Yeah I'll probably try to pick up a second hand mac mini as well. Though I might go for a higher spec one with a non intel integrated GPU if I can afford it. Then again maybe having a lower spec system to test on would be a good thing... Is there anything I should look out for when buying second hand mac hardware? I hear…
Well one should expect it to be out of question to hand it Tutorial stuff as portfolio but well people tend to suprise. It's not for me since i always have problems following teachers because it's boring^^. Tutorial DVDs are cool if you want to get an overview of basic functions of a lot of programs at the same time (like…
I think with hand painting textures there is some many choices, stylistically, its hard to offer advice over and above foundational stuff with what you've shown there. Did you have any reference of the style you are going for? maybe some pre- existing game assets you've seen or something. That way we can be a bit more…
This is going to probably come off a bit harsh but I don't mean it that way, and feel free to ignore it if your ego bruises easily. You are attempting to do something artistic that requires skills you don't have, yet. So you totally have a right to be frustrated and of course its going to look like ass, there are some…
Hello, unfortunately I can’t show the current project. I will probably create a new scene when I have some free time and show it instead, since I’m not able to share the current one. Video reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5fTnIBziXc The issue with my scene is that I can’t achieve the same sense of volume as the…
First off let say this, I've been using film and digital SLRs for about the same time(which is not long, and i am no expert) however, I feel this gives me a pretty balanced perspective on the pros/cons. I buy/sell film equipment on ebay in my spare time, so i've been forced to do quite a bit of research on various camera…
Hi, Does anyone know a way to automatically select all hard edges of a mesh? If I import an .obj file from Blender with creased edges to Maya it looks like they get imported as hard edges. Now all I want to do is to convert the Hard Edges into Creased Edges. Or if anyone knows a way to directly import Creased Edges into…
Hello, Adding to the great info above : in its current state your head texture is already higher res than the one seen in the lowpoly TF2 Engineer demake. Therefore besides technical tricks like miroring or reusing UVs, you also need to practice painting textures at the pixel level, handling them in a impressionist manner.…
Hello! I've recently been working on this project, really trying to focus on manual retopology and uving. The big issue for this model is around the one outer edge. I used hard/soft edges for this model and solved some artifacts by changing that edge to a soft edge, however now I'm noticing an issue with the normals. I did…
