Re: So I have this landscape, and 300 houses. How can I align them quickly?
There are a few different ways. If the placement doesn't matter you can group all of the houses and particle scatter them across the surface. You can also object paint an array of objects over the surface of a mesh. You can also use a Surface Constraint. If placement matters you can use Select and Place. Although, that… -
Re: Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess
Here is my first time creating a realistic looking eye, through the process I learned a pretty quick workflow for creating them. I suggest modeling one and giving it a shot, I'd be happy to help if you've got any questions. I followed Tom Newbury's tutorial - https://gumroad.com/tomnewbury I'm also figuring out hair cards… -

Re: More Stable Job Opportunities in 3D Art
I've heard making art for Casinos both pays well and is very stable. And while it's true the game industry can be risky, I believe working for the 1st party developers (Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony) offers a bigger safety net than most 3rd party studios. Although SCE Liverpool and Lionhead show there's a still a chance of… -
Re: Benefits of modeling in Tris
it hasn't changed because to be honest it doesn't need to :) they had NLA, texturing in their window, AMAZING polygon tools and everything you need.. 10 years ago* :) In fact i still think many of mirai's tools are still the best!

Re: What Tablet should I get?
intuos 3 a5 wide = best price/quality ratio so far. if you are used to paint/draw on larger paper size like 12"x17", go for a4 model. intuos 4 is blessed with instant nib wear due to high-friction surface (you'll have to replace plastic nibs ocassionally, 5 nibs = $ 10 here) and their usb ports are apparently fucked up on… -

Re: Lightmap/AO 3dsmax second uv question
there are different scales of AO detail, small details on an environment prop and tiled textures can be baked into the diffuse, larger scale lighting from object to object will be baked into a lightmap, using both of these on all objects/maps gives a very consistant soloution. T-train- you can bake AO into tiling… -

Re: Voodoo Senior Project
Yeah, I agree with renderhjs, the fridge looks muddy to me. The bump seems more like concrete than metal. I know you might be going for a bloody mess, but I think it might be too much. Or more so just that it's so muddy. Try something more like these. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/62/224776053_f02809d6a8.jpg…
