What an awesome tool. Programmers truly are a magical gift from the land of fairies. :) So I'm using Bal's (or Bal's brother's) Lazymouse; is there supposed to be any kind of visual cue as to where the point is being referenced? For example in ZBrush you've got the circles and the line that Lazybrush will attempt to…
Bloing! Thank you once again for your feedback. I enjoy, if people like my images, however, I like to greedily devour critique even more. The triangle is some kind of item that is supposed to be a technomagical damage booster. I suggested the name "Strange Quark" and wanted to bend the dimensions of magic and technology…
you can do it in crazy bump, i go over it a bit here look at the bottomish pics the one at the top is old way, just more steps and it involves photoshop more. http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=275885&an=0&page=0#Post275885 the example i give dosent really show off how useful it is for mechanical stuff,…
I made a quick example to show you what I meant by that up vector trick :) It would place your snow to only the top of your objects, no matter how they are placed/oriented.These are just the basics of it, but I think its pretty useful even with this quickie shader. Adding a cloud filter map(s) and its tweaking could make…
Congrats on the new job Paul. Here's my Art Jam submission. I was originally going for this guy: ...but 3 failed starts later I decided I wanted to play with emissive maps in Marmoset and ensure that the model was low poly so I had to axe the rest of him. I'm thinking sub-dermal tech and magic. I'll post up the next Jam…
@Froyok: Thanks so much! You're still my #1 fan :) @spazzme: I appreciate the suggestions. That reel is actually one of my all-time favorites. I think in the near future I'll certainly do another magic tutorial. I wanted to give some space since I did the AoE Ground Attack video last year to cover more topics. Thanks again!
Dethmunk - Thks:) I actually started this project with a different face, but it was too natural and realistic looking. It's actually been a challenge balancing the look and feel of an "android" while trying to make it realistic. Ill share the original face eventually. Spent most of the evening retoping the jkt... but…
Well nothing seemed to work until I wiped all my files and tried again. Now they seem to work in game, though I can't view the blue skin on the backpack in HLMV now for some reason. I'm plagued with demon magic. Still testing it as a skin for the quick fix yielded a weapon with working textures for both side :) Thanks guys…
ha thanks! I am currently learning Cry and UDK so I hopefully ill have at least most of the characters I made in there in a month or so. Hopefully that will make them look finalized and sexy for my portfolio. I wish i lived in a magical land where I could get these no existing internships but I'll just have to man up and…
Tell the truth Soul, your just upset because you found the magic "make good art" MEL script, and now you'll actually have to exert effort to do your job! Seriously though, there is a lot of potential for this to swing either way. Awesome or horrible. I'm excited to see what comes of this 1-2 years down the road. All this…
