apps) you can just apply UVW unwrap under the skin modifier, then load/save the UV's. Use the "collapse…
