Re: Why Modo?
I come from Max and Maya ages ago, and I've been using Modo Indie for a few weeks. My thoughts as a modeler: - The Ui is fantastic, it just feels really modern. Reminds me a bit of XSI Ui with how slick things look. - The layer system takes a while to get used to. The fact that every separate mesh object gets treated as… -
Re: Why is it more difficult to get feedback in threads ?
Well, as mentioned in the past my point is not to say "This is the answer". My point is more : "If we have a problem ... then let's try to understand it and let's try some stuff to fix it" - even if that means reverting back later if it fails. I totally agree that the Artstation format relying on a giant wall of pictures… -
Re: [Photoshop CS4] Scripting book?
to clarify what i meant by a mask texture - routinely i'll use a texture as a mask, with each mask contained within a single texture in each channel - so a 24bit tga has 3 masks, one for each channel. Within your group, you can double click it and set its channel - so ill have 3 groups within a "Mask" group, each… -
Re: Weird polygon display error in 3DS MAX.
Really sorry for the bump but is there anyway to fix this? I did some searches on the forum and I think it's because I imported the model as a FBX file... which is total crap and it messed up my groups or something in that nature. Is there anyway to fix this? I tried it all.. I'm [ ] <- that close to breaking my mouse and… -
Re: Using someone else's shader
[ QUOTE ] the simple fact is that using pre-existing material is clearly cheating. Particularly when developing games, everything that an artist does should be, first and foremost, for self-improvement and self-fulfilment - the actual development process and end product are largely irrelevant. What do you think you're… -
Re: Lighting setup....
MoP, thats a great read thanks for posting it and great suggestions also. There are a bunch of different ways to light a scene using just the default lights, not to mention the daylight system, and the other rendering engines that come with max MentalRay and VUE. Each of those have their own ways of handling light and you… -
Re: Geometry Nodes Hair - Blender
@Ruz these are using default blender hair nodes right? I found them bit convoluted, so In HT I have rewritten them from scratch, and I do not have these issues (at least I did not encounter it for tenths of hairstyles I made). Nice hair and character btw. -
Re: Mac App Suggestions.
Here's my favs beside the obvious ones (Firefox, Chrome, yadda yadda) RCdefaultApp - changes the default app for opening files with a certain extension Bean - super light weight Word like text editor. When you don't need all the office bloat MplayerX - a bit more leight weight and stable than VLC Perian - codec for… -
Re: Particles - Unity Engine
First off, sorry I didn't respond to anyone's questions earlier. I should probably subscribe to threads in the future. I am using Cascade currently for a one week contract at a local game company. Cascade is a fantastic particle system and I'm enjoying using it. I have used it a bit in the past so I was not completely… -
Re: Why do people recommend drawing from life over drawing from photos?
While that parts true in that you don't need to see a real life counterpart for everything/reference is fine, I will say that if you apply to a traditional art school you'll find professors can indeed tell a difference in whether or not a student or applicant drew an object from a photo. They usually would rather see…
