Re: 3D Training Institute - any good?
I've taken a few classes with CGMA after learning modeling fundamentals by myself with Blender and have mixed feelings. I imagine that the classes vary significantly between instructors. All my classes were based around environment art for videogames. Intro to Maya was a fantastic class for learning Maya. The instructor… -
Unity to merge with app monetisation firm ironSource
Unity to merge with app monetisation firm ironSource It's sad to see Unity laying off 200 staff and now this news. Personally I used to love the Unity engine, I even did my Masters with it. $4.4 Billion is a good deal considering that Unity has a very large strong hold of games produced with the engine, especially in… -
Maya to UE5 (Control Rig questions)
So, I am at a bit of a loss here and was hoping somebody here can help me. PROBLEM: When I am creating a control rig in UE5 (new feature) I am unable to get the IK bone chain to work properly. No matter how many values I mess with in the Primary and Secondary bone options, I can not get the bones to line up. I have been… -

Re: Mage Table [WIP]
Ok, so I decided to start with making the table... Just a simple wooden table with a bit of metal. This is because even if it's covered by a lot of different props, it will still be a big part of the final render. I also wanted to make this first because it's an easier part so I can keep testing out styles with this. The… -
Re: TextureLab - Web-based Substance Designer Alternative
I'd love to see SD alternative because IMO after all those years it's still amazingly inconvenient and artist unfriendly in every part of it but unfortunately from what I see that texturelab needs a lot yet to be just on same level with SD. For example SD transform node gizmo is tremendously inconvenient and here we have… -
Re: Teacher here: This is what my high school students have done so far this year
Can't say much about the art quality itself, as there is just a pretty awesome quantity of it. Like the others have said though, its super awesome to see high schoolers getting into the game art and development pipeline. I started working in my spare time after taking a computer graphics class that touched on everything… -
Re: Gaiascope's Workshop
I'm not a fan of the idles, it feels forced. I almost feel something more peaceful will work better, remove the life from it and let it just sway in the wind. The idle alt as it is now feels akward, maybe if there was more twist in the rope, so those cube peices also spun it would feel better, but even then, it just feels… -
Re: Best Software to create sketches to be used in Maya?
Okay, so I only ended up on this thread because I just typed in Krita into the search bar and am generally terribly lazy. Anyway, I am actually agreeing with BOTH pior and Atticusmars, which might be odd, but it honestly depends on your perception of concept art, and what you are actually conceptualising. Like, the OP… -
Re: zBrush - LP Creation
Most people bake maps using an external program like xNormal. You can 'colour' your mesh in zBrush via Polypaint - a tool which essentially allows the user to paint over the geometry using the faces as reference data! You can activate this by hitting the "Rgb" or "Mrgb" tabs. There are ways of baking…
