Re: Pre-Dom War V - Caution
seriously if this wasn't a artist driven contest, he would be sued for fraud any second - why expand every year, why tell the people you have more prices which don't exist? its pretty much fucked up, because as if ANY of the winners would need a new ps3 or wacom tablet or something, if its about the money, fine let the… -
Re: Piracy...
I've already explained why games cost how much they cost. I won't explain it again On the point of cutting initial cost for wider consumer appeal it only happens with businesses that have an established revenue stream due to market share. So Sony and Microsoft can bite the bullet on console prices because they get sweet… -
Re: What is the aim of a highpoly for inorganic models?
A. Mudbox works better than viewport canvas for somethings, but it works great for painting quick masks without having to go to a separate app and do the whole "export, import, doodle, export, import" dance. Hopefully autodesk will get some GoZ type features working soon so its much easier to jump back and forth. B. Sure… -
Re: Do we really need to be Uv mapping in 2015?

Re: AtlusZMH's new Portfolio(Env/Prop Artist)
I've already plugged this elsewhere, but Racer himself has a tutorial on CGTuts+ about hand-painting metal textures, it's certainly applicable to weapons and such. http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/photoshop/how-to-hand-paint-convincing-metal-textures/ Another CGTuts+ tutorial, this one by Xoliul, has some info on… -
Re: Cinema 4d anyone?
Having used Cinema4D for over 10 year I think I can chime in here. I have had very good contacts to Maxon at some point. I used to be a beta tester as well. For years and years I have tried to tell them to do something for "Game Artist" but always got little to no reply or even worse got told that they have little interest… -
Re: Beginner Environment Artist Looking for Tips
All of the above these guys said are true. You need to learn how to make good assets before jumping to a scene, but you can always try.

Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
the title of this thread is "The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way... " and essentially that is what a lot of the posting has been, not much to do with modeling tools, and some cheap shot package cheer leading. despite stated intentions to the contrary. which is predictable and boring. so if you want… -
Re: Regular and Professional Graphic card
I had a Quadro card in my old work system. It was pretty decent for modeling in 3ds but playing games or previewing animations in the viewport forget it! We have an ancient engine that runs on 2 rocks and a paperclip and it had trouble at times... We do a lot of rendering here and for the most part we get it done on our…
