Re: What is the most important skills for a character modeling?
Oh come on surely you can take a little joke. First of all you should learn 3dsmax, maya or modo before rushing into Zbrush. You should start small don't go full realistic character if you're not secure about your anatomy and forms. Find a small simple concept and try to create a production ready character (it's important… -
Re: Brigador
Just Google their names. They have blogs and regularly give talks. Sorry, but yes, Brigador has terrible art. For example: The lighting is bizarre. The palette is really non-existant, random colours everywhere. No shape grammar for architecture, totally random. Texture scales are wrong. Detail levels inconsistent. The… -
Re: Critiques for the aspiring game artist
I reply the most to threads where there's more to critique, but there has to be something positive to say as well, or your critique would basically amount to 'not good, learn to draw/model'. There really is a stage in which you can't give any other advice than that, because there's really no redeeming value to any of it,… -
Re: AUTOCAD freelancing???
Hi! Based on your posts until now, I get the impression you want to run before you can walk. I would repeat what was suggested to you in another thread: Create a car model start to finish. Probably a step before that is to decide weather you target pre-rendered or real-time (not a vehicle artist, but by looking at recent… -
The dreaded 'lockInfluenceWeights'
If you've rigged something from the Dota2 files, you've undoubtedly come across this spawn of Satan. If you don't know what I mean, here's the skinny (from here): From my experience most of the meshes in the Maya files that we get from Valve have this. Some people suggest updating your .fbx plugin to stop this behavior but… -
[Portfolio] Kris Fancsali, Character Artist
Hello everyone, I am 21 and graduated with a degree in computer animation from Full Sail back in 2009. My portfolio was honestly not as robust as I would have wished it were after graduation or as focused on games. My demo was geared towards film more then anything else so I have been planning and working on my gallery to… -
Re: Tutorial - Gradient Mapping & UDK
You would just question me on just enough to get me to write it wouldn't you? :P Thanks for the push. It took far longer than I'd thought all because it took me a while to remember/figure out the general form for making these sub gradations, but the mental math felt good. I finally had to break out the paper and work out… -

Re: LOW-POLY ART
@Neox Hell yeah ! These costumes struck me as something straight out of a N64 Zelda spinoff. If you haven't already I'd suggest playing with per-face micro-atlas texturing on these (if you plan to have them be unlit, that is - although it can work along subtle realtime shading too). It's a bit counter-intuitive and… -
Re: Likeness Character
Hey, cool to see you sticking with this. I think you need to step back though and rework this a bit more. Your subdivisions/poly density is too high and I can see you've added details, like the eyebrows, before having solid primary forms in place. Drop the subdivisions waaaay down and try making big edits like getting the…
