i've never ever encountered that. does zbrush crash in these instances where the file vanishes? for me if it crashes (thankfully rarely enough) it leaves behind the .zzz temp file that is being created during a save. perhaps you have background software interfering with your file system in some way? or are you switching…
Neither application exposes all the tools available through the UI so it's not always obvious what can be done with button clicks, a little scripting can go a long way towards making your life better. I'm pretty adept with both and honestly for UV work there's not a lot to choose - especially since 2018 came along I tend…
Thanks for the response. I'll try to make a better mesh next time. I was doing extensive tests on both mecanim and udk animTree. I was going to export a custom rigged character into both engines, but I ran out of time and made the head instead. Doing facial setup is challenging but i was fortunate enough to finish this…
Games that you like. Too many, but not enough. Games that you hate. While opinionated from my side: neverwinter nights 2, taking something that was very promising, building from a previous game that had the largest, most extensive modding and multiplayer community you can find and then just doing it all wrong. Dragon age…
Figured it out. If you have the steam version go here C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 3\main everything with extension .iwd has textures in it. You can open those files and extract the contents with winrar, they're just a container, 7zip doesn't work for some reason though? Then…
TheWinterLord - it's not nyr's yet hippy! TaylorHood - yeah, i thought i'd doll out sum decent cash so i don't have to worry about upgrading it for a few years and make sure it's reasonably future proof.... EricWK - my brother and friends keep on saying "build it yourself", but i'm more of an artist than an IT guru - and…
I think it depends a lot on the role and the company's idea about it how much weight they give your resume and cover letter. I.e. if you ramp up for a huge production with dozens of artists, then the folio probably counts most. If you recruit for a small team then other skills than just pure art skills will be important.…
The games you named are fundamentally different than what he's asking for. You're describing the simple diffuse-only style, which can be found anywhere. 90% of 3D mobile games use it. The games he listed use full materials in the otherwise painterly style. I prefer that style as well. DotA 2 is like that, though the…
Ok first off unless you are using cad program like solidworks, autocad, alias or fusion360 getting the kind of precision you are after will just take forever with traditional 3d tools. Unless you are provided with cad data like most car racing game companies do and you model on top of it after extensive cleaning operation…
I've done an extensive search on studios, their locations and the greatest mass per area is definitely Austin. Also $700 a month will get you a decent apartment within driving distance of your job site, though their may be some questionable characters around. This site offers a lot of information you can cross-reference.…
