Getting serious with 3D environment art creation
Hello all! Over the past 3 years, I've been doing 3D art, what made me pursue this hobby is because I love environments. I've played games that sometimes get me stuck wandering around just to admire the view and think how does one make a cool looking environment. I've been researching, reading cool articles at 80.lv , and… -
[ZBrush] ~ Normal map gets cut out around creases
Hello everybody! Newcomer here. I've just recently started to follow a game design course and we've started to tinker with ZBrush for hiPoly-to-normal-map baking. We're not supposed to try sculpting, yet, as we're still at an early stage with the lessons....but I just couldnt wait!! Basically, this is the workflow: .:… -
Re: How do you get into the Polycount Recap?
I didn't even know there is such a thing like the WAYWO thread when I came to pc forums. But even when I realized how it works it took me a some tries to get in. I analized the Recaps before and realized that it's not that misterious thing, how to get in. Basically you just need to do something that pops out of the rest of… -
How to get that 'pixel' style out of your textures without OpenGL?
Hello, I am trying to get that pixelated look your textures get when you make the Texel lookup in OpenGL "nearest". I love the look and want to use it for a project I am working, however OpenGL doesn't work well for the rest of my scene I have and causes rendering & viewing errors all over the place. Using Nitrous works… -
Have a 360, should I get a PS3?
So I've been a long time follower of the xbox but never had enough money to get a playstation too. But recently I've been pondering the idea of getting one because I want to play the uncharted and god of war games that I decided to look into pricing. Seems that I could get a ps3 for $200. Worth it? I'm just on the fence… -

Re: Characters - getting better
Thanks KyleJensen and Stoop_Kid. Yeah it's tricky depending on which reference you're working from. As they are usually artists interpretations a lot of my anatomy reference contradicts itself. But then it also depends on what layers of muscle are on display and what's being emphasized as Ged said. I'm pretty sure the… -
Paying the Bills... How to Get a Job?
Hey guys! Just curious, what does everyone here do to pay the bills while they work towards their game art? Do you have another job that keeps you stable? Are you in an unhappy day job situation? If so, any advice for me would be great as I'm trying to get some kind of other job. Hopefully one that has some growth room in… -
How do you get better at drawing?
I keep sinking time into it, and I get really non-ideal results... Does anyone have general advice that could help me get better? I'm not looking for advice like "(draw!)x5" I've done that, I want to actually get good y'know? Like how do you even study anatomy with effectiveness? Or paint values like a boss? Do you need a… -
Re: Struggling 3D Artist in Japan
if you want to get better at 3D art, you're going to have to buy the software and train yourself in your free time Last I checked Novedge had one of the cheapest listings for a Zbrush license (I'm not sure if this is the case anymore, I don't see a perpetual license listed, would want to double-check), you can also buy a…
