Re: Sketchbook: Chillbrush
You know it's funny. It's been about 13 years since I last did some fan art of Rikku from the Final Fantasy X series. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and tons of different anime have been a huge influence on my style.

They haven't updated the documentation for Skeletal Mesh LOD's yet because they just added it in 4.22 (current version). Even their "hey check out more info on this feature" link in the 4.22 release notes goes to the main documentation page, so it's hot off the presses.… -
Re: FINISHED : Durga, Hindu Goddess
Lessons learned -- * If it's your first time doing something, multiply time estimate by three. I've said it before, and again it has rung true.

Re: Portfolio Critique/Review
Looking at a your portfolio from a eagles view, it does look novice to mid level. It's been advised to remove things from your portfolio that does not meet industry standard, if not, then improve it until it meets that quality. I would change the thumbnail of the drone to the 2nd picture. My eyes glossed over the… -
[Maya] Component orientation to object pivot
Hi there! I'm new at scripting, so pls don't lynch me. I read a whole bunch of threads, and didn't find what I looked for.
