Re: Zbrush questions
yeah zbrush is quite a beast out of the box and is nothing like any other app.. so while learning it you really have to throw anything you have learned from other packages out the window.. its a slow start but once you really dig into it, it will make more sense than max or maya.. i really hated the interface at first ..… -
(WIP) Lone Victorian House on a Desert Hill Environment (UE4)
(7/21/22) Hello Polycount! I have started working on a new environment project and am in the early pre-production/testing and planning phase of development. My idea is to create a Queen Anne Victorian house but with a more simplified American style in a Mojave desert setting. This comes from inspiration that I took from my… -
Re: HATRED: has senseless violence in video game gone too far? (Yes)...
This is where it gets tricky. I feel pretty strongly about freedom of speech/expression and consider it to be an absolute value that should remain uncompromised for as long as possible. There are of course instances where freedom of speech does not apply. Hiding behind free speech to directly threaten the personal safety… -
Re: Can you liveoff freelancing? - tips welcome
I think there are 3 key factors to successfully freelancing. 1) location: you need to make sure you live somewhere that has a lot of work and demand for your skills. 2) networking: knowing people across various studios and industries is going to make it a lot easier for getting work. although saying that, do not be afraid… -
Re: Help required with a survey about modeling needed for scientific research..
What modeling application do you use? Blender 2.5x What pluses and minuses does it have? For modeling, it is extremely fast and flexible (modifiers really help). It also has an extremely unobtrusive interface, so most modeling can be done on a maximized view. I like this because it feels much more tactile than other… -
Re: AAS in Animation? Done. What next? Guidance on my degree crossroads
Thanks for the input guys. I won't waste my money on Devry or any high priced school. And I'll be working like a slave on my portfolio this summer after classes are over. Everything I have to show from the school year was rushed, and I really want to go back and redo a lot of things. That's mostly the reason I haven't… -
Re: Government bailouts and the Auto Industry?
I said in a previous post that I drive 40-50 miles round trip if I don't make any stops and if I don't go back out after I get home, which I almost always do. I'll explain why, skip this part if you don't care. If you drive less then 40 miles a day then you're lugging around gas and all of its heavy equipment. Even if you… -

Re: (FINISHED) California Gas Station Environment (UE4) (NEW REMASTER UPDATE (8/8/24)
Hello Polycount. I am back with another update. After recovering from burning out, I have been hard at work again but think I might have to delay this for another month to actually finish it. I just want to get it done and move on to greener pastures at this point. Feels like I've been working on this forever. I have made… -
Re: Tweak the Weight Tool?
I managed to make all the changes I wanted but I still have a piece of code to correct. Currently if you select a bone in the viewport, the popup Skintools don't follow. You have to select the bone in Skintool's list to change the weight of a vertex. I'm looking since yesterday, but I feel that it's beyond my capacity with…
