Not back to start the dialogue up, life got in the way, and I just got done making some adjustments to the site, etc.. and items were tweaked related to feedback from this forum. Just wanted to thank everyone for their input, it helped us look at from a different angle. It doesn't matter whether your input made me feel…
Hello everyone, Today I am posting to try to solve a question that I have been carrying with me for a long time, and truth be told, I would like to be able to resolve it in order to create my environments with more confidence and security, or at least shed some light on the matter. The question is related to finding the…
Hey guys One of the things i struggle most with while sculpting is proportion. I get way too keen, get tunnel vision for the particular area i'm working and lose track of the overall model. This doesn't impact the final product too much, but its the sculpting equivalent of the scenic route and my workflow is slow as a…
I really like your AR/VR pieces and the pumpkin textures/materials. Your large environment, however, suffers from very flat and inconsistent lighting. In a way, it looks more 2D than the concept. You did set additional lights and rim lights for important pieces, which is good in principle, but it's only partially motivated…
I think each sentence you wrote there is fundamentally incorrect. Most games don't use displacement at all, because the displacement maps must be high bit depth and uncompressed to work properly. That eats up a ton of precious memory, it's generally cheaper just to use a lot of verticies up front with no d map If a game…
I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I was struggling so much to find my first job, and working on my portfolio but feeling like I was just making stuff but never getting anywhere. I got a email from a semi shady company that had me do an art test, and send the .fbx files ( i know now I shouldn't have but I was so…
Thanks all for the commentary, glad she's gotten to the recognizable stage. Mop: Her ears are HUGE in that photo! wow. Must be the earrings. She really does seem to have smallish ears in most of the photos I've found without jewelry. i.e. this Part of the issue with the ears and eyes is my base mesh. Too much detail is…
I heard through the grapevine that the new Sims game was leaked early, I'm thinking it must have been a disgruntled EA worker. This cant be good Will Wright must be pissed! I thought they had this game locked down tighter than Fort Knox. Do you think this will majorly effect the sales once its officially launched?

Personally I still check out the forum from time to time, I owe it (you all) and its wiki a lot. It's sad to see it right now though, I think it represents the decaying state of the industry. I hope we get to see better days again, this place makes me appreciate having a sense of community around 3D art. Seeing this thread…
