Programs are many and most of them can do similar things. Get trial versions and try them out to see what fits your taste. Noone here can say what program is the right one for you...have a look at the Wiki for a list of tools available. Tutorials are great for learning the basic techniques, but nothing teaches you better…
Well what I mainly don't like is that it's impossible to tell that a mesh has hidden parts, especially because it also tends to affect the bounding box corners Max displays on selection. You can even go so far to have a mesh that becomes completely invisible and thus unselectable, even though technically visible on an…
I disagree. Super Mario Bros. and its family of pixelated games have timeless visuals, almost specifically because of the highly constrained technology. It seems like most people feel like early (or even contemporary) 3D game art will somehow be different and become forever obsolete as the new hotness rolls around. But I…
what kind of control and finetuning are you referring to? no, you can't create a six-legged biped with two heads and four arms from biped parts alone. but of course you can add other objects to the hierarchy as you wish. in my book: - animation control is pretty good: no stupid ik/fk switches: just grab a bone, rotate or…
From the stuff I have been doing at home I generally ignore the lower poly model at the start. The reason for this is that I don't want to be constrained by the final low poly piece when working on the high poly version. I'd say that for the concept you chose the Zbrush part is quite a while away, and you can do most of it…
Hey guys I recently tried re-opening an older project that I want to take some renders of for my portfolio however it wont open and gives me the crash report below. I am worried that the file might be permanently broken. Is there any way to resolve the problem? MachineId: EpicAccountId: Unknown exception - code 00000001…
Hello! This is another tank that I did for the same project as the Aquilon-7. The tank together with the second pack of cannons and a ram contains ~ 46k trigons. I used blender to create mesh, modo for bevel backing, and 3D coat to create textures & UV. Artstation also contains more renders, shooting animations and…
BFF did work great, but has gathered a bit of dust since then. Another way would be to save the source Max file, then create a Container or Xref in the target scene. Everytime you save the source, the target Container would be updated. If Xref, IIRC you have to manually refresh the target .
As was suggested I reworked the arms a bit and I think this looks a alot better then the tiny arms he had before:thumbup:. Let me know what you think:poly142:. I've also spent a bit of time on the Uvw's, since we are allowed to use two 512x512 maps I decided to split the model up in two maps, one containing the character…
Hi Guys, season two of the Wacom pen dilemma The plastic containing my Wacom green thingy has broken off partly so I tried to pull it apart. Seems it pull apart, but the green Wacom thing is stuck to the lower half containing the eraser. Is there a way I can get it loose from the lower half? I am using the intuos 3 Wacom…
