This is looking great so far. Definitely a fan of dark twisted forests! The tree art looks like it was also done by Billy Wimbletthttps://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/01/the-art-of-fable-legends/ A couple tricks I used to get that dark foreboding look was to set distance fog to be 100% black at the camera, and fading to zero at…
Hey there, I am not a profesional artists so please take everything I say with a grain of salt. First off, I like that you start off by using greyscales, this is an important step to understand shapes and lighting. You already used different values to emphasize these forms, which is a good aproach. For a beginner digital…
Here is my 2 cents on monitors. Let me start off by saying I have 4 monitors currently. 2 x cheap-o Sceptre 24 inch "gamer" monitors (granted when I got the first one it cost over 400, but now they are under 200). 1 cintiq 12 wx and 1 HP LP2475w. The HP LP2475w monitor is without doubt the best monitor I have, although I…
In your example, this backface culling setting was applied to only the "selected" active selection ( if any ). That might lead to unexpected behavior if you simply meant to apply backface culling to "ALL" or on an object that wasn't selected. If that were true then the right answer would be to simply select the "all"…
God would you let me edit my post before quoting? >.< Anyways In other words, they dont expect too much trolling here (I think thats what they meant by "dont be a dick.") You expect them to keep all threads that contain sensitive subjects in check? They can, like, posting a warning in threads that are off, generally…
Heyhey. It's evening so I have time to write up some thoughts. I think you ought to reconsider how youre lighting this. It looks like theres an intense blue spotlight shining on your staff and its washing out the colors of your texture. If youre keen on using the base as a spotlight, you should make it fall off faster…
yes yes, this kid is the fucking rosa parks of gay rights. Go get em tiger. And poop "Go jump off a bridge" with all due respect since looking back over the thread you must be pointing your DUMBEST, most ignorant viewpoints stick at me you apparently didn't read my arguments and jumped on the "HE'S AN ANTIGAY TRAIN!". I…
hey dude, for your first maya and 3d classes, those are honestly some promising looking texturing skills. (some of your images seem to be broken, the only two I can see is the shack in the hills and the dimly lit japanese teahouse.) the hills in your first scene are pretty wild looking and incline way too fast in order to…
It's a lot easier to answer now that I animate, like you said they have some kind of frame of reference even if it's way off the mark they don't stare at me blankly. Outside of the industry: What do you do? I'm a lead character animator. So what does a lead character animator do? I lead the character animation team, make…
I love painting with height map and roughness at the same time, but I wish there was a way to control the value of both after I painted them. Right now I can only change the opacity while it's the actual value that I am interested changing. A bit more procedural if you will. Dodge / Burn that works on all channels, and a…
