How are you liking Animation Mentor? I was talking to Stan Szymanski, the head of the Digital Studio at Digital Domain, and he was saying Animation Mentor is amazing and is one of the first places they go to look for animators. Jason Pichon, our fourth block instructor (and former Disney animator), attended Animation…
Thanks for the feedback. You're right Hudston; I don't want people to go easy on me, I want to get better. @Spudnik I was thinking the same thing about the bull. Thankfully, I planned for it in my original model, so it won't be too hard to reinclude. I'll probably remodel it starting from a cube this time instead of a…
The following post will outline some of my finding from a quick study of other redesigned and updated characters To help with the design process a quick comparative look at other popular and graphically improved characters was required. Mario and Snake were chosen because they are both very popular/Easily recognisable and…
Degenerates are not really a single problem, but a class of problems. A polygon can degenerate when it distorts or twists on itself. For example, imagine a quad twisting so much that it looks like a bow tie. You'll simultaneously have the front face and back face visible, which is wrong. That could be considered a…
Yeah this is pretty much it. I think its really important to understand what dDo is. First and foremost its a toolset to automate a lot of the grunt work artists would normally do by hand. Setting up and managing layers over multiple input types, using baked content (normal map, ao, etc) to create base layer masks for…
I intended to have this for you a little sooner but... here we are anyway. The Watervilla Kortenhoef, interesting building to say the least. I found a few images that seemed to have varying floor plans, so I just went with something that loosely resembled your initial reference image. sprunghunt pretty much summed up much…
I work in the same building that Total A was made in, MANY MANY MOONS ago, so everyone here has a bit of bot love, myself included. Of course Cave Dog is long gone but we still have a few old timers kickin around and every once in a while a server goes up. My cubemates and I talked about it and this is what we came up…
We’re back from the dead…? Hey guys! It's been a while (like 8 months) since our last update & the cancellation of our Kickstarter, but we’re still going. Things have still been slow without outside funding, but we’ve completed most of preproduction for the full game (an achievement in our book!) We’ll be making updates…
hi .. i registered just to post this message (as the first ;) ) ... this looks totally aweome .. but imho it does not reflect faithfully the ss2 athmospere .. looks like other game as i said in your youtube "shodan revealed" video ... seems too much "mechanical" or "transformer" coming from physical world than "virtual" or…
Smart guy. You should listen to him. I did a bit of browsing on that project and it's going to fail. From what I could tell it sounds like a bunch of pre-20 (some of them have posted their age) fans of an anime that don't understand reality yet. That's not a bad thing as I myself have been there before. It's just that…
