Hi all, I am new to modelling. I am a part of the team at ULU (udklearning.com). I had a lot of tutorials at my disposal but lacked direction. Thanks to the guidelines outlined in their courses I was able to make some headway. Below is my first High poly model. I made this after following a tutorial on making an RPG-7.…
just a heads up: photo is out of beta now and can be purchased. special offer for the next two weeks or so (seems to be valid for both windows and the mac version that has been out for a while now). if you have the beta installed and are upgrading to the commercial release - don't do like i just did and deinstall the beta…
Quitting your job and working on 3D is actually the fun part. Compare it to other jobs where you might be working in a factory and standing behind an assembly line all day with no promotion in sight. At least with 3D, you know what you're doing benefits not only others but yourself. Be very fortunate though you have…
Hey, thanks BIGTIMEMASTER! I literally just googled wrong things liks: "IMMBrush shorter" etc. (>.<) Anyway thanks for the link! There where some good guides in there! What for me worked: 1. select brush "ZRemesherGuides" and draw a line or a circle (with shift) 2. draw 2 lines where the cut should be 3. while holding alt…
So far there's not much to comment on. Your model has quite alot of chamfered edges, which makes it hard to see exactly whats going on (especially at a low res). Your unwrap looks pretty clean to me, but as said above, alot of space going to waste there. Personally id start with modelling a 7 sided cylinder as a base mesh,…

The thing about David narrating is that he knows his stuff, he's spent more time in jungles than most of us have been alive! What does Opera Know about zoology, at least Weaver had made Gorillas in the Mist! He's one of the best thing about the BBC, a real inspiration. The planet earth Blu-rays are amazing, as is this deal…
I work in television - core hours of 9a to 7 p. hour lunch taken between 1 and 3. Crunch times can last as long as 18 to 20 hours. No overtime pay. No vacation, no sick days. They look at us as Freelance but we are required to show up to the office every day and put in the mandated 10 hours. If we miss time we get our pay…
I agree with these replies. Also check your silhouette as you model (hit '7' in Maya, unless you've placed a light). You generally don't want any geometry that doesn't affect the silhouette. As for the vents, I made this for you. It's probably not the only way to do it, but it took me maybe 2 minutes to do. And then after…
1. Get Endverts of 1 selected edge 2. Get all edges connected to the endverts 3. Get all endverts of this edges 4. determine which of these verts form a new edge as a pair 5. save the pair(you will most likely get 2 pairs, one in each direction) 6. do the same procedure again for the edges between the vert-pairs, except…
