Re: I just got my first paid job offer and I'd like some input
In Europe beginners rate is about 300per day, and by day I mean 8 hours max (anything less unless its a long time contract or you are really shit, which you are not, is not acceptable) So you do the maths :) But for the love of God (or Satan) make a contract and have them sign it before you do any actual work. Include… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag Baking with multiple texture sets can break padding.
The second image has everything but the meshes with the most issues removed. However, this may have to do with a bake catcher mesh I was using to get the baker to recognize some pieces I placed just to provide AO, and its interaction with texture sets, rather than the textures sets themselves. Doing some QA on this, will… -
Handy things to know! that I dont know yet. (Help Maya)
Hey, got a few questions about Maya. 1: array (or I think this is the correct name.) for example: I made a book and now I want to put it in a array so that it randomizes the x for every new book on the shelf. (I have seen a similar option available for particles.) 2: Face normal placement If I grab a object I want to be… -
Re: Thoughts on the Stop Killing Games movement?
currently at 985,272. To get the petition onto official desk(s), getting over the threshold and further will help. Various Youtube channels are spreading the word about it. -
Wet knife
If I could get some feedback on this project I am working on. I am using 3d max and Vray, it is all procedural texturing. -
Re: UE5 PBR Lightning
The sun 'is' 120k lux before clouds/atmosphere get involved iirc - don't quote me but i think the 75k that the sun position plugin provided by Unreal uses is probably in the right ballpark for actual light hitting earth (i will immediately concede to anyone who has done actual research into this - im doing the sums in my… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback
Hi @alefrizzo I have a few notes if you'd like my 2 cents. 1. You're currently leading with some of your weaker pieces. The grass and mosaic, for example, don’t show your strengths as clearly as your environment work does. First impressions matter a lot, and you want to start strong. 2. There’s a heavy focus on props… -
[WIP][SubD Topology][Maya] Best way to close rounded bottle/test-tube end?
Hi! I’m new to modeling and practicing SubD in Maya. I’m working on a bottle-like piece and I’ve reached the rounded end (think test-tube bottom). I’m not sure what the best way is to close this shape under smooth. Because it’s SubD I assumed it should be all quads instead of collapsing to the center, but when I fill it… -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I started looking in to making a bunch of glass containers. With all the references I gathered and looking at the scene, I feel like there's going to be a lot of different bottles, jars, vials, etc. The more variation the better; different silhouettes, sizes and such will help make the scene feel busy. But I really didn't… -
Re: Do people still create trees like this?
Here are some "current gen" examples. Horizon Zero Dawn (don't mind the tech talk there's a short piece on tree creation towards the end): https://ubm-twvideo01.s3.amazonaws.com/o1/vault/gdc2018/presentations/gilbert_sanders_between_tech_and.pdf Here the bottoms of the tree have more detailed meshes because that's closer…
