Re: What have I done wrong? - Quads vs. Triangles vs. Beveling
Well for one, your model (the grey one) seems to be using meshsmooth in the un-wireframe'd image. I'm not all that familiar with current-gen modeling techniques but here are my guesses: -triangulation is used to easily vary the amount of detail the mesh offers, so they can round the corners out without making the whole… -
Re: Tressfx-solution to time cosuming polygonal hair modeling.
Yeah, no kidding. I wish more people would realize that just because something is automated and new, doesn't make it better, especially since as the artist you need to learn the tool and jumping from tool to tool won't solve any of their problems. I wouldn't be surprised if this took longer to work with, with combing and… -
Re: School Success Rate
I too, am a product of San Diego Ai. I agree with cman2k that the wide spread spectrum of topics learned is a little out of control. The college I went to - San Diego Ai - the knowledge that is required to be a successful "entry level" artist is something that is just starting to catch up with the technology. San Diego Ai… -
Re: FaceGen: Nice for ref or for lazy modelers
We are using the make art button... uh, I mean Face Gen here at work on our current title. I find it valuable for generating a rough mesh to go from. It doesnt give normal maps, it's textures are only on the face and I find it easier to create one from scratch in photoshop. What I have come to take from the program aside… -
Re: [Low poly] Would you please evaluate my work?
I think the main thing you have to do is catch up on current gen workflows. Even as for "lowpoly" art, today there are a lot of new techniques to make stuff look more appealing. I would say since polycount became much less important, low poly art is often a stylistic choice while your art looks like it is going for some… -
Re: Using 3ds Max with voice recognition
I feel you man, I've been plagued by constant pain for a long time now although not at your level. When you can use a mouse again you could give keyhydra a shot as suggested, it did help me when I was testing it (although I really don't know how Massimo does everything with just one key...). Other than that, there's hope… -
Re: RAD Environment Team, The Order: 1886 Art Dump
Holy fuck guys! Yall really have set the benchmark for how good this gen should, and can look like. Every single piece posted is totally inspiring. I have some studying to do, hehe. Kudos to everyone on the team, and thanks so much for posting! Congrats to you all. Yall should be extremely proud....seriously. Looking… -
Re: I'll take 2 please!
2900.. Considering it also has input for next gen consoles, svideo and laptops plus the memory card reader and its also an ipod dock and fully HD capable it doesn't seem as bad as I first would have guessed. I'd expect a lot of these functions in most home entertainment systems these days, but it all coming in an R2-D2… -
Re: [Portfolio] wailingmonkey, 3Dmodeler/Artist
works well now :) The holla character has a lot of character and is probably your best one. The blond one feels like the proportions are off and is a bit weird looking, though that isn't helped by the fact that it isn't posed. I think you just need a lot more character work and some more interesting and challenging… -
Re: metal slug anthology for the wii
yeah yeah lol lets fight about it eh? there's not a whole lot of wii games out there, it also seems like a really social platform i'm sure alot of people picked ms over other games cuz they saw "ooh look 4 players" on the back of the box. Every game box has all kinds of jazzy next gen marketing buzz words all over it and…
