Re: New Texture Creation Programs killing Traditional art skills?
This is brought up all the time, typically it's normally phrased as "Is _______ cheating?" or something similar. These applications are just tools. They aren't exactly a make art button, but they do take away some of the barriers. Even if there was a make art button, there still would be a need for artists to actually… -
Re: Mudbox 2009
too little too late.... they need real painting tools.. they added support for more polygons, about one quarter what i can get in zbrush on the same machine, awesome, .. other than the preformance increase it seems like a step backward.. one version later and that beautiful clean interface is already starting to show… -
Re: Viewport Rotation Options/Shortcuts in Max
You need to change the Arc Rotate option. It's the button in the lower right corner of the screen, looks like a circle with three arrows coming out of it. The default setting is to rotate around objects, but it's much more useful to set it to rotate around subObject selections, which is what you're after. So click and hold… -
Re: Man, I'm stumped...(3dS keyboard issue)
Look up in your main menu bar for a button called "keyboard shortcut override" it looks like a keyboard key. If its on, turn it off. If its off, toggle it on then off, sometimes it gets turned on (not sure if there's a shortcut for it or not) and doesn't update the button. It basically tells max to ignore the main max… -
Re: wacom's bamboo
the graphire is just another wacom tablet. I think it's an older model (maybe they only had graphires before?), now they have the bamboo and other models. Not really sure what the differences are. Just looked at their site. Looks like the only graphire left is a blue tooth wireless one. I got the small version about 4… -

Week 1 in Blender: Day 1 (7/11/20): Learning the interface and creating my first Blender Model Diving in quick with my first day in Belder. So far, it’s not too difficult. I decided to keep the default Blender controls instead of changing them to Maya. I know there are plug ins for this, but I want to go in with a fresh… -
Re: Need guidance for post-secondary school!
make sure your program has lots of traditional skill classes, sculpting classes, architecture, art history, and if you fancy animation, animation classes (including some of the old style ones using animation paper) and finally there should be some 3d classes on top. Learning to use a 3D app is the easy peasy thing here,… -
Re: UVs distortion on mirrored geometry when SI to Max exporting
The main idea of solution is to create second UV set where UV islands' borders are the hard edges of the mesh (via Unfold). Then we export the mesh to two OBJs with different UV sets. In max - first we process the mesh with unfolded UVs - via TexTools' "Smoothing Groups from UV" algorithm (i've ripped a part of it into… -
Re: what to learn? zbrush Maya or Photoshop??
I certainly agree, Jeff, but, the fact is, learning 5 or so complex and constantly evolving pieces of heavy software is a must. Knowing what buttons to push and when/why, and mastering all 5 plus the technical aspects of the pipeline can take years of hard work and passionate dedication. So let's give those buttons the… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
