Re: Maya - Smooth Mesh preview
Thank you for this! Really wanted it, was using a marking menu for hiding selection UI but a toggle is always better. Is this safe to use with 2020? I've changed the string from wires to wires22 just in case.... I know this is many years old but this is exactly what I was hoping for, a way to toggle between smooth mesh… -
Re: University Assignment - Motion Capture
I am actually using 3ds Max not motion builder. I simply used motion builder to get the mesh working with the mo cap data.

Re: pelt mapping help!
Pelt isn't really ideal for that type of object with multiple separate sub-objects and those objects are so simple they should be unwrapped another way besides pelt. Pelt is more ideal for one continuous selection of complex faces, like skinning a beaver. You would probably find Peel and point to point edge selection in… -
Re: Practicality vs Aesthetics
What is important is a consistent balance of function and form. You can stylize things heavily, but consistently, or you can build supporting functions that justify a form (like the sweet M16/katana sheath in the article I'm linking) http://platinumgames.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/e6b1bae5ae9ae7a8bf5.jpg… -

Re: Gradient maps
I looked it up this past weekend. It's quite clever. http://technical-eden.blogspot.com/2012/01/gradient-mapping-awesome-way-to-get.html The way it works, you create a diffuse map that is shades of black and white. You create a gradient of various colors you'd like to see in your texture and build your own gradient in… -
Re: Tips for Listing Freelance on Resume
If you've done some work for established studios, I would definitely list those in order of most recent/well known. You can list the lesser known studios as well but put either "(startup)" or "(indie)" after their name. Anyone who works in this industry will know what that means. If an individual doesn't have a company,…
