Re: Nightshade UV Editor (Maya)
Hey Malcolm. Yes you can do this with environment variables! Go to C:/Users/ YOUR USER /Documents/maya/ VERSION / Edit the Maya.env file there. If there is none, create a new text file that you name Maya.env Inside this file we will setup paths like this: MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH = %MAYA_APP_DIR%\2017\prefs\ MAYA_MODULE_PATH =… -
Re: Sculpt first or last?
The problem with this question is that you will get many answers from Zbrush aficionados claiming that sculpting first is the way to go (no offense intended here ! :D ) But the problem with that is that since you come from a lowpoly background, you are very likely used to working with extremely responsive scenes (running… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Fisherman's Kingdom - Kimmokaunela
Is weekend already over? Little closer to to what I want but still a lot to tweak. Feels like I´m just playing with the shaders here and not so much with the models and textures :) I tweaked the ground shader to blend better with the different textures.

Re: is it possible to have a kitchen full of cooks in this industry?

Re: Sketchbook: wasabimilkshake
Yesterday I spent some time making a few pieces to comprise the middle span of a skyscraper's facade: I still need to add in some variation with sections that are broken/dirtied. I'm guessing the best way to do that will just be to create an alternate version of my textures and swap out the materials. Changing the models… -
