jocose: Depends on the stage of the project, but I tend not to do too much "art" at work - I do the occasional highpoly/lowpoly/texture (usually item/weapon asset stuff), but it's mostly in-game implementation, Maya scripting, performance optimisation and general workflow stuff. This stuff is mainly just me wanting to get…
That does not mirror my experience in modo. I've a 2mil poly scene open right now with a solid ~63 fps when zoomed out. For memory I get around 15-30 fps with a 13mil scene I've got. The only problems I've had with high geo stuff is exporting; sometimes I have to export half my items to once to avoid it crashing (though…
That monitor uses a TN panel, which means poor colors and viewing angles, not suitable for art. Look for an IPS or *VA panel. For the same price point you can get one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236335&cm_re=asus_ips-_-24-236-335-_-Product Though personally I would go with a 24" at…
Assuming you're working in Maya, you can isolate a group node and anything inside the group will be added to your isolation view. Conversely, anything removed from the group will be hidden from view. You can easily MMB drag and drop items into and out of groups using the Outliner, which bypasses any reference/template…
The detail density seems a little bit too high I think (amount of cracks , wrinkles, information per area), but not too much. It would just probably not read that well anymore if put on a wow character and zoomed out appropriately. This also seems to be the main difference between the black hand and your item. Other than…
XMD challenge has added a 2 day extension, finishes Sunday instead of today which makes me a very happy bunny and will give me time to add some items I thought I would have to leave out! Currently adding some details and playing with lighting as i really wasn't happy with the light in the previous images (I have no idea…
Here are the 3 uploaded folders. Animal Female Guides/tutorials/muscle anatomy/ color theory stuff/shading tips, tricks ect.ect: 900+MB (however somewhat outdated or old, most might be useful however) ^Students might want to grab that one. https://mega.co.nz/#F!R9YzQaSS!n2yX9beu355QMiS7TF12hQ Your welcome HiGuy.

We went over some math/art related items for our general education at the beginning of the degree. As far as textbooks, we had a online course that really didn't have a textbook. We used Aleks but all other information was taught via lecture. Sorry, I'm not much help here. :( The solid huge textbooks that we do have are…
Sweet! I can stop dragging my heels now! Do you set up your lighting on a per-hero basis, or is it worth it to make a file with one lighting setup, so that I can bring in any of my other sets and items that I work on? Do you think it's worth putting the Dota 2 Hero Shader stuff into maya to get the proper…
Never even saw the 'link' until you pointed it out. Should consider rethinking the UI portion of that if you really want people to view these items. Also, you could always handout 'custom' links to potential employers, ie yoursite.com/companyname which just re-directs to your home page. This way, Google will track that…
