I've been invited by the Art Institute of DC to give a two part lecture on texturing at the campus. Not sure if we have any students lurking on the board who attend, but I wanted to post about it anyway. I'm excited because each one of these lectures I do gives me more experience for the day I decide to start teaching. The…
This is my very last minute wip thread, I wanted to design a milspec weapon with decent randomisation. This was the design before it was anywhere near decent, Here's the final. The idea behind the design is that it's a view of a solar flare rendered using colours that may be seen in a 70's era poster. As it's milspec I…
i know timbersaw isn't workshop ready yet but i wanted 2 get this out in the open i guess. just some sort of tree scrap camouflage? possibly with hanging fluffy bits like on treant protector. the mask would be sitting on his head like a hat, not pulled over his face, i think. how to perspective?? ?~? i'd be surprised if…
Have you got any work you can show? If you've only just begun learning 3D I would recommend not starting with a Dota item, as there's certain constraints to adhere to - it might be better just to get something simplistic modeled and textured first, depending on your skill level. I would also recommend checking out the Dota…
Most likely he commissions them from some chinese workshop. It is very very hard to get that kind of information. However he has told his "fans" in his group that he has stopped stealing meshes to avoid DMCA take downs. Though one thing to remember about Copyright is. Regardless if its stolen mesh or not if the products he…
questions: are you basing this on any particular "lore" goblin? ie. games workshop/blizzard/tolkein? do you have references for it? if you're designing your own goblin, what is it's background? what are the traits of the race? what makes yours different from other lore versions of a goblin? these kinds of things will help…
Part of the workshop done with Andrew Baker - Breathing Life and Presence into Digital Creature. The briefing was to create an orc that could somehow inhabit the world of LOTR or The Hobbit but with a bit of a spin to it. Meaning that instead of going for your ordinary common orc we were to design an Orc that has a more…
I was having a shit when the 7.5 hit here in Tokyo last year. My apartment almost fell over. Been having a few low rumblers these days... yesterday a tremblor lasted for about 2 minutes. I'm kinda scared because my new apartment is on the 3rd floor - this in it's self is not the problem, it's just that the 1st floor…
Thanks Kot_Leopold and Mezz! I should have mentioned I'm working from a concept where the character appears to be wearing high heeled boots and her shoulders do appear to be arched backwards. I'll attach it for reference. It's not my concept, but Travis Bourbeau's from the Gnomon Workshop. As for the hands, I'll have to…
Them bones. Having visible bones like spines and rib cages pretty much means the set won't go in currently because it wouldn't be able to be sold in China. They've told that to multiple contributors who had visible bones on popular workshop sets and also stipulated it in the Chinese New Year rules this year. Otherwise the…
