Re: Animating rope
Simulate cloth on a simplified single sided strip of polys, skinwrap your rope to it. If you're exporting to a game engine you want to attachment constrain a few dummy points to the surface of the cloth sim, skin your rope to some free floating bones and use Jim Jaggers animate align script to get the bones to follow the… -
Re: Online Applications & Connections
If it encourages you, I've gotten all of my jobs from cold calling, not a single one by referral. You just gotta keep pushing! One question though - Do you follow up on those applications or just send them and forget? If you send a follow up a week or so later, politely asking if they had the chance to evaluate your… -
Re: Tropes in Videogames
Yeah I got to agree that he's not always been very refined - as a matter of fact when he moved over to the Escapist I was a bit "meh" to say the least !

Re: Mini Environment - Tropical Island
I'm using two normal maps with paners on them and them adding them together to get the normal and the distort information. Unfortunately they don't seem to be doing much.

Re: Photoshop tips
I discovered nearly all of these by pure accidental clicking dragging and hitting keys on the keyboard.. lol, I should take it a bit easy. As for the alt click and clipping mask though, that's rather the layer only affecting the underlying one, no? Which at that can be done in succession. Say you have a hue modifier and… -

Re: Where to start in Zbrush (Max user)
Once you start to get your head around the basic introduction it's more about knowing what's possible. Best thing I ever did was to join pinterest and follow boards for zbrush techniques, collecting single images that explain 1 technique as well as videos. Even if you don't really study them they stay in your folder (and… -
Re: Question to experienced Environment Artists: What should I learn?
Since I'm a student I would probably do all of the steps myself when it comes to the environment creation. The things I have gather so far is that I would start with Preproduction following the guide from the book Preproduction blueprint: How to Plan Your Game Environments and Level Designs Tutorial that is available at… -
Re: Marchwarden's Portfolio Work Thread
Hey guys it's been a while. Here is a quick scene I did for school: And here is what I started working on last week: I'm doing a Darksiders homage over the break, I'll see where it takes me. I'm following the concepts Jonathon Kirtz has over at cghub. I really like the style and the sculpting workflow, so it's been fun to…
