Figured I'd start a thread to see what people do while getting work done. Personally I have my hookah lit up next to me smoking that or have a beer to chill out, while a movie or some music is playing on my 2nd screen. I find the buzz from hookah/alcohol helps me focus a bit, and the movie or music ...

I'm gonna sound kind of harsh here, but don't take it personally. I've always found if you don't get harsh feedback, you don't grow as an artist.. These need a lot of work. The text doesn't blend in at all (color wise or font wise), the backgrounds are seemingly random, and all of the renders used a...

A headless cartoon-y character. Head is gonna be modeled tomorrow, so I'll update that then. Here's the progress on the body, though. This is the first character I've ever done, so be nice.

Full body and facial rig is goign in thursday.

Gonna be posting a lot of small models, some I've been working on and some will come later, so I figured I'd just make a universal thread for them. These models are extremely simplistic, as they are supposed to be very low poly. They're for the game I'm working on. The camera is going to be far enou...

3DS Max, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, ZBrush, Modo.

I really want to get this, but if I'm going to get it I'd go all out and get the multi-core 64-bit version..but I can't justify spending $40 on a piece of software I havn't seen in action yet, especially when moneys tight after dropping so much for my trip to cali...

Hmmmmm.

Honestly, if you're just looking at modeling as a hobby, just use blender. It's a fine software and can do everything you'll need, and it's free.

I've used Points2shop before (which is similar to prizerebel). You got "points" for answering surveys, and could use the points on amazon. 100 points = $1 amazon credit. Got over $100 in amazon credit in a few weeks, and received everything I ordered (I think I got a controller, a mic, a f...
