Then I think it is, yes. I've personally always gotten the best and most consistent result in straightforward orientation than a more posed one, outside of rigging 'simplicity'. But I'm well aware that I'm not the best rigger around, but that said I haven't been very lucky with the supplied rigs I've worked with. I…
Have you tried getting a different UC-Logic pens? A lot of non-wacom stuff can feel a bit like knockoffs from china, so the quality isnt exactly top notch. Regarding Pixologic, they are their own unique beast. Being local I have the pleasure of knowing a few of their staff. One of the inspirations for their design choice…

I thought this would be easy using the smooth sculpting tool in Maya. However, it's proving really difficult. I'm just not able to even out…
Hello, I'm a graphic designer in the U.S. looking to purchase/build a computer to learn 3D modeling and animation. I'm in the process of researching hardware and software to get an idea on what I would need. I'm looking at working with 3DS Max, Maya or Strata software. As a designer I'm unfamiliar with PCs and the…
Hi I've modeled an interior from a concept posted on this forum (one of the failed noob monthly challenges choices) and I think I've done the unwrapping completely wrong.
