[HELP] What is the easiest way to make roads and intersections in 3ds max?
I drew a map in photoshop and adjusted the ratio, imported it in 3ds max and applied it on plane mesh but what then? I've watched several youtube tutorials but they don't talk about intersections. So what is the easiest and most effective way to make it work? -
Re: Portfolio review & feedback.
I'm by no means an expert, but I feel like they don't pop? I think it's the lighting. They're not flat, but I feel like it doesn't really make them stand out; I think perhaps more contrast could be good. Darker shadows, and lights positioned so the shiny parts really catch the light and highlight the details, like the… -
Re: Stylized Minecart - Looking for feedback
Your minecart looks stunning! I think you did a great job with match most of the reference. The main things that stick out to me that you could improve on are the front part of the cart in the ref is at a slight angle, which lends a lot the the silhouette being less cube like and more organic looking. Also The coal in the… -

Re: Can´t open a file, help me.

Re: Need opinion on what a good topology is
@EndlessTinker What's right depends on what the model is being used for, what the desired result is and any technical limitations or special considerations that need to be made for it work in the engine. There's overlap in the general strategy of laying out topology for models but what's acceptable in a low poly model will… -
Re: Technical artists, how do you grow into senior roles?
I can't say much about leadership in the 3d world. In the army, I learned leadership the same way you learn anything. Trial and error. You can sum it up simply as finding a way to get people to do things they don't want to do. Many ways to accomplish that, but typically aiming to inspire through example is the most… -
Re: Website redesign!
Thanks for all the comments! Yeeeahh I thought the right side menu would be confusing for some people at first, maybe i can find a way to make it more obvious, or more confusing even. Pior, I thought at some point to have the renders there in large but it seemed it would make the pages too heavy to load (?), as it is…
