Re: Learning to do anything as a hobbyist.
You learn by doing, not by watching youtube videos. That's entertainment. Your brain is more powerful than all the world's super-computers combined. It is an extremely advanced learning machine. It's your psychology which struggles to learn. In your head you make many nonsense problems which disrupt the learning process.… -
Re: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Art Dump
Hey everyone, thanks for the kind words! All of these props are final in-game meshes rendered in Marmo 2. Depending on the prominence of the prop, I was allowed 1024 or 2048 textures. Tri counts vary, but obviously had to meet budget limitations for the Xbox One. Multiple Lods were created for each prop, and quality was… -
Re: beating the summer heat (warning: there's balls in here)
I couldn't agree more. I spent a few summers in AZ with my grandparents. I'll take 112 in the shade as long as its dry. Work is all AC all the time. Sometimes I have to wear a sweatshirt... so its a little too much at times. My place gets very little direct sunlight and stays pretty cool. Last night was the first night I… -
Re: Wall Panel Help
Well if you want your wall to be smooth and reflective- like passerby said- that normal is too noisy. The Idea with the concept of "shiny" is that shine, is a reflection of the all light around your subject. But I`m not completely convinced that's your biggest problem. First and foremost, it looks as if the only specular… -
Hit a brick wall | MD Cloth simulation workflow for animation
To keep it short, I've hit a brick wall when it comes to the pipeline for cloth simulation for animation. There are plenty of tutorials and blogs talking about how to create, retopo and sculpt on clothes but nothing the covers the final simulation of it. I have a fully retopologized clothing model with but I know of no way… -
Throne Room - Hall of Ascension - AdamOstridge
I'll be throwing my hat into the ring for this one; I'm not an environment artist by trade (FX artist) so I'll be tailoring this more towards the lighting and FX side of things. I'm doing this more to sharpen up my environment skills than to compete but on with the arty things! Seeing as most people seem to be posting up… -
Re: What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
It is more worthwhile to invest the time into yourself than into LLM. LLM is a service currently being offered to you for free. Let's investigate this. Currently AI data centres consume ~2% of all the power on earth. Trillions of dollars are being spent giving you a service which is 100% free. You are giving it your time… -
How do u paint your faces? (calling anyone)
Hi folks Having just spent 6 hours or so painting a fairly basic face for one of the Polycount SDK's, I realised I need to spend a bit of effort in getting things looking a tad better. I admit im no artist, but with a bit of practice I probably won't be too bad. So, I was wondering how you all paint your faces. I mean do… -

Re: Inconsistent FOV (perspective) between ZBrush and Maya
This is an issue as old as time (or rather, as old as Zbrush) and AFAIK there is no fix for it, as the Zbrush FOV values do not really represent anything and you won't be able to get a real analog to a 3d viewport since their projection/rendering isn't really 3D. I've seen it negatively affect the work of extremely skilled…
