I think this looks great so far! It would help to show your model shaded, rather than only in white/wireframe. For example here's a great way to show off subdivision surface models: https://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions/p1#make Also, this article is an excellent read on…
Are you saying you won't read the manual because some of it is wrong? You should always be wary of everything you read, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't read. First thing I do is start playing with the app itself, see what it does. Then I look at the help file, since it's usually the most informative resource. Then…
Brad “Professor Poly” Wascher put together another course, this time for Maya users looking to learn 3dsmax You might remember a few months ago that Brad put together a course that helped 3dsmax users acclimate to Maya? Well the demand was also great for a course going the other way so he went to work. Enjoy! Oh and don't…
Maya for sure. Its the only tool in my pipeline that feels like software from 20 years ago. * Its unreliable in performing basic actions without potentially crashing or breaking what i'm working on. * There's no reason for the history because that's just going to break things down the line so you end up clearing it after…
I know I had a few small game jobs before this one, but back in the summer of 2009, when I started my internship at Sony in San Diego, I thought that was my actual break. Getting the gig through my portfolio. I was freaking out. I was a huge Nintendo fanboy at the time, and I felt like I was enemy territory. I tried to…
Im pretty sure if valve just split effects from items and made them their own thing you can attach to characters this would fix this noobery going on right now. Also making a decent tutorial and guideline for fx artists would be useful. So people cant break the colour schemes of heroes of break the look of their spells. As…
Get a drawing tablet. Even if it is a cheap one, a sub-par drawing tablet will still give you better results than trying to paint with a mouse. Painting with a mouse has always, and will always be crap. Start off with broad color blocks. Decide which major colors you want where on the model, and paint them in. Don't be…
It's the little white/grey button with a T on it, just about the middle of the top toolbar. Just to the left of the Little magnet(snaps toggle) button. If that doesn't work check your key bindings you might have switched it to something else because it shouldn't be deactivating your viewport if you have the editor open and…
homrighausen3d: The text alignment should be fixed now. St.Sabath: That was probably due to looping and cursor detection, I disabled looping, so it shouldn't be an issue now. Racer445: MK23: Right on, I'll work on the lighting some more. MP5: Thanks, I'll do what I can to work the mats a bit more to see what I can do about…
