Here are some good YouTube channels that might help you, they sure did help me grasp Modo faster after switching from Maya: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDmOobbSOonY66M6fsJO7GQ https://www.youtube.com/user/patcran/featured https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2NYo3MqqKi96TqQyl5_jQ…
A lot of the CG advantage is due to having enough time to render the 'real' thing and at a very high precision. Games need to fit into 30 or 60fps so they need to use approximations: normal mapped impostors instead of detailed meshes with displacement, shadow maps and lightmaps / light probes instead of raytraced shadows…
Hey guys, I'm back! Unfortunately, I don't have much time to work on things as much as I would like right now (hence the situation I mentioned in the first post). Luckily for me though, the deadline is far enough for me to finish this guy. Anyways, thanks for the comments. I really appreciate them. Keep'em coming. Marine -…

I have no idea about the first though that would be disappointing if they were to go rental only, I would say modo 10+ isn't outdated really all the plugins should work etc but I dunno about indie specifically. As for industry work id say be ready to adapt, maybe you can be the modo guy and convert people, blender is…
It was an amazing experience working with my fellow character artists Hai, Chris and Josh. And of course having a delightfully British (LOL) and skilled Art Director like Darren to be our backbone was very humbling. I really have to thank Hai for really helping me with my first full time gig making characters, there was…
Nice! Some good advice too. I'm glad you're open to it. That attitude with your reel in a few months is going to go over pretty well. - I really like the length, try to keep it under 2min 2:30 is probably pushing it. - I like the golem style and the jumpy walk is fun. It might be a little too peppy for a rock golem but it…
Nice to see your stick-with-itness for these busts. Keep it up. It definitely pays off :D However, You're still falling into a rut when it comes to the facial proportion of each of these last 4 or 5 busts. They are almost identical, bro. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself. If I were you, I'd pick something completely…
Just peeped the Marmo scene on your Artstation, REALLY nice work :thumbup: Your material definition is mostly solid and I think you found a great balance with the damage - nice small detail paint damage on the cabinet that's subtle enough keep it interesting without being too noisy, some large rust damage to break things…
"Hahahahah, it's like Reefer Madness" hehe just recently i was at borders and found a dvd collection of 2 hours of 1950's educational films on sex and drugs, the crap those kids were fed. first one i saw was of a little boy and girl discussing drug and comparing it to other real life habits, and everytime they made the…
