Re: Paintball Mod Character + Props
I agree about the proportions. For me the problem area is the chest. The two pads covering the pecs are small. Plus, they are being contrasted by the much larger shapes of the pads below them. They just seem to make him look weak. It may be too late, but you could improve them by either breaking up the shape of the pads… -
Re: Looking for environment art portfolio critique!
Thank you both for the advice, I really appreciate it! Lighting is definitely one of the skills I am working to improve, as well as getting some new stuff in my portfolio in general. I also agree that some of the textures on older projects could use some work as well, and could probably be removed from the portfolio once… -
Re: Coastline [Environment Scene]
I'd recommend getting some greybox houses in place and working to create the sense of depth that the concept has between the pillar on the left and the larger settlement on the right. At present those two elements seem equally distant from the viewer in your scene, where there is a lot more separation in the concept. Note… -
Re: StarWars Dark Forces Inspired Game Art
I have thought of that, and no, I won't do the hud like that, for two reasons - the first is that it's not really true to the style of the Dark Forces games, and the second is that I really don't like how the semitransparent interfaces look. Also, I really don't think it's necessary, since about 90% of whats visible as… -
Re: Breakable environments discussion (56k warning)
Lucas bought Digital Molecular Matter a year or two ago, I think... their stuff really blows away everything except maybe Crysis which it still seems to beat pretty badly (haven't seen the new Gears stuff, though). Props to Lucas Arts for really making good use of DMM, too. The destruction in Force Unleashed seems to be… -
Re: Gothic Interior
So instead of a 512x1024 you put two pillars side by side on one 1024x1024. I'd actually make that part of a 512 and pack on some other stuff like the top and bottom pieces. As for the stretching, you can either start that way, by setting the custom bitmap dimensions. Or create a texture with those dimensions (uncheck use… -
Re: dergraph graphism
Yeah, I would love to have one or two of these on my wall, too! You can get prints made on demand at cafe press. http://www.cafepress.com/cp/customize/?id=7. There's another site I knew of (forgot it), where you can possibly make more $$$, though they have an approval process to let you be on their site. I'm sure you would… -
Re: TexTools for Blender
This is such a great add-on. Once I get some funds in my Paypal, I'll to donate a bit. Thank you very much! The color ID tool looks really useful too. One question/ request. Would it be possible to apply the Color Grid texture, rather than the UV Grid Texture under the "Texels" panel? Maybe an option to choose between the… -
Re: [Portfolio] Gary Matthews - Environment Artist
Thanks a lot, Luke. This was what I was looking for. Thanks for catching those typos. Sometimes I type too fast for my own good. I went ahead and corrected the typos. I will go back and do some more polishing on my textures and materials with my two scenes. In the long run I may end up replacing the hideout scene as it is… -
Re: Balls out METAL. the wa it damned well should be!!
I've been a huge Metallica fan in the past, but the last album aged too quickly. I hear the band's newest effort will be a return to form. So many bands (Megadeth, Slayer, Rush) are making comebacks. It's a great time to listen to rock again. Now if only Nickelback would split and remove itself from my radio. With Machine…
