Dear Sarah, I want to give you a suggestion which is not related to your art, which will grow and evolve as your career. Just be confident about this. You're on your path, it's happening. You're an artist. It doesn't matter if it's your first step. You have a spark in your work. Follow that. As for the advice, always…
Had to try it :) http://keenleveldesign.com/modelviewer/showmodel.php?id=4cfee03fcf0f6 Very cool but I seem to be having 2 issues. 1-looks like z fighting, yet my model isn't doubled. I did clone/mirror half... But I not only reset Xform (Max8) but also made a cube, edit poly, attached the model to it, deleted cube (the…
Here's the block out so far; 7 pieces. Back face culling is on so you guys can actually see in. When I got the nif files (Skyrim engine's .fbx), I was kinda worried at the 66 obj's which I had to replicate. Turns out it's a lot more simple. You get a few pieces done and then you can use those pieces to cut and paste a lot.…
Although I'm not familiar with how Epic have done it, from my understanding, you can somewhat successfully remove lighting from a texture by doing the following: 1. Photograph your object from many angles. 2. Photograph a chrome ball in place of your object. 3. Process your object, outputting a mesh + texture. 4. Create…
Well you see, that's tough for me. I was able to land a more than decent job right after graduating school at a military contracting company about 3 hours from where I was. Times have been tough, I lost a roommate and had to get a second job to keep my head above water while living on my own. Moving away for this job, I…
Would be good to know what school you're going to in which country and where you're from, to know if what you're learning is sufficient for the job market if your area. Also post your most recent work. While its good to learn to use the programs used for sculpting and pbr, sculpting in particular takes a long time to get…
Here's some thoughts: Things that I liked: Each project has a short objective listed and the time it took to complete it. I thought this was very cool. Your site is also very clean and ez to navigate... Maybe move the project buttons from the bottom to the top? Things that could use some work IMO. Cut that reel in half or…
I've had my Tiger for 7+ years and it feeds my fam of 4 on a regular basis. It has a non stick pot so you have to be careful not to scratch the coating. Use only plastic or wood rice paddles to scoop the cooked rice out. If you don't cook much rice each time, get the smaller pot size. This could be the big reason why you…
if it runs on windows 7, it runs on mac OSX running VMWare - this is why I strongly suggest it for anybody forced to work on a mac for either work reasons or otherwise. You might run into memory issues, at that point you should get some parts and build yourself an extra windows PC to run next to your mac. However in most…
Ahh sorry I misread... The ZBrush title bar shows your currently active/free memory and your scratch disk. When zbrush starts to have problems what do those numbers look like? What else do you run with zbrush? When you look at your total system memory usage in task manager with your model open what does it look like? IF…
