Normal skewing issue
Now I know why it is happening and how to fix it: "Insert an extra edge" But this just makes me wonder. Is this really the proper way to do this? Is there not an easier way? I tried thing like editing the tangents or splitting the surface around it's edges. But these methods did not give proper results. (I might have done… -
Robot Pilot Dude! - Portfolio piece.
Hey Polycounters. Heres my current portfolio project. So this dude is supposed to be a robot pilot, just stepping out of his robot machinery cockpit. Thats why hes wearing all that metal/mechanical stuff. Im probably going to compose a little scene too, nothing big, with the guy standing on top of or near parts of the… -
Re: [UDK] My first 3d scene - WIP
Hello again! After glancing trough PhilipKs tutorials on custom materials I felt that the one I was using was far from good looking. So I decided to learn how to sculpt my own medieval brick wall and push myself even further to make this project look as professional as possible. So I downloaded Sculptris and man I must… -
Re: Need some help unwrapping
Hi, I wouldn´t say that you ran out of space. All you need to do is to shrink down what you have in there to make more space in the green quad.

Re: DOTA2 Hero Shader - 3DS Shader Material - RELEASED!

Re: Age of an artist
Definitely not 30 :) You're still just a baby:P From what I gather a majority of artists in the game industry gain positions in their mid 20's. That said from a company standpoint I'm sure they'd rather hire someone who is younger so they can grow into a role rather then picking up someone who will have to retire in a… -
Re: marketing your name
Hm My nick has always worked for me. Most people just call me BoBo which I actually prefer over my real name. In our office its actually worked out for the best as we have 4 Brians working here. 3 of them artist. If I was in another industry, I would definitely see a need for conformity. In the game industry I dont… -
Re: best./easiest 3D program?
[ QUOTE ] This in itself is just plain unfriendly. Just as unfriendly as the XSI where you have to tap S, then move, then tap it again to go back to edit mode. [/ QUOTE ] You don't have to do that if you have sticky keys enabled- say you're moving points around and decide you want to move the camera, you press and hold… -
