What modeling application do you use? An older version of 3DS Max, will be using Maya for school this year. Also worked with a bunch of other software but I'll be answering the questions from a 3DS Max perspective. What pluses and minuses does it have? + Modifiers.

It's a shame we didnt get to talk on the earlier stages of your work. You've got some good stuff going here, however, allow me to offer some feedback.

As requested from Artquest (but i hope it will be usefull to many other people) i decided to do a mini tutorial (better to call it "a bunch of tips") to explain my baking workflow. There isn't really anything more than the things that someone who bake low poly models should already know. Anyway, let's get started. Image A:…
I wish i hadn't broken my foot in 2, maybe i would have kept going to the gym after that incident i lost it all! i stopped drawing because of the depression put upon me by my superiors, everyone put faith in me becoming an Amazing artist so it no longer became fun when i started getting requests or the conversations about…
What Farfarer said. You can't expect people to view your Website with a maximized browser, assuming they are viewing it on a PC at all.
