Is it bad that whenever i look at a prawn, I want lobster?

@pecollinni why?

Sorry for the delay in responding. That's a pretty big question that is difficult to answer in this this space. The reason it's difficult to find good tutorials online is because this is an in-depth topic that requires proper instruction. The best advice we could offer is learn how to paint and draw, learn how to look at things, and learn how to use the tools in the software. You can also send us a private message and we can provide you with more details. I hope that helps.

@VancouverFilmSchool What is the best way to texture? It seems to me like there are no good texturing tutorials out there...

I heard about a program called Mari, do any major films use that? I thought District 9 used it but I guess not

I have been following this lady's works and she's amazing

@djstyfler4u A lot of it comes down to preference, but our students will typically use Maya or ZBrush for their projects .

I find the excellent matchmoving job in this movie most impressive. Camera trackers have traveled a long way since ICARUS. Congratulations to this work.

@108Dax: A mannerism I know from countless American movies. As if many women concatenate all their sentences with commas, never arriving at a full stop. ;)
