Re: [WIP] Female Cyberpunk Character - (3D Student, Feedback Appreciated!)
Focusing on proportions and learning subdivision modeling would help. Try using polypaint to help sort disorganized detail into more orderly, congruent areas. When adding detail, ask yourself if it plays a functional role; in the case of a cyborg, does it make sense from a engineering / mechanical / electrical standpoint?… -

Lets go over some simple ways to get your feet wet with MAXScript. Even if you have never touched code before, there are some simple ways you can start using maxscript that will help you automate tasks and remove some of the time wasting steps you have to take time and time again. MAXScript what does it do? To answer that… -
Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
I'm almost 100% confident that you could build 4 7950/4090 boxes with that money and get your work done faster what are you going to use it for ? and yeah - I dont see the 5090 being particularly revolutionary. faster yes but there's nothing really new there. It's only got 28gb because the capacity is a function of the… -

My level has two cylinders and i need the to attract and repel based on the script. However i do not know how to attach the script to the… -
Re: Sci-fi Bus Stop
Hey man, been following this on twitter. Good stuff! I loved seeing the process and the iterations it went through. I love the duplo feel to it and the balance of being playful/realistic. However, and this is just my brain, but the first thing I think of what I see this is "portable." And then I think, huh, a portable bus… -
Re: Why use underescores for naming things in 3d industry?
An interesting note you bring up regarding Python and C based languages. I've seen the same thing, particularly with Autodesk code. 99% of all Mel scripts and even their python code utilizes camelCase for variables and functions. What's interesting is that this is counter to PEP8 guidelines (no camelCase for either, only… -
Re: MEL question
Hi everyone, thanks for all your advices :) @ivars: indeed, motion path does the trick, but i don't really grasp how i could code that to be automatic, the whole 'related to timeslider' thing is pretty annoying. I'd love to hear a solution using this tough. The über function would be a version of 'Modify > Snap Align… -
Re: Laser Turret (Next-Gen)
the problem with the model not looking believable is because nothing on it is real, and it dosnt follow any real function. When designing objects, #1 rule is Form follows function. if an industrial designer makes a monitor, everything exists only because it does something. If you make a rotating platform, put an engine,… -
Re: artist & designer (what is the difference)
It depends... The designer and artist are quite broad titles. Artists can be designers in the sense that they build concepts, bring functionality to a game/layout/website etc. For example, many graphic designers also work as illustrators, or need to create artistic assets for the site they are working on. This is where the… -
Re: Future of texturing and 3d modeling in gaming industry
I'd also like to point out that CG as a whole (at least in standards of realism) has been primarily used in film to create scenes that would otherwise be either too time-consuming, costly, or impossible to create as a set in real-life. You also have to factor in what art in real-time games actually means. Sure, it's…
