Re: Stylized Gradient Slider Inspired by Valorants Shading
The maths are explained in the linked article. it's a simple texture lookup (gradient map) based on light contribution - i.e dot(light direction, surface normal) the nice thing here is that rangaros has used curve assets instead of textures to define the gradients. This replaces the engine modification described in the… -
Re: Here or CGHero?
First of all props for being aware that work has a cost, and that said cost is indeed quite high. Now this thread is very interesting imho because it reveals that there is much more than seemingly meets the eye with this kind of project. With all that said, there are two ways to answer your question. - - - - - 1 • The… -
Re: What would you tell your younger self that would shave off the time you took to learn 3d?
- start small and fail FAST! it's hard to learn something when your project is huge. that's why I make simple props i can do in a weekend when i want to learn something. - you DON'T need to be perfect, just 'good enough'.

Re: New Line drops Peter Jackson from The Hobbit

The comment was more generally about an inescapable feature of the information age. These days nearly anyone can turn on the television,… -
Re: The Future of the Dota 2 Workshop
Been away from this thread for a while (still awesome btw), and I've had some new thoughts on the workshop, but a couple of quick catch up points first, if you guys don't mind: * Feedback from Valve on every item is not practical.

Re: Questions about getting into the industry, college, freelancing, please help.

I've been self teaching and looking at tuts and all that since 13 I think that was when I started modeling, but only about last year did I actually decide that this is what I wanted to do with my life and begin modeling 24/7. Here's an audi I rendered today, it was my first project after… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
yea....most of the advice in this thread is spot on from people who know what they are talking about. Its probably downer advice but its all pretty true. Every single person with a rock solid portfolio that I know is working right now, after studio closures and almost every job in Vancouver being contract work of 3-9… -
Re: Lionhead Concept: Fable 3... I think.
Hey, sorry this is bringing a dead thread up but I feel bad for not responding to it, I was only made aware by others that you guys had replied to it. @TemporalDrift, haha it must be a curse because I never completed it. By the looks of yours, you obviously went in with a heavier polycount, I tried to be as fruggle as… -
