My assumption is that you wanted to get it done as quick as possible with the current skills you have, minimizing how much new stuff you have to learn. You couldn't be further from the truth, I though I knew enough to do anything I see as quick as I can without ever having to think about the next step, but this made me…

Hi all, I'm not used to character modeling neither animation, hence my asking: What are typical workflows to send character animations into a 3D engine?

I'm kind of just thinking about loud here. But I'm curious if anyone has used vertex color in 3ds Max that goes above 1.0? We're using vert color in our game for some effects, and the artists can paint in a range from 0 to 20. Values lower than 1 use Multiply, and values more than 1 use an Additive-like method. Works…

I upgraded to Maya 2016. The first time I used it was on another person's machine. In the first 5 minutes i triggered a noticeable error. Whenever I try to move an object on a live surface by left clicking on the gizmo, a marking menu shows up. I figured "hmm, maybe the prefs folder on this machine has some weird something…
I've been lurking around polycount for a some time now and while I am still a student I figure it'd be a good idea to post some of my work to get feedback and critiques to up my game before graduation. One of my current WIP's is a game environment based on Disney's TRON franchise. So here we go: Flynn's Arcade: The current…
Might the Hollywood writers' strike be a huge snafu on the part of the writers' guild? If people are anything like me, I've almost stopped watching television, and am playing a lot more games.
