Re: Maya Hotkeys For Faster Workflow
Fun post @slipsius will have to give that a look. You and I have similar hotkey layouts. ` = TimeDraggerToolActivate (from Tools section), allows you to scrub the timeline without putting your mouse in the timeline. Handy when editing in the the GE 1 = First frame in the range slider, custom hot key script 2 = Previous… -
Re: [Portfolio] Eric Topf, Environment/Prop Artist
You're comments are a bit vague. You say lighting is terrible, but you don't say why that is. The Unreal objects are being lit using Unreal lights, I don't see what more there is to do with them. You say my texture/UV skills are low, but don't give any examples once again. Also, you wish for me to re UV those Unreal… -
Re: To Cage, or not to Cage
One very important distinction in max is that, when using cage(as apposed to the offset tick) the cage normals are averaged, even if you have hard edges. This is a pretty wonderful thing, because it means you can render seamless results even with plenty of hard edges(smoothing groups) on your lowpoly. It also means that… -
Re: Education (university and work experience)
Take as many drawing and painting courses as you can. Take some CGSociety courses for what you are interested in, anything is better the University if you aren't concerned with the experience or the all around education. I just graduated from a highly regarded art school and the best course I took was a foundation Drawing… -

Re: Heading back to Phoenix, AZ
Vig: yeah I'm looking into getting more bandwidth, I have 400 gb a month for mr-chompers.com which serves up the videos. Poopinmymouth.com just serves the jpegs and html and still goes through about 100 gb. I'm thinking of changing chompers to dreamhost. I think I'd realistically need about 800-1,000 gb a month transfer to… -
Re: Feedback need..also got some stupid questions
You have a nice start on the female model. If you are shooting for the Burton style, as you said, I would suggest exaggerating her features even more. Right now she looks like a doll of a young teenager. Longer neck legs and arms for sure. With that, you could also bring in the waist, while excentuating the bust and butt… -
Re: Own Design vs Concept Art
If you're just starting out, I'd say 100% go off someone else's design. If you're still learning how to make 3D, also creating your own design is just going to slow you down. Also, you will learn a lot from making other people's designs 3D. I've had hiring personnel tell me it was a good thing I was transferring other… -
Re: IS-7 tank. I need an assessment!)
I'm not familiar with the actual tank so i wont go into acurracy. But, there are large pieces of your model that could not have been manufactured in one continuous piece, such as the hull or the turret "casing" or whatever its called. The reason why i bring this up is that your material is pretty uniform. Normally you… -
Re: I need some advice / portfolio review
Hey, thank you for great feedback and your time. I will definetly work on improving anatomy and start learning Marvelous Designer. Actually I use 3d Max for modelling, it was software that I used to start with 3D but in last period I'm trying to avoid using him and trying to do as much as I can in Zbrush. That is pic of…
