That's a terrible mistake by many antivirus software. It seems that verve was once reported to contain viruses. Since then the program and the site is sometimes blocked for no reason. In fact me and a big bunch of people are using this program and the website without any issue since years. These wrong messages are blocking…
Part of the issue with newcomers making topology for characters is that you always try to make the topology fit the shape of you model. Instead, remember that you model can take on very many shapes, lifting either leg or bending at the waist will change the shape of your model dramatically. Your topology should reflect…
Hey Polycount! We've had a few more software integrations in the last few months so wanted to share. (3DPrinterOS, Strata, Quirky, Blender Cycles support...catch up on the blog) Most excitingly, you can now publish your 3D-Coat PBR projects to Sketchfab with one click Their latest version contains a Sketchfab exporter that…
SO i have added a bunch of stills to the internship page to hopefully make everything a bit easier to take your time and look at. Also, some banner which link to the games which contain the assets. @Loki, you are right in the fact that the portfolio would be stronger with amazing AAA pieces to put on there. the problem is…
Site also didn't load for me in IE9 even clicked the compatibility mode thing and didn't work either. For me the left menu is a bit large for my tastes, but my biggest problem is how you have the thumbnails in each of your sections setup. The thumbnails are narrow and don't really give an impression of what I will see when…
Thats actually really cool. Thanks for the info. The quality of the courses generally seem to be the highest out there, CGSWorkshops seems decent but Gnomon are perhaps at another level. However their structure makes it somewhat confusing, there are multiple courses that cover say texturing without any real insight on what…
I baked the normal map from the high poly mesh at the beginning (first bake you see in the video) and then baked all the other maps but the video shows only the first part of the car, the FBX contained 2 separate parts (the main body and the accessories) and I also had the 2 corresponding separate high poly meshes. So…
Just awesome....this made my day and the rest of my weekend.... WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD??!! Also, to people asking about how they choose winners, its looks like its not based on likes or anything, here's the rules: Sponsor shall choose the winners from all entrants who have submitted an eligible entry prior to the Deadline.…
I've decided to remove the trailing part of the bandanna so that it's all contained and wrapped around his neck. It's much easier for animation this way (after having issues with Max's cloth). I think it looks kind of cool as well? Texture is WIP. Hair I have also been having issues with. The mental ray hair that I've used…
I just got the dvd and finished seeing all the tutorials. Overall pretty nice indeed. If you have never used procedurals in Max it would help you get up to speed and not get discouraged with using them. Fat the pace wasn't too fast and they were easy to understand and listen to. All the tutorials are self contained so when…
