Re: Maya or XSI
Artistically, I would say which one you feel comfortable in most. Practically, I'd go for Maya (and I'm a pretty hardcore XSI user) and even more practical, I'd say Max. :) XSI is hardly used in this industry except for maybe a handful of studios with Max taking the crown. -

Re: RaptorCWS Anatomy Study Thread
I'm still practicing anatomy. I got to the forearms today before hitting a brick wall. I need a lot more practice with them so any advice or images that could help with that would be great. I just blocked in the head and legs didn't really do much with them sculpting wise. -

Re: games with deforming clothing on characters?
I'm not much of a gamer myself these days, but off the top of my head... -Practically every recent basketball game has physics driven cloth -Alan Wake's coat -Soul Calibur 4, Tekken 6, practically all characters costumes are cloth, with a lot of long flowing extensions, sleeve cuffs, etc. -
Re: Female Character WIP
I feel that trying to practice female anatomy by modeling a masculine woman is counter productive. You can do one of each, but you cannot practice both simultaneously. I suggest choosing one or the other, because as she is right now, she only vaguely resembles typical female anatomy. -
Re: Starting with hand painted textures
I'd love to hear some tricks, too... a tutorial would be awesome or at least a recorded version (for yt or vimeo) of the handout or something like that. That would be superduper nice, since wildstar is really looking way to awesome! I'd love to know how to get such beautiful results! (Beside practice, a lot of practice) -
Re: Polygons' edges are seen after baking
Yeah you could simply flatten the vertex normals, this way killing the lowpoly shading. But its a manual edit that can break. We had projects where this was common practice, killing lowpoly shading as much as possible. Letting the normalmal do all lifting. Has its perks, but doesnt work on every mesh, works better the more… -
