Next week I am going to upgrade from a 2 years old laptop to a desktop. My budget is about 800 max 900 euros. I am mainly doing this because my i5 2.8 , 8gb , 2gb video laptop can't keep up, it's taking way to long to build lights in UE4 and the fps is almost dieing on my current suburban project. I have never before…
Okay, in the end, the Morph Targets plan for that project didn't happen. However, I've been working on them and facial expressions separately. So far, I've managed to figure out how to import/export the Blend Shapes into UE5. I also keyframed an animation that cycles through them all in Maya. That animation works no…
I would say the games industry is turbulent due to Global Events and the huge shifts of uncertanty post Covid. On top of this Seasonal Trends and so many different Technology Shifts going on. I have students making Assets for Dekogon with polycounts that I could only have dreamed of. Then there is the Economic Factors,…
I usually glance over the list of references on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet instead of using spotlight. So I guess I didn't clarify more that I had more references of females; it's just the imgur album is what I wanted to use so you guys can see what I was mainly focusing on, and the other references would be major…

You basically quoted me saying-- --then went on to talk about the annoyance of going back and forth, and you still seem to be under the impression that I'm talking about full 3d suites like Max/Maya/XSI/Modo and that if you model in something like Silo or ZBrush you won't know your main app. I thought I made myself pretty…
Quixel, Marmoset, and Polycount are pleased to be announcing the winners of our Petrol/Blood contest. This contest asked artists to create a depiction between a rider/pilot and their mount/vehicle as if they are participants in a vehicle deathmatch tournament. Emphasis was on next-gen PBR rendering systems and artists were…
Do you have 2 monitors or at least a secondary screen, say a laptop? If you have already done this then nvm but I suggest trying to have the vid on the background while you're following along. Don't just watch it like its a movie, have it on while you're doing it. You can pause to catch up or rewind if he did something too…
I'd suggest just hand painting out the issues you're having. Once you let go of the idea that a bake has to be "perfect" your workflow decreases big time. So the ears are kinda funky? just paint 127 127 255 (numeric value of color) flat blue over them to fix it. If you want you can take a black and white image of fur and…
