Wow guys, thanks so much for the feedback and ah ha, yeah you guys are totally right about the "less polys does not equal better curves comment" That rule was poorly phrased. Xoliul: yeah this is definately simplistic. This part is meant for people who have NEVER properly used subdiv modeling and dont know what it does. My…
You learn by doing, not by watching youtube videos. That's entertainment. Your brain is more powerful than all the world's super-computers combined. It is an extremely advanced learning machine. It's your psychology which struggles to learn. In your head you make many nonsense problems which disrupt the learning process.…
We maintain a Spidey template mesh that we use to start all of the suits with. The same way you would have universal topology/UVs for many other character types in a project. We use that as a starting point for both high and low models. For high models, we usually use subdivision modeling to add pieces that add relief to…

Two of Maya's strongest points for modeling are marking menus and more functionality smartly compacted into less tools, and both of those are being…

Project 2: Creature Head Bust, Lateef from the Spyro Reignited Trilogy I LOVE ZBRUSH GRRAAAAHHHHHH anyway I also really like Spyro and when this project got introduced, I knew I wanted to do one of the dragons, and Lateef was who I landed on. All the dragons are beautifully designed, but I especially like the Dream…
i just going to ramble a bit because taking day off and bored: on one hand, in a game if you are making things from scratch that seems like really inefficient use of labor and probably not too many places making much of anything from scratch. especially if you already have a few games under the studios belt, must be an…
