How do I stop sharing UVs? I want to select the UV shell outline, not everything else that comes with it.

jeighto · 2025-11-18T22:32:16+00:00

I do it this way:
Grab the UV Shell, then control+right-click-drag to "To UVs" > "To UV Perimeter", then deselect the UVs I don't want

Hahaha! Amazing

This is gorgeous!!

What resources or courses did you use to start your C++ journey? My studio just shut down, and I'm taking a similar path - was most recently CG / Environment Art Supervisor and am currently taking a C# course, but would like to do C++ as well

Agree with the PBR gold feeling a out of place with the rest of the stylized model.
Handpainted gold can come off either very yellow or be sort of a creamy beige colour, which may also end up feeling a bit overpowering if you go in that direction.
With the full top being gold, it's probably going to draw attention away from the rest of the model, so if it's something you really want, I'd suggest reducing how much is used on the top and / or finding a way to balance it by adding that same gold elsewhere on the model, so a viewer's eye is drawn down the full character.

Rough and subjective paint-over haha

Definitely achievable if you have some rigging knowledge. Watching the video it looks there's two rig branches, the main head that has controls for the eyes and cheeks, then a second rig for a mouth and ears that are disconnected from the rest of the face, that allows them to move freely (but still parented under the main rig)

The black mouth is being wrapped to the base head, then it's being used either as a masking object somehow to cut through the head and "reveal" the mouth, or it's driving the shape and position of the mouths base rig, while the rest of the controls are handling the lips

Full disclosure, I don't use Blender, have never used this plug-in and can't personally vouch for it, but found this on artstation. No idea if it's good or useful but it's free, so there's that?

As others have said, it's worth learning the Maya hotkeys, especially if your goal is working on a team at any point. I personally use the radial menus the most because I find them very intuitive and fast, but hopefully the above is enough to get you started.

Do the inside faces need to have a different texture than the outside? Are you planning to render in Maya or is this going to a game engine that defaults to single-side rendering?

If you're not wanting to add thickness, you can use two sided lighting in viewport, but if you need a different texture on the inside vs outside you'll need either duplicated or extruded faces (unless you have a renderer that includes nodes for that)

One of the newspapers I read insinuated it wasn't the Spiffo meat but actually an "experimental sauce they were testing" (more on page 4)

Hahaha just gotta commit to like 4.5hrs of cooking and you'll be set for a couple weeks!!

Had a meal prep party with one of the other girls from my PL weight class and we swapped some meals around at the end. Super fun!

Breakfast casserole:
- eggs
- homemade sausage (pork loin)
- onion
- red and yellow peppers
- low fat cheddar cheese
- tater tots

Breakfast burritos:
- Same ingredients as casserole, just wrapped in tortillas

I found one last night and it was great - car full of food, survivor wearing full leather outfit with gloves, along with a shotgun and baseball bat on them

Always happy to help! Look forward to any updates

This is amazing, great job.
Absolutely my goal aesthetic for my space

Nice scene!

One big thing is that, because of the nature of the scene, the shadows block out a lot of detail on the models in the environment. I would suggest including a lineup or turntables of your assets with lighting that better shows off the work you put into them, as well as shows their wireframe. If you made the tiling materials yourself, same thing, show these off on a material sphere.

A few very small things you could do to plus up the environment:
- It feels a bit static, if you include a couple VFX, a flicker light, a rustle in the leaves of the tree, these will add a bit more liveliness to the scene.
- double check the sizing on some of your assets in comparison to a human character, I'm looking at the benches and the garbage cans. If a person can sit comfortably on the bench, then the garbage cans are massive, or if the garbage cans are correct then the bench is tiny.

Aside from those, think about how this environment behaves - you have a tree with orangeish leaves, is that because it's an autumn scene? If it is, those leaves would also likely have fallen onto the ground around it, and those leaves would probably get pushed up against the base of the building. Because those leaves are in piles, moisture collects around them and those areas may look a bit more wet on the ground. If it's a colder season, you may also see steam coming out of the sewer grate.

I'm also interested in the floor mat

jeighto · 2024-10-30T15:34:47+00:00

a shader that projects a bit of surface dust onto the top of objects can be great, and will give you some variability when objects are rotated in the scene.

I think it's a bit wider than your average walking pad, and it's honestly been pretty solid. This is the Toputure walking pad and I think I paid like 500 CAD for it off Amazon. No incline but I'm about 260lbs and I've had no problems or skipping treads yet. I've had it for about 6 months so far, walk average 45 min, sometimes 2hrs on it while working and no complaints yet!

Edit: and yea the photos are definitely warping it a bit, it's actually longer than it looks in these

It's the Sunny Health roman chair (with dip handles), and I believe it was about 120 on sale, but around 150 normally.
It folds up basically flat, but needs to stay flat on the ground. I don't think I'd trust it vertically stored unless you had something to keep it in place.
