@PolyHertz: Thanks man :) regarding the sculpting, I'd used MB1 for his body as I dont like how 2009 screws the flatshaded views [especially at lower divisions]. But I used 2009 for adding the wrinkles [the Steady Stroke option is great,kinda like Lazy Mouse from zb,enabling it should give you a blob-free stroke]. In…
Hello polycounters. I posted this tread Portfolio Feedback 2 years ago, in Nov 2016. Right after that I found my first gamedev job in this company: Eagle Dynamics. They make hardcore flying simulator "DCS". This is how latest jet model looks like: DCS: F-14 . As you can see this jet model looks really really good. But it…
well before I got your PM I already read this thread and r_feltch_r's comment ;) copypastepixel wrote a initial great script to export a OBJ file with some default modifications using binary hacks http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71230 I used parts of his technique in TexTools for the…

I have to reply to this thread.

And yes these are prob your more senior members of society. And everyone always says swine flu…
...I think. I've been following Andrei Ichim's normal mapping tutorial over at Game Artist, and While I think I understand the process, I'm not getting the right results. My normal map looks fine, but its not rendering right or showing up in the veiwport. Im fairly sure its a problem whith my Direct X plugin, but I have no…
Another little note about the "saturation confusion". On the animation below, A and C do feel like very close colors ; however, since C is already at full saturation, cranking up the saturation slider would not make it turn into "flaming red", whereas it does so on A. Of course this all makes sense once one understands the…
Well if I go all the way back to my school days until now I'd have to say I've done all of those. Once I began freelancing it was quite a challenge to stay 100% legit. I just bought Modo so hopefully I can stay away from giving any more of my $ to Autodesk for a while. Luckily I got a copy of Photoshop CS2 and Maya from a…
