Re: Looking for a job soon, need advice, portfolio critique
The design of the sword is really boring compared to the design of the gun. Are you using any concept art for the sword? It not really showing the best of your abilities. Also, it says environment artist, but you only have one environment that isn't that great I.e. portal style. It sort of really bland like your sword. For… -
Re: The Easily Offended?
I hate the easily offended, particularly the ones in power that get media censored. The FCC, the MPAA, the special interest groups, the soccer moms complaining about baristas wearing bikinis in my state, the people that got the sign saying "the vagina monologues" changes to the "hoo ha dialogues", the list goes on and on.… -
the future or death of the sidescroller
Looking down the list of games soon to be coming out on PS2, Xbox, and GC, it looks as if the good ole sidescroller genre is dead. Unless I missed one? The only sidescrolling type of game on the horizon is Alien Hominid (www.newgrounds.com), which looks awesome, but why is it that game companies think automatically if a… -
Re: 3D Paint with multiple UV in the same material?
Foreground/bkg is having two colors to quickly swap between... x key quickly toggles between them. Helpful for painting grayscale masks, where I constantly switch between painting with white and painting with black. Body Paint borrowed the hotkey from Photoshop, since it's so useful. The Alt key samples a new color from… -
Re: Programmning vs Artist in the Game Industry
I was really on the fence for awhile about this. I love coding! There I said it. Developing algorithms and tools is really quite rewarding. I taught myself and my first project was a small text based dungeon crawl with random dungeons similar to the old rouge game in C++ and was seriously stoked. Network a lot and try to… -
Re: HELP:Getting Started
Thanks Guys! :D The main problem I have is sticking with projects everything is just so interesting I didn't know what to start first. I think i'll probably go with environmental design because I enjoy it most. I just had a few other questions :) 1. If i'm working on environmental design do they need to be playable levels… -
Re: Anyone using 3ds max Xrefs to build levels?
We used Xrefs on Daredevil. It might have been a problem with the older versions of max (we used 4.5/5 on Daredevil), but we ran into some issues with Xrefs. There seemed to be a lot of problems with the objects updating correctly, when you edit the external source file. We constantly found ourselves having to re-xref the… -
Re: Learning Diary: Character Sculpting in Zbrush
Hello all! It has been a while since I last posted but now I started work on a very cool project again and want to share the progress. For our graduation movie we are creating a cyberpunk music video called "Neoshin" and attempt to create a (hopefully) photoreal digidouble as main character which I will be creating We held… -
Re: Future of 3d modeling and texturing
I think AI will take a lot of more menial tasks first. The problem with AI taking over an artists job, is our job is continually evolving, and requiring more and more and more work. As long as computers get more and more powerful, there is no limit to how far we could push our visuals. If you told me 15 years ago, I'd be…
