Hey there, I'm considering buying my girlfriend a Wacom Bamboo Fun for Christmas as she loves using my Intuos for her illustration work but the amount she will use it doesn't warrant the purchase of an Intuos. I notice the new Bamboo appears to have some quite impressive specs (as Bamboo tablets go) with 1024 levels of…
well i know you've all been waiting for a new post from me, so i figured i'd bust out my A-material. as of about 20 minutes ago, an 8 year old cousin of mine was at the house with her mother. I was showing them how the Wacom tablet + Photoshop works, and 5 minutes later Sparkles the Cat was born. Since they requested that…
hello artists, I am an artist who wants to get a job as a character artist. But I am having trouble of getting my foot into the industry sadly. I'm currently doing a masters in game technology as a 3D artist pushing to be a character artist. Been trying to get a job before my course ends but no success with replays saying…
thanks....guess i will give some old faces a try as well...didn't really gave much thought to age variation up until now.....i do use some references from this book, its good. upgraded from a 5.5 inch graphic tablet to 16 inch display one (one by wacom --> huion kamvas pro 16) slowed down my sculpting speed quite a bit,…
@AtticusMars The adventure game genre was huge in the 80's and 90's, Myst was bundled with pretty much every CD Rom drive. Puzzle solving games didn't really have a foothold on consoles but they were prevalent on PC. I'd recommend giving Real Myst a try, it's a remake of Myst in a real time 3d engine. If you have a tablet,…
I've always used Blender since the day one I started 3D, and it's easy to install in a studio environment, because it can be run as a portable application and there's no license issues since it's free. BUT, I'm at least keeping Maya and Max close in order to import my character models to them and set them up for riggers.…
Comparing this to that makes no sense... think of its as buying a wacom tablet and duplicating it in some fictional machine and distributing to everyone for a smaller fee than what wacom charges (watching ads on twitch instead of 60$). And i guess you want game developers to only make multiplayer games from now on? Also…
I agree on the topology points, check out the wiki for some decent examples of good face and body topology. I'm also curious what platform this is aimed at, you said you want to keep it low poly, is it supposed to be for mobile/ tablet etc.? If it's aimed at current gen platforms the poly count would be too low by the…
I set up my tablet this time to do a tiling texture, started with a simple square stone floor texture. I actually wanted to use the move and rotate tools within zbrush to make it pop more. Threw this into substance painter with a quick smart material as I wanted to see how I can move forward with the bricks. I don't want…
Switched full time to Blender for about 6 months and changed to Gimp and completed some jobs with Krita long before. I am absolutely amazed by the stability, speed of development and jaw dropping user support when it comes to open source software. Lately I am becoming more disillusioned with Win 10. With the tools I use my…
