Re: Modo v.s. Maya
There are no annual maintenance fee, the service packs(SP) are fee. If you buy 801 you'll get all the SP for free. So far Luxology has been very friendly with their upgrade path, you can pretty much upgrade from Modo 101 to 701 without having to pay any back maintenance at 495 USD. You are not required to upgrade , you can… -
Re: The gym for the 3d artist ?
My two cents, I dont know anyones Physical fitness level but for me I started off at 275 6'1 and got myself down to 190. If i would have started with a pull up bar I would have quit because I won't have been able to even lift myself one time. Weak arms (3d artist haha) and about 130 extra pounds I would have exploded and… -
Re: Help with IK handle (goat leg)
What you should try is two overlaid IK chains: the big one for all 3 joints, and one on top for the top 2. The secondary one would have a control at joint 4, which would be linked to joint 3 controlled by the big one; this control would act as an offset from the positions provided by the big chain. I know it sounds a bit… -
Re: M1918 BAR
Hello, I wanted to know if it was possible if I could please use your B.A.R. m1918a2 in a Battlefield 2 mod I am working on called Battlefield 1944, where I am recreating a modern take on the 2002 Battlefield 1942 game in HD. This weapon is really beautiful quality. We already have a tank that is 60k polygons, but you seem… -
Re: Oddworld's Slig - Kyle Hall
I think everyone is spot on with their crits. You could probably make the character about 20k and then another 4 to 5 k for the gun no problem but that's not a big deal in my eyes. Some studios still need to have lower poly assets so as long as you know the workflow then you are good. My main concern is how flat the skin… -
Re: Snow Stories!
2004. Reno, NV. Crazy ensued. Now, I lived in Minnesota for almost 4yrs. I've seen some good snow storms. Driven to work 14 miles in 2ft of solid unplowed snow. But this storm was fucking EPIC. Normally, the valley floor in Reno gets about 6-7" or so in a good winter storm. It really doesn't get too crazy. But the perfect… -
Re: Looking for feedback on Hulk Model (WIP)
Check out the wiki page about topology best practices. Your model is not constructed efficiently. This is 101 stuff too broad to give a specific answer. About the tri count -- think about it more in terms of what is the minimum amount of resolution you need to get the quality goal you've set. With the amount of resolution… -
Re: Diesel Punk Power Armour - US Mk I
Fantastic high polygon character with amazing design, but let down by noisy normal maps and lack of surface definition, your metal really doesn't feel like metal. I personally would remove all the low level noise from your normal maps and fall back to a much cleaner specular/gloss. You have some great forms in the… -
Re: Little question about this industry.
They can pay the new kid less but you will have far more experience. They may only make $12/hr but if it takes them 20hrs to do something you can do in 4hrs then it's not economically viable. Also that new person may need 5 hrs of help and meetings from a senior artist. Companies aren't head hunting fresh out of school… -
Re: Critique this PC bulid please?
600 W is more than enough for the PSU as long as you get a brand of reasonable quality. You could even use a Corsair CX430M and it would be completely fine, although it would limit your ability to add more or higher-TDP GPUs later somewhat. If you really, really want to wait for Pascal to come out you could use the…
