Blizz Handpainted CV [UE4]

Afklamer

Hey everyone.

I'm prepping currently my CV and well one place I'm gonna apply to is the WOW team. 
Still tinkering around with everything, struggling internally if I should bump up the Polycount on some of the stuff but I don't want to get to far off from the current wow style. Nevertheless I sneaked in a couple of bevels =D

Feedback & thoughts are very welcome

very cool style! nice work keeping it true to wow but still using nice lighting and shadows

Carabiner

This is an amazing idea! I love the lighting.

Deathstick

haha awesome idea and looks really good, reminds me of a lifebuoy that said thanks for the interview that I made after I applied for my current job.

I'm sure people will like it! Unless the hiring department plays as the alliance, then you're screwed!

I would suggest to take a look at the current (WoD/Legion) stuff. The polycount increased drastically with the last WoW Addons (compared to Classic/BC/WotLK).
So I think some bevels are fine.

For the piece itself: Nice idea and good model.
I would push the textures a little more. Some "trick" someone told me here at the forum ist to copy the whole diffuse layer, set it to Overlay and set the opacity to ~15% (and maybe sharpen it a little bit). I think it's called "bearclaw" if I remember correct (hell to long no handpainted stuff done^^).
With this the colors pop out more and get a little more intense (like in WoW).
You should also work on the base of the model, this is very simple, compared to the rest.

As one of said "whipped peons", these are my thoughts:

• Something about the render looks too sharp. I'd try rendering it in Toolbag instead of UE4 and not using image-based lighting.
• I'm not sure if "fluent in several weapon types" is a reference to software, languages, or if you have a collection of nunchucks at home.
• I approve of the butterflies. Texture them!
• I am legit not sure whether WoW artists would model the twists on the rope. Definitely not when I was there.

  Nice work! 

Bedrock

It's great! About as great as it is too daaaaaaaaaaaark

Will_M

I was wondering, how do you go about handpainting textures?

Afklamer

hey, so I added all the stuff I managed. stupid sinus infection slowes me down
Anyways since I have to send the application in tomorrow I am wrapping up. 
Do you guys think it looks finished enough ? 
I would love to make a blend texture for the ground but  thats another day of work X_x





thanks GED

Carabiner,   =D

Deathstick, haha, since I've some alliance stuff in my portfolio I hope that I'll be fine

Dethling, I agree that they upped their polycount but i havent seen exsessive beveling yet ^^
               Also tried the thexture thingy helped a little. I tend to overdetail so im super caustious on these things


Pixelb, - Had a sharpen thing going in the post volume. turned it off... better ?  I likes my unreal engine =D
             - Obviously I'm talking about my heavily weponized  frige, that breakes several of the Geneva Conventions
             - Uhm, well  they arenot really butterflies D=. Still approved ?  
             - I checked the game, it's tubes but I like it this way more and last time they diddn't complain when I added geo to the  building edges. 

• PANTALONES !  =D 

Freneticponies  yay ! 

Bedrock, thanks! I tried to lighten things up I didn't want the contrast too go to off though. I know those guys are super picky about that.
 
Will_M, hum that a rather broad question. Can you specify a little ? 

pixelb

 - Had a sharpen thing going in the post volume. turned it off... better ? 

Much. Bedrock's lighting enhancement looks good, too.

    - I checked the game, it's tubes but I like it this way more and last time they diddn't complain when I added geo to the  building edges. 

Yeah, probably safe to err on the side of making it look good.

 - Uhm, well  they arenot really butterflies D=. Still approved ?  

   aw, and I got so excited, too.
