Re: OpenSubdivs for Maya?
At present, many software out there have subdivs in our products(very often Catmull-Clark ruling for subdividing), but, and to the best of my knowledge, not this specific Pixar technology. I actually hosted the Autodesk webinar, when we showed this technology and during the live Q&A yesterday the guys said that the Subdivs… -
Re: Sketchbook: Drea
It's been a while; it's time to update! I always wanted to model a classic Spyro or at least in honor of classic Spyro. I'm tempted to do a line of Nostalgia with Crash Bandicoot and Coco with Pura, but that would push me to work with fur. I barely understand Maya's Hair System. As for Spyro, I wanted to work up scales in… -
Re: Klaus Trailer- 2d Animation Technique??
I think this is the process they are using. They are working with toonboom for this animated film so seems Toonboom has a new feature that generates a mesh or geometric shape from the normal maps that reacts to lighting and allows texturing. I remember during my postgrad, we did some compositing modules with nuke, after… -
Re: (WIP) Cute Werewolf Girl
I started blocking out the clothes and folds -- I like to get the folds out of the way before I worry about seams/details/garment construction, keeps me from getting distracted with details too early. I want to get the materials defined correctly before I start adding zippers and pockets and all that good stuff. I'm still… -

Reply by ThePoetTrees · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Reallusion Game Character Animation ContestWhat have we got? We've got the plot! In our First Entry, For kids, Rated G... Our violence is wholesome and clean, like Bugs Bunny. It's Elmer Fud, culling wildlife to eat, while his Toon Horse prefers targets set free... (with plot twists from sci-fi and fantasy) So Rule #1 for comedians from John Cleese to Disney: We… -
Re: limit your job hunt to AAA at your own risk
I go wherever the work takes me. If that's F2P or mobile, that's fine. As long as I'm working on something interesting (ie; NOT Disney Princesses) then I'm happy working anywhere in games. AAA game development has been hard for me the last 4-5yrs, being mainly a contractor. I got out of games in 2006 and did scripting for… -
Re: Vray vs Mental Ray
No one uses mental ray anymore... Autodesk is killing it and putting Arnold with Maya (I'm assuming since they just bought solid angle.) Mental ray Pros: -free with maya - for the most part physically plausible materials. - A really nice layered material system Mental ray Cons: - integration with maya is poor and even… -
Re: New LA Noire trailer "The Technology Behind Performance"
It IS a pretty revolutionary technique, and it makes a lot of sense to use in such a project since it needs gritty, life-like realism. But as I've been formed as a traditional animator, it always makes me cringe when people say that mocap is so much better than regular animation because of its realism or whatever. I regret… -
Re: Portfolio needs review
Hi Eric, a few things I noticed: your resume and email links are at the far edges of the screen rather than being in line with the images, I'm not sure if that's intentional, though I would imagine not. I'm using firefox btw Your logo background is a very slightly different shade of grey than your background, which would… -
Re: Learning modern texturing from scratch?
I wouldn't say a stylized look means you're not fully utilizing the shaders. PBR is just set of mathematical rules that attempt to emulate how light interacts with surfaces in the real world. How you approach texturing is entirely independent of this system. It just opens up new possibilities. A fun example I've wanted to…
