i could use them. mainly where the leg meets the rest of the body/butt area. i've been trying at this off and on for a few years and looking at books but nobody ever tackles this issue or acknowlegdes that shit gets shredded up over there once the leg is lifted forward at/passed 90 degrees. anyways looking for creative…
I'm looking for some good resources/tutorials for someone switching from max to maya as the title implies. I'm terrified of learning bad practices or brute forcing my way through and opperation because I can't figure out how to do something I did in Max easily. Does anyone have stuff that they can highly recommend? Or even…
Sorry, that was meant to be more of a comment about the drivers than anything - historically they have been dogshit on the Chinese clones - eg. my last knock-off cintiq required 10 year old drivers you couldn't download anymore These days, at least with huion they seem to be pretty decent and will run on Linux (Ubuntu was…
Crease set "1,0", or Hard edges, in all borders Turbosmooth Turbosmooth again The problem. I've tried all the ways, but so far I haven't found a solution :( I used chamfer modifier, cut tool and nothing solved this. Thanks
Yes, the example looks like it was defo modeled low and subdivided. As for Max'so retop tools(freeform) in combo with the traditional toolset: hard to beat. And there is also the Wrapit plugin(not sure if it's still actively developed) which add great functionality for retop hard surface.
If you want to try different stuff or do something "new", you can do that as a refresher between projects. Because a portfolio piece does require way more time and attention. It's fun to work temporarily on something else to get some space from your portfolio project. What I recommend is that you finish 90% of your…
I can resonate with this. I had a few art tests in the latter part of last year and they can really take it out of you, especially if you get a few in a row or a 2 week one. To me they are about proving you can produce great work under pressure and to a deadline. You can take your time working on a portfolio, but you only…
There is a deadline and a budget so you want maximum efficiency. This means do the most with the least. So build as much as you can from a modular kit, using unique pieces only where absolutely necessary to meet the desired artistic goal. Modern buildings are made from modular, dimensional materials anyway, so it makes…
Here is my first attempt (though been playing with this for quite some time). I'm planning to make three types: Poor, Middle, and Rich. Poor is here, and it will be base to extrapolate to higher classes. My main problem was to find any good references, and find good proportions. Both unresolved I think ;p. Optimization and…
