Childrens books: illustration and writing
Has anybody here had any experience of it, or have any advice about the industry? having researched a little it seems like nice job to do but doesnt pay well. But I do plan to do this as a side project to begin with to see how things go. But having my name on something published would be awesome. I've been increasingly… -
Alles Im Fluss - 3ds Max Modelling plugin - released
Hello fellow polycounters, For the start of the new year I am happy to announce that "Alles Im Fluss" (everything flows), a 3dsmax plugin to aid poly modelling is available. Alles Im Fluss provides the ability to quickly and easily draw polygon strips, connections or extrusions, and cap holes while maintaining clean,… -
Re: will A.i take over everything
yes Once you get good at something you realise that only a very small part of what makes you good is the mechanical part of doing it, The vastly more important factor is the choices you make before and while you do it. There are lots of very good illustrators and comparatively few very good concept artists because being a… -
Re: In Maya, can one mask an area of the mesh, then blur the mask, invert mask, then inflate?
Press B to toggle soft selection while in component mode. Hold down B, middle click or left click, and slide the mouse to adjust the falloff radius of the soft select. Also, you can use the quad draw tool, press B for soft select, and this will essentially work like Zbrushes move brush. But be aware of the auto-weld option… -
Re: Story Boarding woes?
You'd want storyboards even with motion captured animations, because the storyboards also set up how they will be shot. I've found it best to work on index cards for story boards, I know people who like working on one big sheet with several boxes in it because it's less stuff to keep around. But doing it on individual… -
Re: Polyviewer Ideas
I prefer Directx and I don't know why. I'm not a technical guy. All of the actual shader, lighting, maps, model viewing stuff is tops, very cool, needed wanted stuff.. I think it would be slick to have a 3d model viewer that had diagnostic features that would help in pointing out errors of a model's construction or the… -
Re: [UT3] DM-Autumn Fog (beta)
Nice nice man, the concept looks really good as well. The one main thing that is somewhat bothering me is the lighting setup, those reds (seems so bright, almost "harsh") really don't seem to fit. I mean, it seems like the base lighting is closer to white / yellow, rather then in your concept drawing which has a more… -
Re: Mudbox 2009
Here's some Zbrush tips :p (these may not be 100%, it's off the cuff ;) ) Ctrl-N = new canvas (if you've dropped your mesh) Drag on new canvas to draw the tool again Import an alpha is very simple, just go to the alpha selection on the left, click on it, go to import, and import a grayscale image, .PSD is a fine format for… -

Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
Well, naturally, not putting ANY time into art, it goes without saying that you won't improve. And making excuses not to make art is not going to help you get better. But the implication that someone who doesnt force themselves to draw even when other stuff in their life gets in the way is somehow inferior or just 'doesnt…
