Made my first rig for the guy, it has a good naming convention and soon I'll be weight painting him. I've been giving this process more thought Make a new character that will be intended for the game. Practice rigging on him (just to get it down) and then once I start animation I wont be wasting time on a mesh that I wont…
Wow everything in the theme looks awesome so far, i really like the blue lights and floor contrasted with the orange glowing lights on the wall. As far as critique I would say that the red decals (74 and elevator,stairs,exit) are too bright and look like they slightly hover over the wall. try adding the slightest grunge or…
Another thought... "Blame video games"... if it's kids, they're not supposed to be playing violent games to begin with. If it's adults (who commit the crime), there's something else wrong with them to begin with if a game can incite them to violence. "Blame guns"... in both kids and adults, if they're not taught to respect…
The only active part I take in balancing is just to make sure I do the 40 hours a week at work and only do extra if it's absolutely critical. Otherwise, I find that I spend my time constructively without thinking about it. As slipsius said, if you want to do something, you make time for it. If I have a project, I will…
I agree. I've been trying to figure out what I could turn this into, but I'm not the best at coming up with ideas. I did some more reference searching today for new ideas. I don't have much of an update, but I'd like to get some feed back on these options 1) Abandoned quarantine checkpoint/station/etc. I'm not sure how…

This controller lets you walk in whatever direction you want, while your head…

Thanks you for tips, in particular that silhuette thing is something I will keep in mind. I'm modelling this as highpoly model and going to bake textures from it, and probably over paint them afterwards if needed. I extrude lot of details out, sometimes create new mesh items. This is first models where I don't care over…
Sorry, yes everything is very factually correct and well written (and should be pinned imo)! It's a great document to explain to people having trouble with their normal bakes. Basically down to, yes if you have time to do hard edges baking and setup, go for it! not all models require this though, and sometimes its…
"When Maya starts lagging or tools/manipulators start acting strange, the best place to start troubleshooting is to reset the preferences to default - this will clear out any corrupted elements that are causing hangups in Maya itself." From :…
