Re: An honest question as a new person
Maya has a free student version, and an LT version with less features but should be enough to start and is significantly cheaper than full pro. You can keep an eye out for Steam sales for Substance Painter/3D coat.I prefer 3D coat to SP for stylized stuff. The lighting is flatter and the interface is simpler. It also gives… -
Re: Portfolio critique
Thank you! I really dislike the dropship too. The design feels particularly uninspired to me. It's stubby and lacks organic shapes. I have so few things though and I don't know if I'm better off with it or without it on there. I want to do environment art, but it just takes so long to do an entire scene. I was thinking of… -
Re: Silly Question to Old School 3d Guys
I play old games all the time. For some reason I just need to replay them. Just last night I was trying to get Magic Carpet to run without crashing (using Dosbox) it still looks great imo. Can't find a fix though :( Just finished playing through Legacy of Kain: Blood omen and Soulreaver 1+2 on PSX. Also, just bought the… -

Re: 90 days to model and rig a character...is this standard?
Thanks for the replies. I'm not terribly good at rigging and the anticipation of rigging and trying to make sure I've done everything I could topology wise to make it straight forward I think causes me to spend much more time than I should. Being I am working alone on this stuff, all of these time intensive practices of… -
Re: Dumbledore's Pensieve
Merry Christmas, all! I've come bearing gifts of an extremely belated update. At its current stage I have created a base/floor for the pensieve (which maybe needs big time tweaking so I'll post pictures on that shortly). I've retopped and UV'd the pensieve. Elder Wand and mirrors yet to come. I've quickly rendered the… -
Re: Rock Models with Medusa Pro
Volcanic Rock Pack 1 Released We've released our first template pack for Medusa Pro, Volcanic Rock Pack 1, adding five new rock types including materials and new shapes. Volcanic Rock Pack features lavas (cooled lavas...the resulting rocks rather than the runny hot stuff). These models are ideal for volcanic islands,… -
Re: The state of the games industry
[ QUOTE ] By the look of things commercial games are becoming nothing more than tools for modders. [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure it's the other way round actually. It's harder to mod a lot of games these days. Bundling editors with games (mainly PC games) is becoming fairly standard for a lot these days, but that doesn't mean… -
Re: Making games is murder these days
right, no reward, and no consquences. so how does that influence gameplay? What if there was a real consequence? Let's say you were playing through a system like Steam. Once you kill so many innocent people, you are then banned from playing the game. Or for GTA, run over so many innocent people, and you are prevented from… -
Re: Modeler's block...
To keep myself busy putting out work and improving my skills I teamed up with my friend who loves writing stories. He wrote a story for us with all of these characters. Now we're taking the characters and creating concept art for them, and then models. The benefit of using a story as the basis for your art is that it makes…
