Re: Fever Induced Rant
whoa.. didnt know this was such an issue benny boy.. its okay you like things other people dont or do. i dont care, but when someone else has an alternate view or opionion i dont think it is deserved to sterotype them into group and attack them. the main difference i see is instead of accepting people all like different… -
Re: Am I stealing? Borrowing?....What did I do!?
There are too many things to respond to, so I just want to throw in my two cents :P I think it's sad that it's so easy to just literally steal other people's work nowadays (I mean like copy and paste or tracing). This is just stealing, so I don't think anyone is in disagreement about that. However, you can look at a lot of… -
Re: My texture thread
hey dude, cool stuff keep them comming! right now they look to clean i think. each of these textures is very '3d'. that is, pristine and without character. i think each of these need more textural detail, some of them need to be less bright.. the colors could be more vibrant and they're also fairly monotone. here's a few… -
Re: TES: Oblivion
I am completing the guilds one at a time, so i dont get kicked out of any for going against thier rules. Dark Brotherhood is next. I've cleared 10-15 caves, 6 elven ruins, and 10 oblivion gates. And YES you do appreciate the design at first, but the truth is that the dungeons are very lego-y. All the elven ruins have the… -
Use Vertex Normals For Better LODs!
Recently I've come to love vertex normals and have fully adopted them into my workflow. And as of not too long ago I have come across another great benefit of vertex normals. (Sorry if most of you already know this, I'm mostly out of the loop and learn these things independently.) Vertex normals can be tricky to handle,… -
Re: Digital Human Sculpt Process
[I KNOW THIS IS A VERY OLD THREAD, BUT I STUMBLED ON IT WHILE LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO RETOPOLOGIZE A HUMAN BODY. SINCE IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST RESULTS OF MY SEARCH, I GUESS OTHERS WITH SIMILAR NEEDS WILL EVENTUALLY LAND HERE. JUST LEAVING MY 2 CENTS FOR THOSE WHO'LL COME AFTER ME.] There's nothing *technically* wrong,… -
Re: Which 3D Sculpting App?
I've used all three and I have to say that all three, save for the 2.5 version of Z-brush. All have their advantages, but to be honest for the majority of what you really need to do Silo 2 is more than sufficent. I've been pushing between 2.5-3 million polys in it, so breaking the mesh up into pieces I can double digit… -
Re: Suddenly Lead Artist
I wrote an article about being a positive art lead in my blog late last year http://willkowach.blogspot.com/2011/12/stunted-growth-being-positive-art-lead.html But in terms of the qualities and characteristics of a lead role, some folks are different and I really think it's about their approach to solidifying that role as… -
Re: For teaching purposes can you kindly donate any current gen assets?
Thanks for the love guys and understanding, there's some amazing resources from all of you so thank you! When the students get to see these products whether its a Drop ship, Batman Car, Aircraft Carrier and so they realize its a team effort and it becomes quite apparent that for many in this industry you have to learn to… -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
Awesome write up Malcom. Just going to throw my two cents in here as well based off what was done for Reach. We used 6 different types of lighting. Dynamic, Vertex, Lightmap, Single Probe, Emissive and Uber. Some of these are lights themselves some are lighting methods, just main important ones I thought would be…
