Brad, I'm curious how did you manage to make UV mapping which has white (not green) chart borders on some charts? I didn't manage to create it in MAX myself even when I intentionally tried to. UV-Packer made "a mess" out of those white charts while the green ones were fine, otherwise it would have much closer results to…

Yeah, like Flaagan was saying, prices will vary greatly depending on what you're buying. I know for a long time Chevy Small Block 350s were dirty cheap basically. I believe they still are. The more obscure the engine, the more expensive it gets to rebuilt. For me, I have a Chevy Big Block 427 and it was a bit harder to…
Well time to tip over my king as well; And I kept meaning to add that 79 in there, but due to poor time management, I ended up working all day today on this from like 5 pm to... what's now 4 am rofl, and I guess I was just tired of this and left it as it is. But live and learn, I got to see just how much time stuff takes…
I think having a quick cut just after frame 79 showing his completed drawing of a demonic hand would really help sell the idea. Then cut back to frame 80 and continue from there. When his expression shifts, have his screen glow, maybe add some lightning effects to the outside of his monitor to show something not quite…

Same situation. Done with Maya and Autodesk in general, and working on transitioning out of Maya into Houdini for general 3d work, for modeling I've fallen in love with MoI, it is however a NURBS modeler, but it's on a whole different level and doesn't have the difficulty issues usually associated with NURBS. Best…
Got the straps blocked in. I tend to get carried away trying to make tiny details perfect to real life. Like the quick release system. Lots of small pieces. But you won't be able to see it, so an approximation is fine. Give the illusion of detail but don't spend an entire day modeling a piece that will be 3 pixels on…
This might be helpful Pyr, since it was for me (besides watching Lee sculpt his Ivy and Haz his Pepper - that kickstarted my understand a lot): http://www.zygotebody.com/#nav=0.19,118.09,115.28 I'm on this with Bagel, I too suggest you try to use a more "stroke"-style for making a base of the bust first. Clean-up doesn't…
Hey 3Drobbo, I've worked on AAA titles and very few of them have full body normal mapped cars and my personal opinion is that normal mapping a whole car is a waste of time, how ever it really depends on the polycount. The current industry trend for this generation is a minimum of 16,000 polys for the exterior (including a…
