Re: first model: simple pillar
My example is more a final mesh form, but you could go in and remove more polygons and make it a bit nicer I think... Blocking out would be like drawing each obvious shape as a simple Max primitive. In the attached image I've just drawn in the cylinders for all the main parts. The top is just an appropriately sized… -
Re: [WIP] Ryuk's Death Note
Update! # 2 .Finally. Been busy with work, but I've made some progress on this. I'll be detailing below changes or additions and my brief thoughts/explanations. This is done for myself mainly but helps in answering any questions that might be had. Things I added were: The beads along the edge of notebook binding. They're… -
Re: What to learn ? (Advices please)
Do you want to learn something related to art or programming? For art: I noticed you don't have Max or Maya listed, picking up one of those would be a good idea especially if they're still offering student licenses. You don't need to have Photoshop to learn digital painting. A lot of people use it, sure, but GIMP is a… -
Re: The Man of Steel, Zack Snyder's superman film
I would say the film wasn't bad, but by the end of the film I felt as if my eyes had been assualted with an onslaught of 3D that the movie could have done without. Less is more in this case. It definitely deserves it's 57% though I feel it is worth the watch and most laymen/women will be content with what they get. I… -
Re: Should I stop working on my 3D skills?
what job role do you want to do in the industry and how fast do you want to get there?

Re: followup job emails (about sending them)
I suggest sending out an update with a link to some hot new piece you just finished. That way you're not just pestering but also driving them to go look at your stuff again. If you're fresh out of hot new pieces think about revisiting an old piece you never finished, or maybe burn some some midnight oil and crank out… -
Re: Interview Advice
well, the question "what's your weakness" is useless BECAUSE a lot of people will lie or use a textbook answer like "I work too hard", "I'm a perfectionist" or any other "weakness" that can also be a strength at the same time. Now IF everyone were honest, then it would be a good question to ask. But the interviewer now has… -
Re: PLA Troop Model
Hm, I'd err on the side of what Fritz said, generally triangles in ZBrush can be a pain - I have heard several people mention bugs where their mesh just goes crazy and throws vertices off into infinity, this only seems to happen in meshes with triangles. Generally it's fairly easy to get rid of triangles for the most part,… -
Re: Pre-Dom War V - Caution
this really leaves a sour taste in my mouth how it was going to be compulsory and only bought to light at the end of the competition. He should of contacted artists individually after the competition and asked for permission that way, unfortunately its just another poor decision on his end. -
