If you take a look at job postings on the gaming companies websites they always say "Strong knowledge of Maya/3ds max required" so knowing Maya won't hurt. Speaking for the software itself Maya has an organized interface and modeling is vey fast. It's heavily based on context menus and hotkeys for the main tools. Basically…
Robeomega, it's not a bad question at all. It really depends on the studio. Some studios have a very diverse pipeline. Others, not so much (and don't bother asking to use what you like). Usually there is at least one monolithic application used to push assets to engine -usually Maya or Max - and artists on the team are…
Why do you have a flash thingy for a static images? Burn it. Burn it with fire. (or make very good use of it, but your site is so simple it needs no flash) I also think your thumbnails are painfully small, as is the whole site in general. The content area looks about 550 pixels high, which makes me thing you made it to fit…
it depends is the correct answer, so yes i do think in the long run it is more helpful than saying "don't do this, it is bad". why is it bad? if you can not back up your claims or if you do not give context it's just pointless remarks. the question is just not as easily answered as "yes starting with zbrush is a bad idea",…
No, but even then, the whole point of what you wanna do is to have an animator draw on top of a frame. But the content of each frame changes frame-by-frame with the decisions of the player, which is unlike non-realtime where the content of each frame is known ahead of time. That means that you couldn't have an animator…

Basically though, Marmoset Toolbag is a really easy to use and flexible model viewer that is great for quick preview of your textures while working on them, and high quality display/renders for portfolios etc. It is true that you can…
^ i see. that's the logic i'm using but i think the other pieces simply aren't really better than that one. maybe i'll add some color stuff to this folder but it's lowest priority right now. --- So, i made few changes, deleted some stuff and re-arranged few pictures. There's probably still too much pics it so i'll perhaps…
ah Common Poop, give me a break man. You're watching ONE SINGLE thought process that I'm using in ONE context and making this massive generalization that i use that process in EVERYTHING that i do. you don't like it because it smells like bullshit that you've heard before from people who use that process out of context..…
Actually, he has a point, snemmy. A lot of anime is based off of manga. And its quite common for the anime to end up having considerably more "content" then the manga its based on. Manga is tied to a fixed weekly or monthly release schedule. This release schedule rarely ever deviates, and if it does, it is usually for the…
