Glad to see Autodesk is pushing MudBox forward rapidly. Vector Displacements seem like a real game changer; very excited to start using them in our pipe. A library of Vector Displacement maps seems like it could be really powerful for kit bashing. As feature-rich as Z-Brush is, Mudbox is a much more elegant workflow that I…
Thank you! ^^ That is kinda my goal with that tool. The native Maya UV tools have been lacking for so long. Autodesk keeps saying "we´ve improved the UV tools" for every new version of Maya since they implemented Unfold3D - but in reality the updates are miniscule at best. If you have an Autodesk account you can vote for…
Same here. The new DVD is just sitting there on my desk gathering dust. If you're forced to use it, show your mgmt how much of your time is being lost beta-testing for Autodesk, persuade them to go back. If you absolutely have to use it, keep in constant contact with Autodesk. Submit bugs, read the forums, check their…
Just got this back from Autodesk: I just had this issue and solved it by:- in Max, click on the model part you want to work on and GoZ- in ZB, create an instance of your model and enter Edit Mode- to keep working, back in Max, do Preferences/Init ZBrush and press "Yes" on warning popup Repeat the above for the others mesh…
It sort of would. I just hope the way things are going with Autodesk, Pixologic atleast implements a bridge between blender and zbrush while they are bridging Keyshot, I dont see that happening for next 10 years. With that being said; I hope Autodesk Business consultants take their faces out of their asses and actually…
Are you a university student? Because if you are, you can download a free educational licence of Autodesk 3ds Max or Maya - the two top tier 3d packages when it comes to games. If you're not a student, look into blender Once you have a program, spend some time with the introductory tutorials and get to grips with the basic…
Add a tally to the list for me. Softimage gave Autodesk quite a few good things when they were rolled into the fold. the newest point release actually merged unfold 3d with XSIs UV tools, which were in desperate need of an update. Don't forget the ICE system which has been a boon for creating all sorts of cool effects. So…
Here is the source. Remember 3 million isn't alot, one could say it's realistic numbers. We all should know that AutoCAD is Autodesk main source of income; surely not M&E. Adobe Creative Cloud is doing well and I must admit, from reading pirating recent versions of Adobe software has become impossible; that also means that…
http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Learning-AutoDESK-Maya-Foundation-with-Dvd/Autodesk-Maya-Press/e/9781897177426/?itm=6 The Learning Maya books are great. The Foundation book gives you a good start, then there's the Advanced Modeling and Animation, and Special Effects and Lighting books. I have all three for Maya 7, and was…
I received an email today from Autodesk/Discreet. The student version of max is onsale for the holidays and into the new year.
