*there are spelling errors in the image. I speak English as my first language, I was just typing in a rush. I'm so very sorry.* Hey guys, so the other day I came up with a neat idea. I saw some native artwork. I thought to myself, "Gosh, totem poles sure are neat. I wonder what a modern totem pole would look like." That…

Xnormal also comes with a free dilation plugin for Photoshop. In my experience it works better than the Flaming Pear one (which I used to be a fan of, but the blurring is not helpful when you look at how the MIPs are subsequently filtered). Photopea has an even better dilation filter, probably the best I've seen. Blazingly…
I remember this type of color bar for zbrush and wondered why it wasn't the default especially since it adds "cleanliness" to the u.i. for me, especially when customizing the u.i. for your needs. This (from whomever posted it 10 or so years ago, is the bar i am speaking of but it wasn't as long/big, still fine if that is…
It's been awhile since I've done any game art in my freetime so I'm starting up a new project I've had on my mind for a long time. I've been needing to get a better understanding of the PBR workflow and really push myself as an environment artist so this seemed perfect. I feel like I've fallen behind on my sci fi…
I thought about designing a setting belonging to a faction of eco-technological Buddhists. "A floating city on a lake, woven together by canals, cultivated gardens and biotechnological temples in its surroundings. It is a place that blends antiquity with the future, commerce with harmonious coexistence with nature" Full…
Finally some Updates to share! These boston snow storms can't keep me down. So here is a video of the first playable "milestone" I guess you could say. The functionality is pretty much how I want it, and most of the animation stubs are in, some a little more polished than others but nothing is final. [ame="…
I'd say the design isn't bad, it has a sort of rugged boxy look to it. Sort of like grandpa's old rusty fighter from the last great war is the feeling I'm currently getting from it, and maybe you can push that when it comes time for texturing. (Think the old viper fighters from battlestar galactica compared to the new…
To me personally, this looks about as sensable and usefull as that idiotic Thermatake mouse and keyboard with the fan stuck on the front of it "for gamers ultimate grip!" Get a regular cheap IKEA desk, some zip-ties, some double-sided tape, powered USB hub of your own styling choice (class yo!).. Now use double-tape to…
