Re: Moving presets from one computer to another...
Well, for 3dsmax, all your preferences are stored in the UI folder of the main program directory. If you fire up the program and go to Customise User Interface, you can save out all your preferences from each panel there. Likewise, you'd probably wanna copy the "Plugins" and maybe "Scripts" folders across... maybe the Help… -
Re: baking normals help???
If you are using Blender I'd highly suggest looking into using Cycles for your renders. Cycles is built right into the latest versions of Blender, is fast, and can produce very good results. It's very easy to get it going in Blender. For normal maps, to bake the high poly details to a texture to use on the low poly mesh, I… -
ZBrush 4 DragRect Problem
I have recently started using ZBrush 4 and am finding some differences between the way the brushes work between 3.5 and the new release.

Re: Vent: Art Contract rates in forum are getting ridiculous
@Andreicus 8 euros per hour is more than 10USD per hor these guys were looking to pay that per day, not per hour. @JunkieKong : i agree that they are not australia based as they claim. they are likely in malaysia, thailand, taiwan or vietnam, or similar.

Re: What content do you want to see on the front page?
Polycount is a free page and done is most folks' free time. I don't care what is on the front page. If this was a paid service geared towards industry exposure and getting employment, then sure the shitposts don't belong on the front page. You know if you see something on the front page that you don't like, don't fucking… -
Re: Joopson's Portfolio Website Design (no art yet)
Projects would be things I work on in a group setting. My school has something pretty cool called "Game Wizards", which is essentially a student production team. We make games. And so, work I do with them would be put in the "Projects" area. Which, to me, is really relevant, because it's experience. -
Maya 2013 - Shading Errors when combining meshes
Hey folks, I recently dug out an already completed model of mine for portfolio update purpose.

Re: Is Maya becoming the industry standard? Advice on retraining in Maya also needed.
That's a good point too, There is the issue of application specific tools that sometimes get written. Maintaining those across multiple 3D apps is a real nightmare, not just for the people writting two sets of tools but for the users also. People can use their package of choice for 95% of the work then switch to take…
