I've been doing this for a long time now. There's actually more you can do (especially when you start getting file-bloating issues). I talked to our Max reseller awhile back, and he told me to do the following: - Open file > Xref Objects > Then close the menu - Open file > Xref Scene > Then close the menu - Type the gc()…
I am considering upgrading to the 1080gtx. I am currently running a rather bad card 680GTX which has problems with maya. I do play video games and do 3D work as well as the price for quadros are pretty pricey. What I am wanting to know how many polys or a rough estimate of how many polys can be in the viewport before…
Hello! I am trying to work on hand-painted texture for a character. I'd like it to be somewhat WoW-like stylized, but partially it looks like childrens' painting :) I am mostly doing modelling and sculpting, but trying to learn how to do "old school" textures. I painted values first and then overpainted colors. The…
How can I weld nearby verts? For optimizing and removing duplicate vertices or double faces id select all vertices in max and do a weld at .001, how can I do this in blender?

I just got super annoyed by the strange lag i got in Maya, so i thought. Hey, why not give modo a shot. And so i did. The first thing i do is to turn on Maya navigation. Everything works fine, except one thing. And that is zooming with Alt + RMB. WTF? Alt + LMB and Alt + MMB works great. They rotate and pan. But the zoom…
Hi guys, today I finished my project on the Chiappa Rhino guns. During the creation of the high poly I decided to take in the other versions as well plus share them within one single texture. These guns are optimized for VR experiences :) 1x 4k txt map 60DS ~ 29.300 tris 20DS ~ 23.900 tris Meshes are done in Maya and…
Hey Gang! I don't post too often but here are a number of props I created back in Fall '12 for Wizard 101. There's also some UI work (which I had a TON of fun with) as well as 2 pieces I did for fun. Hopefully I'll have some more items to show in the coming months, as I've learned quite a bit about environment art in the…
Hi everybody! I'm quite new to the game developer business (intern) and a 3D game modeller in 3DS Max. My new job requires to learn either Maya or Modo. Can somebody please give me an advice: Is it more 'helpful' to break in luxology Modo 201 (which is very powerful) or is it better to my future career to stay with Maya…
