Re: Feedback from those who know about 3D art.
You asked for it. Remember you can also ignore this post. If you did not appreciate the response. Long story short; its very cold & mechanical but i don't see much cuteness & fun factor, (for me). Think a stylized approach to this kind of design would've spoken louder than a startwars rolling bot (one of the many they seem… -
Re: Bethesda decal techniques - The Skyrim case
Here is a bit of an explanation about how you would do the hard blend with the vertex colors. There are other techniques as well, but their one is likely this. I mentioned that "if" thing, that gives you the fully hard alpha, so its actually very simple. This is what your if would do: A= height A B= height B A>B = 0 A>=B =… -
Re: Horse_WIP (Model for Fistful of Frags [HL2 Mod])
CrazyButcher: Thanks, yeah I just did a really simple base mesh because I find it easier and faster to do a bit of sculpting and then retopologize later if necessary (the base mesh that is). The image you posted came in handy though when I did in fact retopologized the base mesh I showed earlier. Tadpole3159, Rens: Yeah,… -
Re: What do colleges teach for CG?
Hey, I teach a Photoshop class for the Game Art and Design program at VanArts. I also graduated from the program 3 years ago. I'll give you the most honest feedback I can (regarding VanArts).

Re: Mel Script: Toggle Camera Based Selection
Here's a hint to make things that toggle into really simple code: toggleCmd -flag (1-`toggleCmd -q -flag`); So in your case: selectPref -useDepth (1-`selectPref -q -useDepth`); To make it callable from the command line, you need to make it a global procedure and load it. Making it a procedure is simple: global proc… -

[WIP] (UE4) The First Temple (trim practice, need critiques)
Since the summer I have been practicing trim texture techniques. I drew from The Ultimate Trim Technique and Polygon Academy's Trim Texture videos. More recently I decided to make a small environment to practice. I created a trim sheet using Max and Zbrush as prescribed in Tim's videos. I generated other maps from… -
Re: [WIP] Titanfall Fanart, MCOR "Maurauder" Pilot Desmond
The waterline? I can't remember the anatomical jargon for it at the moment, but it's the surface you apply eyeliner to: The only notable plane change in the waterline itself would be the one to the eyelids. I faked extra thickness in that overpaint and also suggested a meniscus. The waterline is quite thick, something… -

Re: "Thumbnailing"
I love good thumbnails. I often find that I prefer thumbnails and silhouettes more than the final pieces. I figure the reason for this is because thumbnails allow the viewer to fill in the shapes in their own imagination. Some questions I have: 1. How much time do you put into thumbnails and do you use any photo source…
