(Senior?) Character artist LFW on-site west coast USA
I'm coming back to the US after more than a decade abroad, would like to work in a walkable/bikeable city on the west coast. I'll be available in a couple months. I will partake of the free office coffee and you guys can hear me swear whenever Zbrush crashes, it'll be great fun. I do a lot of scifi and fantasy stuff. I've… -

How to generate spaghetti like weave, pipes
If I wanted to generate a spaghetti like weave, but with the individual models moving in random directions in x, y and z how might I go about that? I feel like modeling it might take too long so I was thinking a procedural or coded approach might work best. I'm looking to generate thin, tube like structures with possibly… -
Centre To World In Maya Problem - Fix
Apologies for the new thread, but for some reason I couldn't add a reply to original posters thread Hi, I wrote a script to help you with this problem, copy and paste into your script editor and then drag to a shelf if required, select any object anywhere, regardless of transforms / frozen or not / pivot location, etc and… -
Re: Vector Displacement maps in UDK(.float files)
Thanks for the suggestion :) UDK seems to ignore RGBA .raw files. It can be because I am exporting from Photoshop 6(not CS6) though. I tried the two-texture thing and it seems to be working. Here's what I did: In xNormal(tangent option is off): - Render one direction map with X+, Z+, Y+ - Render another direction map with… -
Re: Tangent basis convertion Xnormal/3dsmax?
I would still use Xnormal to bake a difffuse and AO map from a raw hi poly. The good thing about Xnormal is that you can easily use the same projection cage from Max. so essentially, you'd have 2 or three different versions of your hi poly. 1. Decimated just enough to keep valuable normal detail while still able to run in… -
Re: Erasam Emberhart - Obese Blood Elf Engineer; Blizzard Student Art Contest 2012 Charac
It's kinda changed from the typical Gnome-y engineer to like . . . a Blood elf War Machine forger, someone who constructs all the ballistae, arcane golems (hammer and chisels), and does combat support when possible (Petal mortat). I guess in regards to the tools reading, is it a silhouette / focal thing? In hindsight on… -
Re: Crash Bandicoot N.Sanity Beach
AzzaMat, I'm not sure what you're talking about with the gradient thing, but I'm intrigued to know what you mean. As for rocks, from just that image, it looks like your doing it all in zBursh? Sculpting and painting? I'm guessing you retopo as well, not sure if there might be problems there, but it might be that you need… -
Re: 3dsmax favors local-space normal maps?
Hmm, I just tried it on some other objects (sorry, no screenshots, NDA!), and the smoothing, although mostly better, is still a bit screwed due to vertex shading in some places, mostly where there are long triangles bordering 90-degree turns in the low-poly mesh. It does seem to be an improvement, though, as shown on my… -
Re: Could someone help me with setting up AO map in Unreal...?
Sorry, I use baking <-> rebuilding interchangeably. Yes, rebuild the lighting. And further, make sure your skylight, lights, etc are set to Static rather than Stationary or Dynamic. (That said if this is a character, you'd expect it to be dynamically lit). The Power node is just a mathematic operation - like Multiply or…
