Any suggestion for traveling on bus with a laptop to make 3d? Stands or gadgets?
I'll be making a long bus trip soon (Krakow to Munich, using Flixbus), and was thinking of taking my laptop and mouse with me to try make some 3D while traveling. I've never done this, and it probably won't be the most comfortable, but I wanted to give it a try nonetheless. Does anyone know a stand or platform to place… -

Re: Best workflow for gravel-roads?
Here's a quick way to to it procedurally in Max using pflow, it might work for you (if you're using max :P) : Build a couple tiny pebble models of various sizes.

Re: Making your work stand out when aspiring to become a Junior Environment Artist
I'm taking some design assumptions to this, but I feel this applies to character design as well. Choose designs well. Don't just do something because you think it's cool.

Re: UDK Anoying Normal Map Seam Doesn't Make Any Sense.
From what I can tell and what I've read, you'll get better results by mirroring horizontally.

Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
Actually, I'm not really sure if I'm making any sense to myself at the moment. Might have stayed up for a bit too long. I just had a look at my own latest wooden sculpt and realized I sculpted it in myself :p What I meant though, is that when taking a look at a lot of photos of wood, which would be used as a base for the…
