Quoted out of context actually. Italicized for emphasis "Never, EVER remove the forward, (Z-Axis), movement keys from your character’s root/pelvis bone to see your character cycling on the spot unless you want them to plane forward in an unnatural manner when you key them forward again. We don’t move linearly in real life,…
I changed my career when i was 25 and it can be a very scary process. I spent 6 years in the military and was promoted to a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force. I gave that up for a chance to work in the game industry. I got out knowing nothing, not even how to use Photoshop, but by the time I was 26 i got my first internship…
I'd say start working toward larger scale things. Look you're not going to be asked to do level 1 or final boss level in a game until you have made low level stuff (lamps, crates, etc). Think about your art work as leveling up in an RPG or something. Work small and build big. Like a basketball player would not go…
First of all great work and everything here (Y) I think the one thing I've noticed in all your pieces are the lack of material/height definition in your values... e.g. metal comes off looking flat, wooden objects look like flat wood with very little variety in surface detail. Another issue would be the absence of rim…
Well now that I look at the wires, you put it in there but it's textures blend into the brick. Using a gray stone for the ledges would help break up the floors. Also trimming vertical between your tiles would help add character to the building. kind of like this. Adding Crown molding details around the top of the building…
Ahhh good post Adam. I was talking about this type of stuff the other day as we were discussing how we could push our game environments and worlds further and be more like it's real world counter part. Take for example. My apartment. You walk in and it's gorgeous. It looks perfect BUT when you start getting closer and…
its what angers me about the american media until this day, they were cheerleaders in all of this, you will never see a mainstream reporter bring any of this up and take them to task. after all of the info proved to be false,they turned it from search of WMD's to the "forefront on the war on terror" if Clinton would have…
Hey guys wanted to share my latest piece of terrain design using Gaea as the main tool. I tried to push the software as much as I could to do the macro intention and then I just textured in painter to create a roughness and color variation by applying some materials from megascans and overlaying some masks. I hope you like…
This is something I been debating. I did do a version of this in zbrush and the comment I received was why does he have boobs even though it was closer to some of the reference images. They are more apparent when he arches forwards, again a matter of age. for example here, I'll push the lower part out a bit and…
Today is a crazy day here at the office, and with Emil lost in Australia on some crazy adventure and MoP still finding his footing in his new place there's no time to whip up a recap this week. There is, however, some updates to the site and things on the horizon. Currently live updates One of the most recent updates to…
