Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
I never said you have to go nose to the grindstone 24/7. All I was saying is that if something is important to you, you make the time for it. If you don't make time for it, then maybe you need to rethink if you actually want it or not. There is a huge difference between liking something and being passionate about… -
Re: How do you rig multiple objects and have their UVs in one combined UV?
Fewer meshes means fewer draw calls so as a general rule of thumb it's a good idea to combine as much as you can, unless you have a fairly compelling reason to do otherwise. One reason might be... That you want to pack a lot of detail into the eyes, both the textures and the material (reflection and refraction) but you're… -
Re: How do you create a 3D star-field in maya
If you want it realistic, you should map a Starfield on a Sphere surrounding your scene...the scale difference between Spaceships and Starfields is sooo immense, you will never see Stars moving relatively to each other when you rotate the camera around a ship...there is abslutely no need to create a 3D Starfield, unless… -
Re: Q: What do you do again?
Love the posts here some funny stuff. :) I've said a couple of times (to make It easy on myself) I make the guy you play with when you play a video game. I want to say: I make 3D objects for games b-tch, how you like me now! (the guy, girl posts are the best, your a model! lol-you should have stuck with that if they were… -
Re: What do you do while everything renders?
If you're using Max or Maya set up backburner, it comes included and is autodesks out of the box render farm software. Launch manager, then server and then monitor and set your renders to "network render". That way you can render in the background while you still work in max/maya. Or if you have another machine install… -
Re: how are you with flying?
You tend to get over your fears pretty fast once you've flown enough. I've been in planes that have been struck by lighting when landing in a thunderstorm, had emergency landings for both mechanical and medical emergencies on board, had a fuel pump go out just as the plane was accelerating on the runway, etc. You learn… -
How do you Subz Those Heights Bro?
Having been using Designer for a wile now I've come to realise that the real foundation of creating a great quality Sub is a good Height map Base, it will give you your major forms and a good number of your major important masks later down the line when creating other maps. With that in mind would anyone else like to see a… -
Re: Grrr....does this ever happen to you?
Nose, yeah Wings can be surprizing at first. But the whole point of the interface is that... you don't use the interface. I *think* that what you need to do is : having a clear idea of what you wokflow is (preferably edge-division oriented since wings does not allow gaps in meshes) > look for the few tools you need >… -
You guys are all amazing! (Share the love)
Hello Polycount, As a student (well technically not since my call of duty got me enrolled for 2 years atm), I just wanted to tell you people how much of an inspiration every single one of your artwork is. My current environment isn't really art-friendly nor supportive but I gain much sense of fellowship and immense… -
Re: What you think of the new Cintiqs?
why do you want a cintiq? if you want to make textures then you can largely ignore the rest of this post if you want to draw and paint lovely pictures then it might be useful... personally i find the 12 and now 13 inch cintiqs a bit of an awkward proposition I've always been perfectly happy on the A5 intuos tablets but i…
