I like what you have so far except for how the car paint reacts to light. I suggest you look at how a land rover looks under different light conditions, right now it looks cg and made up. The spec is off, it looks too metallic and not matte enough. with the amount of dirt it has it would not look that way. Here is a what I…
This is one of the friendliest forums I've ever been on. A lot of us started off here and have stayed since. I've never been able to register at the other CG forums because they seem too 'fake', too 'steril'. Any bashing that I've seen in the past 8 years has always been because the poster brought it on themselves.…
That was one fucking amazing cinematic! No surprise from the king of CG shorts. This is the first cinematic though that story wise I feel you need to have played the previous WoW expansion and RTS games to really understand an appreciate. All the others, even the one with Arthas were totally stand alone. Still great though…
Models look really sweet. Site is nice and clean and simple. Maybe some wireframes would be of use? Sure, there's plenty of work in normal mapping, but you wont be just handing off the boring low poly model to some lacky! You'll be doing that too, so you'll need to show that skillset If applying for videogame gigs. Your…
Blankslatejoe, I was going to use that quote originally, but I realized I had just done a Jean Pierre Jeunet film in my last one, so I went with Mirror Mask instead. Yeah, I think the movie would have been better if it were done with muppets rather than poor cg. You'd think a movie with the art direction by Dave McKean…
I had the center piece in before I had the idea of putting the tree in. Unfortunately, the tree conceals it entirely. This is literally the best view you can get of it from the floor. Regarding the bark texture, I resorted to throwing a CG texture into crazybump, then taking the heightmap into zbrush so I can bake…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qd276AJg-o Was this posted here? So basically, this is like the next-step from Photogrammetry, it's more like Videogrammetry..We will be able to capture not only real life shapes but motion too! I can see how this can effectively be used in the CG/VFX industry but in thee games…
i would guess that this number includes all sorts of license types other than commercial? probably also all the old customers on traditional subscription for good measure? then throw in any installations that come as part of some bundle and perhaps they get to that number? :) sounds like a huge user base if true,…
sorry yeah Steven. Well, what the likes of Stahlberg and Rene Morel did, was work in the bizz and get a name for themselves, then upped and lived wherever they wanted having built up contacts, a reputation and heck even fame ( within the field of CG ). It's a pretty solid plan. Of course you need to be bloody good too to…
Thank you all. I still need to gets to grips with Z Brush, and hopefully I will find time for more personal projects. I may get rid of the old CG page, the Rhino work is accurate and detailed, but it's untextured and lit using Rhino's standard renderer which was basic. I wouldn't mind texturing a character someday i'm…
