Yea, the one near me (located in a medium sized game city) seems to have some good 3d professors (from what I've heard, I don't actually go there). I've also met two of them at a monthly local meetup in my area. Both seem to have good connections within the industry (although one is more indie focused) and are always…
@Daedalus51 Thanks for the input! I managed to figure it out by one, inverting my normals like everyone said, and two, adjusting my AO for in between the tiles. I think I got it good for now and I'll tweak it later when I'm fine tuning the scene. @shadownami92 I'm using a single tileable wood texture for the floor and…
Ok, got the environment assets dialed in to a level so that, for lower quality settings, we won't have to use billboards so aggressively. I also changed the looks a bit. I think autumn will be a nice fit with our theme. Both pleasing to the eye but also a foggy, damp, and somewhat gloomy connotation. Just going to do two…
I hate to be an echo, but I agree with everyone else. The first two are good. Be careful of the feet movement when pushing the box. The foot plants and lifts can be refined further. Some of the movement seems linear when the right foot is in the air as well. You could also add some movement into the hands, as they are…
Hi Braxer, Been following this piece for a bit. I like the overall scene and know you want to move away from it soon. Here are two tweaks that may benefit the piece and not be too much work. I've quickly blocked in an object in the right foreground. The intention is to bring the eye back to the left of the image towards…
I will try to help some. 1-Not sure what you meant by this...You mean having snapping functionality on while the Edge Extend tool is active? 2-"P" for create polygon. In 901, you can go use Fill Quads too. The Bridge tool also fills gaps very well, as long as you make your selection in a way that Modo can interpolate the…
Give it more life! These exercises don't restrict you and they shouldn't. I gave my students the same few exercises and they just listen but never explore except one or two. People want to see more then the exercise :) Yes you have a nice start, but it's very vanilla and standard. Break that, give that ball character. Most…
i wish there was a pc demo. i watched somebody play it on the ps3. it seemed fun to drive around. thats what ive always liked about the BF series. the vehicles. the thing that was a major turnoff to me was this: dude gets into a tank, drives around, sees enemy soldier running on foot. shoots the ground 3 feet next to the…
The tutorials that come with max (as cheesy as they are) can't be beat for learning the software itself. Youtube is a great resource too. Once you get past the program basics I suggest you check out the wiki here on polycount and if you want to fork out some cash, 3dmotive and eat3d have some really nice products. WARNING:…
Hi everybody! Sorry for taking so long to post again but I’ve had a lot of work with this stuff. First I tried other two options for the last concept but I wasn't glad about them. The gladiator style looked too similar to his normal skin and then I decided to change the whole first idea. I started the new idea with some…
