@ Vig: Hinge from Edge is called "Wedge" in the Edit Mesh menu. Selection Sets are called "Quick Select Set", to make one select what you want, then go Create > Sets > Quick Select Set. To select one, go Edit > Quick Select Sets, then select one of the ones you've made. It'll also appear in the outliner as a dark blue…
The red circle's are problem areas. Also the front sight post was based off of the Troy industries BUIS but instread of doing the M4 style front sight post i went with an AK style because I'm so used to looking down my own AK it just came to me. I will change it so it flares out like the M4 front sights do. Also added more…
What are the circled #'s indicating? The order you click things? Is this "best align" akin to the "fit" command in previous versions of max? If so, there's youre problem. It "fits" UV into the map space, regardless of the aspect ratio. There should perhaps be a "fit, but maintain aspect" button. I used to use an orbiting…
House of the dead is one of my most watched movies, i can watch it at least once a month, its so bad it comes back around full circle till its awesome, alone in the dark is only good if you watch the directors commentary, cause bol is a funny funny bitter insane man. i'm hoping his new movies go back to the house of the…
since when has blacklisting been public? there's loads of it going on on both sides of a work contract but you'd normally keep that stuff within your circles. as a freelancer, assuming you're not naive and have a contract that specifies things (duties, rework, etc), what can possibly happen in our line of work other than…
I was thinking HL2: Ep2 was looking pretty hot when it came out, but a lot of the strength was in art direction and badass realtime cutscenes. I think part of the problem was that I got stuck in the first level running around in circles with no idea where the exit was, fighting endlessly respawning zombies. Maybe my…
So I finished all of the textures and uploaded the three views today for Jade Guardian Xayah's Ultimate~ A ton went into my thought process for this and I'll try to post some of it here. I wanted to customize her indicator to give it a jade guardian's feeling while not being too busy. I struggled with making it too noisy…
Hello! First time poster here. I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind offering some critique or opinions on my demo reel? I'm a reasonably experienced artist but fairly new to the world of 3d, and I don't really have anyone in my social circle who can give me useful and honest feedback. Here's the link to my…
Is there such a thing as 'the perfect bake' when it comes to assets with cylindars? I've been modeling a hanging light fixture, which is all cylindars, and needs to be LP baked. I use Maya to Marmoset (For Bake) to Substance (For Paint) to Unreal Engine. I get things like wobbly lines, gradients, and non-perfect circles in…
I have made a wisp ( simple circle with a small glow effect ) but I need to figure out how one would rig that. I know how to rig a model... i am just curious how people would rig it specifically. If i had to guess, I would say I just make one Joint and setup a control set from that? Animate it from there? Any ideas and…
