That is kind of weird and shouldn't do that, doesn't help much to know that it doesn't do that on my version 2009 =/ Are you looking at the actual file it saves or at the render preview window that pops up? Whats in the render preview window is always off and is probably displaying the environment background color( KB…
I managed to recreate it just now. No idea what I did differently. Anyway, reason you can't rename the object to the same name as the filename is because as you import that file with the default import settings Maya will create a namespace for you with the same name as the filename. If you then try to name your newly…
Okay, so I've been a member of artstation for awhile and this forum and I just can't seem to get likes and views? I usually post on discord and sometimes I'll get a couple thumbs up and likes. However, very little views on artstation. Any tips? Anything that I'm missing?
Just wanted to let everyone here know that Paul Richards and I have set up a Austin/Dallas sketchgroup get together this upcoming 12th of January. In case anyone from the local area would like to drop on by, we will be going from 11-6 pm with a possible hang out afterwards. Here is some of the info: WHEN : Saturday, Jan.…
Pretty much every artist I've talked to in the games biz has told me their degree in 3d art was a ripoff, same is the case with many current students I've talked to who feel their school, despite having a few stand out amazing teachers, is ripping them off. I spent around ~$45k for a school with mostly shit teachers and…
Hi guys, thanks for chiming in. I managed to understand xNormal better and the reason for some values. I failed to understand that the min/max points sliders values where affected, of course, by the model scale set on LP and HP options. That's why I was finding no connection between such values and my reference model…
Hi, This work is a personal experiment of mine, even though I'm affiliated with an animation company. I wouldn't necessarily say it's not commercial... maybe something that will be shown sporadically in local film fests and such, or Youtube even. The project is so far just on the feasibility phase of using Toon Boom…
Just to clarify a few points: +/- If you want to add a BakerGroup you have to do it manually after QuickLoad (which is great if you setup everything manually because of more control inside scene.) If you want to add a BakerGroup, generally you would set the meshes and naming up in your 3D app and export again, this way…
Thank you for the context! It's missing a focal point currently. Every compelling image answers 2 questions: 1. What am I looking at? 2. Why am I looking at it? If the viewer can't puzzle out a compelling answer for these they will leave underwhelmed. Try playing around with the composition and see if you can land on a…
Looking at what PMG just did with their "Dare to Share" promotion. Maybe a modified version of that would work well for selling games. 1. Stop leaks 100%. 2. Release a good demo so people can get a taste of what the game is like and want to buy the full version. 3. Set a target sales goal. Something realistic that covers…
