My biggest problem to date on showing off a mesh has been I have no clue how to properly render it, so that the Normal Map and Specular Maps show up well. I use 3DS Max r7. Is there a simple way to render the model so that it shows off how it would look in-game? Or a freeware model viewer that is relatively easy to export…
I'm looking to replace my desk chair that I bought for 4 pints off a friend a year back. Was wondering what the community had to say in regards to their favorite desk chair for modeling all day. Do you have just a general chair or does it have neck support? I was hoping to not spend more than $200 or so which makes things…

+1 There is no reason why you cant do both if you put the time and effort into it. hell being flexible is the best way of keeping sane (or insane depending on how you look at it) in this industry. just make sure that you are good enough at one of them for a job, and get better at the other while you make money doing the…
Thanks guys for feedback I really appreciate that. I did some tweaks like adding handmade rust and rusty spots, some dust and cleared most annoying dDo mistakes. What else to say I look forward for your response and here you go new pack:
We're using unity at work, no one really knows what they're doing in unity atm. i thought it was a really bare bones game engine until today i discovered it has terrain painting, GI, light probes? i didn't know any of this existed in unity. i know someone here must know of a great series of videos going through all of…
Hey, So I haven't used zbrush that much but I am recreating a Mario level for fun and portfolio hopefully and I am making the tubes I have hard edges and I want to get those smooth edges like that, what are some good zbrush brushes that are good for smoothing edges? I tried the smooth brush and it just doesn't do what I…
Having some trouble unwrapping some low poly curvy pipes I have on my prop. I've tried making a spline, generating map co-ords then, converting to poly, adding a UVW modifier, then using the Spline Mapping tool but it doesn't look that great. Manually using quick planar map on a series of extruded cylinders takes too long.…
Hello! I know I'm late to this party but I'm gonna do my best to make a Mega Gnar Splash Art for this contest. Understandably there is no splash art for his mega form so I'm gonna see if I can do it some justice. I was gonna do Warwick originally but changed my mind at the very last second So some thumbnails And the first…
I recently realized that a large portion of geometry for one of my projects is doubled on itself. I must have accidentally extruded the whole thing at some point far back. However, using the Mesh Cleanup Lamina Faces tool doesn't remove them like it normally does (it thinks there's nothing to select). Anyone have any tips…
