Most engines I've ever dealt with are able to use both Biped and Bones. We've even used both in one rig before (Biped with extra bones hanging off). In the end all that the exporter is doing is pumping out rotation and position values to the bones in the engine so it theoretically should just be some extra work for the…
my $0.02 on this is: it's going to backfire on them horribly. with their proven track record of not only breaking each release of max, but also breaking a whole bunch of the custom plugin functionality that studios rely on for their workflows on each release, i can very much see studios just outright saying something along…
Just as a two cent reminder: You could always go the speedtree method too, which is basically easy mode if you have to model a lot of different types/variations of foliage in a short amount of time with different LODs, billboards, and all that fun stuff. Of course it's always nice to have the skills to be able to model a…
Traditional art techniques do translate over quite well into 3D mediums, but they're not a prerequisite to getting into sculpting. I've found that since I've first starting sculpting you just naturally pick up anatomy, as well as rigorously learn forms. The best thing one can do is study traditional backgrounds and…
Blaizer I think you misphrased many of your statements, leading to more and more confusion. Also, I must say that "Those who are influenced by other artists do not have style" really is utter bullshit. So Frazetta has no style huh? However if you look carefully he definitely learned alot from Bridgman. Yet you can't deny…
"a) there are no job offers for "3D sculptors"" Because regardless of what the short title of the job offer says, what matters is the actual job description. "b) someone has to sculpt all that organic, stylized stuff. So I asked who is the guy." Yes, someone has to do this indeed. It's the guy who got hired after answering…
Hi, JohannesAg! I really appreciate your advice and time to show me the fixes. I am impressed with how it improved with the adjustments to the torso. Already applied all the fixes, I hope they are noticed. The changes of anatomy, maybe some long and conscientious studies will help me in the near future. But it terrifies me…
9 months, but in total it's 24 works because I have 12 breadths which I can just do anatomy drawing studies for. But it usually takes me a weekend to nolife on entire project, and then I'm out of juice and slowly texture it during the week. I probably jut feel so busy right now because I have to study for the act and do…
There's not much to say right now. I think you really need to work on sharpening your skills with high-poly and texturing. Focus on that for awhile, break out of your comfort zone completely, do some studies studies, maybe some finished characters. Right now, nothing on your site seems finished. The top character on your…
ok, from what i can see it seems you are running circles. you are compensating accuracy with speed, ie. replacing quality with quantity. right now, you need to step back from the 3d apps and do some research and observation. step 1. google search and real life examples are all you need. ask someone you know in real life to…
