Latest update: Hey guys! My project is going to be a Qilin skin for Aurelion Sol. He's me favorite champion design so I've always wanted to do something with him. Qilin is a mythological chimera creature from East Asia. I was originally thinking about a Chinese dragon design but I've never personally liked how they looked…
Thanks Muzz, I found a piece of concept art that looked fun and I just wanted to recreate it as faithfully as I could. It ended up being something that was AI generated and had a bunch of problems that I had to solve but i'm happy w/ the end result overall.
It's because the original poster was asking about what subjects to study in college. It's true that a degree doesn't really matter in games. The guy with the better demo is going to get the job, whether he has a degree or not. However, academic CS instruction can be very helpful. Not required, but helpful. Your earlier…
Tutorials/courses are good for picking up techniques. I think it is good to try to do a lot of them and see similar things done from multiple different people. I think getting models from games and reverse engineering them is good to help keep you from focusing efforts in the wrong places. That can be important too.…
The problem with this topic (which comes up often !) is that it is almost always worded very broadly, which in turn leads to oversimplification and people's advice being misinterpreted. I don't blame you for asking though, as it is quite a complex subject ! Direwolf put it very nicely. Form solving is one task ; topology…
in the past ive used morphs a lot for this sort of thing - crowds, character creators etc. where it gets hard is if you're trying to represent real people at a high level of fidelity we used wrap4d for several hundred scanned heads on a recent project which basically solved that problem - zwrap does basically the same…
Working together with the art leads, designers, and animators, the Senior Character Artist is responsible for creating visually stunning 3d characters and interactive gameplay models that both closely capture the "look" and artistic style of the concept art, as well as efficiently satisfy all technical engine and animation…
I'm using a student version of 3DS Max 2011 and there's a licensing problem. I was planning on doing some high poly modeling during break today (I'm using 3ds max on a laptop). So I click the icon and it says 3DS Max 2011 is initializing. After a few seconds my computer's battery decides to die on me. So I plug in the…
So...I already explained it on the forums, but it wasn't the first time I asked that and nobody answered it, so here's the post: "I'm facing that classic bug that apparently no one has solved to this day. Leaves are completely unlit when a spotlight is near to them (I tested with other light types and this only happens…
