Hello all! I am a 3D artist with over 4 years of experience in the industry and with the unreal engine. I specialize in character/creature modeling and texturing with a realistic style. I have no problem doing other graphical styles along with any technical budgets. I'm good with material and shader creation in the unreal…
I have a few questions for game modeling processes that I just never could clarify, partially because I've heard different things for each question from different tutorials. 1) I've heard from different people and different tutorials that when modeling for games you put your low poly mesh on the outside, conferencing the…
I like the start, here are some of my thoughts. I think the buildings can use some character. Like in 3D everything is straight, I miss a bit the time, damage and character of the buildings. Link A broke back in the roof or a hanging gutter. Maybe some difference in the sizes or a slight offset in the bricks, wooden gate…
I agree with the previous comment, and with the general sentiment that sculpting will look slightly better but texturing will be slightly more efficient / faster. (In general - of course there are exceptions). I just wanted to add that re-usability is a big consideration. Example......If you're making a unique character,…
Thanks guys!! Matroskin: I knew your little avatar image looked famliar. Used to see you on CGTalk every now and then...anyways.. The UVs are set up so each piece has its own UV space, so there won't be tiled textures. I am using 1 2048x2048 for the building, which also includes a few variant pieces. Will most likely use a…
How many hours contact time do you have each week - also how much homework are you allowed to dole out? I'd say from the start, work with props - a kettle or something. Get them to learn basic edge flow, unwrapping and materials (metal, plastic, etc0. Then something more complex - a speaker with a poly mesh mesh. Easy to…
Well when 150 people or whatever show up in my phone contacts, many of them old highschool friends or people like Adam Bromell, who I do not actually want to call on my phone.... Yeah its annoying. A little more on the HTC aria: Overall, this is a wonderful compact little computer. I don't even consider this a phone, its a…
In the long run, you really have a lot of options as far as grip training, yoga, etc. and I suggest looking into these outside activities to keep your wrists healthy in the future. For your goals, you need something quick and fast you can do at your desk. Start with wrist stretches. Check out the last images in the…
If you're interested in the algorithms themselves then download meshlab and play with it - last time I checked it had a number of them. You've basically got two approaches at present. Decimation and voxelisation Both systems are pretty dumb - they're not interpreting the shape of the mesh in any meaningful way beyond…
Since you're not posting commentary and only want people to crit the art, I assume that's a proper update, ie you've completed step 2 of your image? in which case ... You're doing basic block colour in Photoshop but still manage to have zero quality of line. At the stage you're at and with the tools you're using , this is…
