Re: Certain "Homemade" matcaps make ZBrush very unstable and crash often
Follow up to previous post. Many thanks to pxgeek for the suggestions that basically made it possible for me to render my ZBrush sculpts using the matcaps I had created for the job. By removing the alpha that was in the Surface Bump Texture, setting Canvas Bump Scale from 100 to 1 and lowering my bump from 0.6 to 0.02, the… -
Re: Keeping software up to date
if you are freelancing and cant afford 270 a month to cover your basic business costs, that could be a clear indication you are not charging enough. You should be able to cover that with a single days work at most professional rates for mid-senior level work, which is the level at which most successful freelancers I know… -
Re: Need some advice regarding laptops for 3d work
I've seen laptops for ~1200 euros (and that's including 16% VAT) that come with a better CPU, more RAM (compared to the cheaper Sager model), more HD, etc. Only the graphics card isn't top of the line but rather average (X700s and 6600GT/6800s these days, always a generation behind the current stuff) and the screen is… -
Re: Zbrush Scale - Scene setup/Habits/Professionalism
ZBrush tries to make its unit system as mystical and incomprehensible to mere mortals as its inner workings and UI design choices, but with a few tweaks you can understand (at least as well as I currently do, for however much it's worth) how it handles and attempts at near every turn to completely mess up a model's scale.… -
Re: Exporting animation with scale from 3dsmax not working as expected.
Weird. I bet Max is storing the 100% scale first, then transforming to zero, before starting the animation. Exporter on the other hand might he tossing the initial state. So it starts at zero, and tries to scale from zero. Which means zero x 100 = zero! Just a guess though. -
Re: How much would you charge for mentoring?
That's dirt cheap. A typical plumber or electrician is going to charge $100 an hour for their services. When I worked as an electrician the company charged us out at $108.75 per hour. The best painter I've ever met also charged $100 an hour. $450 for six hours is closer to what it should be for a professional. -
Re: Quarantine Final
yea, 100% custom map is very hard to do, if you want to make anything bigger than a room. lol. i know, i was art lead for an unreal makeover mod and we made a small city 100% custom and it took like 6 months and between 30-40 people. -
Re: The Sedentary Life Of A Dev: Staying healthy in the workplace?
^+1 for the 100 pushups plan, I went through it once(didn't get all the way to 100, though it WAS for lack of trying :) ) but it's such a small amount of time required to do it, and you work so many different muscle groups. For someone that despises lifting, this was the easiest route for me to take. -

how to scale a rig?
we've got a custom arm rig consisting of bones and various helpers, and we need to scale it linearly to match real-life size (currently its around 20cm long) does anyone have any idea how we can do that? (all scale values need to be reset to 100 before exporting because the exporter doesnt support != 100 values).
