Hey David, I checked George's portfolio, it's really impressive, but he is a professionnal right ? Not one of your classmate ? I just say that because in my school it's totally prohibed to use concepts made by professionnals for our final project, we have to do everything by ourselves, because the school owns 50% of the…
I think the shapes and rendering are great. But, I'm wondering if you are a biker. This seems to be lacking practicality. The front fender piece won't allow room for the front forks to absorb shock. Likely, in a heavy braking situation, the tire would catch on the body, sending the whole vehicle into a front flip. The rear…
Hi Octokitty, In most cases the workflow for current gen characters is to make a base mesh that is constructed for easier sculpting eg. all quads and no tris, even poly density and so forth. Once you finish the sculpt, you can export your lowest sub division to max/maya and rework the geometry so that it is optimized and…
I am looking for an animator who is able to work with zbrush models and potentially sensitive subject-matter. Subject-matter: Project involves animating a nude animal hybrid model with anthropomorphic (humanoid) qualities. The zbrush model base reference is a child sized/shaped figure with various animal features (canine…
No, the scale of 0 to 255 is not interpreted as linear to the DISPLAY. It is interpreted agnostic internally. So when you have two layers, and you multiply them, so for example, red and grey: Red = (R=1.0 G=0 B=0)Grey = (R=0.5 G=0.5 B=0.5)R = 1.0 * 0.5 = 0.5G = 0.0 * 0.5 = 0.0B = 0.0 * 0.5 = 0.0Red*Grey = (R= 0.5 G=0.0…
Yea frankie is right too, that most aren't that expensive so its not a total waste if it turns out to be no help yet. I also found that 1-2 classes here and there don't do a lot of good as sustained classes over a long period of time so if you only get a tiny bit out of the first one, keep it up, it builds. But don't be…

Rework your lighting model completely. Suggestion on process. Remove/turn off all your billboards. (temporarily) I want you to tackle this scene using just directional light and ambient light, and fog. Don't worry about little street lights or any little point lights at this point. Report back with what you deem…
It's not cutting corners. It's using modern tools to learn both faster and more thoroughly. It's bringing a nuke to the gunfight, rather than a knife. It's learning from dissection, rather than, or in addition to, reading. Using the ecorche as a reference is only "tracing" if you treat it that way. If you instead use it…
SPOILERS.... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??????????????? Here are some random things about the movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KarNwKx5mGY Also, for anyone who followed the ARG I'd think the monster's origin would be fairly obvious at this point: Weird sea goop acts like steroids. Makes things grow at accelerated different…
