Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
Hello everyone! I am currently upgrading my system to improve performance. I'm working on a freelance job in Blender involving a lot of very poly dense industrial models converted from CAD files. With most objects in the project, it takes a long time for edit mode to load up, while object mode is running smoothly. I have… -
Re: Currently teaching myself the low poly/high poly workflow, I could use some advice.
Thanks I appreciate the responses. So when I modeled my chair, I used an edit poly and blocked out the cushions and armrests the best I could, paying close attention to the turbosmooth so I can work in sort of a hybrid workflow for when I need my high poly later. I am confused though why people do not use turbosmooth with… -
Re: Modular Vs Non-Modular In Environment Design
I've done both workflows, multiple times each with different pipelines/companies. I agree with Stromberg90's points. But the downsides to level editing in a 3d modeling app are the problems of using an app that wasn't designed with level editing in mind. Instancing, physics, sound, interactables, etc., any game-required… -
Re: Substance - Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Hey everyone! I think I've encountered a bug in the latest update for Substance Painter. Whenever I start a new project and import my mesh, it doesn't look right at all in terms of appearance. Not only that, but if I try and apply a material, it will randomly crash. Also when I try and paint in an empty layer with no mask… -
Re: New polycount! woo!
I like having that status info on the bottom rather than under the avatar because it actually saves more space than before and doesnt waste any extra since its sharing the same line as the report, quote and reply buttons use anyway. But what would be nice if you can hide that info, just like you can hide avatars and sigs.… -
Re: How is GIMP these days?
I've been using Gimp for about a year now, after years of using Photoshop. I had no problems getting used to Gimp's user interface, and generally was able to learn it rather quickly. I have not done any 2D painting in it, just typical image editing and adding details to my 3D renders. Overall Gimp works well. It's more… -
Re: New Texture Site (www.ultimatetextures.com)
I only looked at a handfull textures... they seem fine quality wise, clean colormaps, strong normal and heightmaps (which look a lot like crazybump stuff ?). The prices really are ridiculous tho, specially considering that most textures will never be usable in your engine/project right away and will need tweaks. A decent… -

Mmm, this is interesting. But could you elaborate a little bit on the topic? Maybe demonstrate with a couple of pics if you have the time? I'm sure it would help lot's of guys over here, myself included! :) If I were Mechadus, I would just chamfer those hard edges on the low poly, and it would probably fix it, right? Most… -
Re: Average salary for freelance 3d artist?
In my experience, typical man-day rates in India from low-mid-high quality are generally $135 - $175 - $195. China's about the same, except their low-end can go as low as $90 and their high-end averages out around $225. For US individual contractors I generally see $250 - 450\day, but the cream of the crop are usually $500… -
Re: Do studios fire cannabis users if they find out?
Ah...actually it's not that bad. The anger issue simmers down after a few days without the weed. I wonder if it's just a quick withdrawal symptom. I thought that the anger issue was a fairly common problem for creative types. Well, although I am the only creative/artistic one in the entire family, the anger issue runs in…
