Dyslexic women are good at art too, obviously, my best friend who is female and dyslexic is an amazing artist. But for some reason studies show that spacial memory works better in dyslexic men. That said, the opposite sex has a better memory, can speak better and spell better than men among many other advantages. I titled…
Hard to tell. I'm using LT largely because its tool set started out as mirroring Maya full as well. Pretending the answer is no (though I have no idea), LT is still closer to anything resembling Maya full. They'd have to implement a LOT of UI revision to make it behave like completely different software. I think they need…
I'm about to start working on an animated short for my last semester in university and I'm somewhat lost on where to start with cel-shading. I'm shooting for a shading style similar to the one seen in Wind Waker but I don't know how to set this up in Maya 2018, or any other version of Maya really. Working with shaders is a…
Hey guys! am working on an assault rifle concept based on the KEL TEC RFB 308 / 7.62 x 54 cal. I have already finished modeling the high- and low poly in Fusion 360 and did some optimization on the low poly in 3ds max. I am still new to this kind of workflow so the triangle count is a bit higher than it should (about 38K).…
Hey guys! So, I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of hours now without any success. I would really appreciate some help. So here is a short rundown: I can export FBX files from the menu, but as soon as I try to do it with MEL-script I get this error message in the FBX log file: [ERROR ] File Input/Output…
This can easily be done with dockControl: http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/Commands/dockControl.html dockControl -area "left" -content transferMapsPanel1 -allowedArea "left" -allowedArea "right"; Now transferMapsPanel1 is the incorrect name, so this is what I did to find it (hopefully you learn something):…
I have to agree with what has been said here so far. Being a tech artist doesn't mean that you have to know how to program, of course (you probably already know this.) However, you will really find use in knowing languages such MEL or Max Script. Above those, I think the most important language a tech artist should know is…

If you like what you see below, feel free to check more at: https://www.artstation.com/bob My last work: Holumann Unit Unit of Norsemen for Mierce Miniatures' Darklands game. It's a unit of 5 men with 5-6 weapon options each. So there is 27 uniqe…
Hello everybody, IEL AB Pioneer chainsaw will be my first realistic hard surface model :) For the time being I will try to make the HP model within zbrush only to practice zbrush HP, after I`m happy with that, I will retopologise for HP subdivion modelling so that I practice high poly subdiv modelling as well. Please feel…
Hello everyone, here is my second Unreal Engine project. I have recreated the Cerebro environment from the X-Men film franchise. The project took a few months to work on, and it taught me a lot about texturing and normal mapping. I did all of the modeling in Maya, textured it in Photoshop, and assembled, lit and rendered…
