Hey Polycount! I've been trying to unwrap this bow but nothing that I know of seems to work. I've basically been planar mapping EVERYTHING so far and then welding them together proceeded by TEDIOUSLY moving vertices around until they looked right. The process takes a long time and something tells me it's an incredibly…
Okay so I'm attempting a flight game on UDK Mobile similar to the one featured in Eat3D's latest tutorial. The difference is that instead of using the motion control of the iOS device, I want to use a joystick. So I added a joystick, was able to basically get the following result: [i want to apologize ahead of time, i'm…
I have seen people create references in the background for them to model over the top. I have looked online but most the tutorials are old and involve the old feature that how turned into 2d pan and zoom (I think). Does anyone have any good tutorials for setting up a simple reference, I am making a knife and I want to set…
I have a pattern for sculpting that I would like to apply evenly around a cylindrical object in Mudbox. I thought I would be able to achieve this by applying it as a stamp image with sufficient stamp spacing and then using the flood function to effect the whole model. This didn't work though. The result I got instead was…
The 3Ds Max 2018 release seems to have almost no new functionality and not even bug fixes. They did not upload videos to highlight new functions. The 'what's new in 3Ds Max 2018' is laughable. I had a little bit of hope with the great Nitrous performance of 2016-2017. But Autodesk seems to have laid off the entire Shanghai…
Congrats man! I am really happy for ya. I recognized the stuff you were working on earlier was from their studio. I got the art test from them, but at that time I couldn't relocate. I am typing to you from my iPhone thru free wi-fi lol. I arrived at Texas today and I think I might settle in a nice apartment I found. Keep…

Hello, First off, I'm a terrible modeler. I've been at it on and off for 2 years (mostly off) but I really want to buckle down and get my portfolio together because it is the only thing I really love just sitting down and doing. Unfortunately I get frustrated when I run into issues like this where I lack knowledge on how…
Hey qL1max, I get where you are coming from. I started out in graphic design and advertising when I was younger, worked a few jobs and did some freelance. I really hated the industry. Alot of studios are influenced by pretentious twats who sell bullshit and basically talk their way into making it up the ranks, or even…
