Re: Handpainted textures practice
Thanks for the replies :) I want to make a small diorama scene to practice hand-painted texturing and here I have my start (being inspired by the throne room contest ). The geometry is not final, so if you have any suggestions, please reply! :) It's also loosely based on this concept: Link -
Re: Maya 2009: Split Edge
kodde: Thanks for the reply, but all three of those are poly cutting tools that do not do what I'm trying to describe. All I want to do, is break the mesh along a previously selected loop/edges. chronic: Thanks for the reply. I'm looking to break an edge selection not a face selection. -
Re: Getting started in VFX
Hey there! Always exciting to meet people interested in getting into VFX, there aren't enough of us around! I started doing FX around 5 years ago, first just doing simple texture replacements, then working on a few Source engine mods after I got to know the particle editor. A few of the members of my mod teams moved over… -
Re: New Toy ---- Wacom Cintiq
Hey guys, Sorry for not replying sooner, I've been really busy workin' on AOTS. Anwyay, I use it as my screen replacement.

It has… -

Re: Advice to Improve my 3D Character Art Portfolio

They're a little hard to understand/cryptic, and that's the last thing you need when applying to a more practical job where you will usually be replicating a more down-to-earth concept. You may… -
Re: What books should 3d artist read about lightning and anatomy?
Some lighting books I've been consulting for the lighting training I'm creating: * Digital Lighting and Rendering (Birn) * Placing Shadows (Chuck Gloman) - this is about real lighting for film / photography. Since our goal is to replicate real-world lighting, it makes sense to understand how real-world light sources work.… -
Re: Piracy...
And by what measure can you claim that publishers can't make a good profit with lower priced goods? They're games comprised of data that is stored in a data format that is easily replicated without depletion. To not take advantage of that kind of price elasticity under the assumption that they've earned the higher price is…
