Hey Folks, A friend of mine who I used to work with at Epic is going on a European tour collecting reference images and videos while documenting the experience in words. Finding reference of what we want to build is hard work, not simply the task of finding something that's well enough lit, has shots of different angles…
Hello, I need help. I don't know where to go, during the weekend I watched all the youtube and cgtuts videos on this matter, and still don't get good results... I don't understand and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a big problem with normal maps. I will start from the start: what I have did. I´ve modeled a…
I ran into this little problem today: This is because the height-map of the grass material (that I use to displace the landscape geometry) was much darker than the other materials, meaning that it's retracting the geometry / not pushing it out as much. To fix this, I added a 'Histogram Range' node at the end of my…
Hello everyone! I am a videogame art student from Barcelona that's graduating this year. After sometime lurking here I finally decided to post screenshots my end of career project (we call this TFG here). To give some context, I began this back in September and I've been doing the whole project alone, my project will be a…
before this rant im about to go on its a good idea to post Peter Moores pretty decently worded response to this: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ea-voted-worst-company-in-america-peter-moore-responds/0113754 .......Aaaaaaaaand here we go: Holy fucking LOL. first off if you have never worked for them, you really have no…
Firstly, are you auto-playing random songs on your blog? Please don't do that, haha If it's any consolation I think it's very common to feel frustrated when you start a drawing or sculpt or model. Not to high-jack or self-promote but I found a old zbrush file with it's history and looked through it and the start of the…
k heres the rundown i have Spaceys lowpoly players, weapons STJoris's props fully functional and working in-game and i have started working on the unlockables using modified versions of Spaceys weapon models. (model editing and uv-mapping) I can model edit but not model (pitiful huh?)so i need someone to model the rest of…
Hey PolyCount, im making a character for a class i am in this quarter and i decided to learn a new pipeline. I started with my basic mesh in Maya and did the rest of my detailing in Zbrush intending to retopo the meshes and unwrap after my detail was done. So im at that point but nothing seems to work as i had hoped. here…
Just a little about me, im a novice 3d artist who has played around on/off in CG for a year now, but I am looking to get serious and try improve my modeling ability. IM very comfortable with 3DS max and can create basic models, but anything with any kind of complex shape or curvature is a lost cause for me. I am looking to…
To be honest people are never really going to change their ways, and why would/should they? I'm all for "greening" up, but just not in the generally excepted way. With the population soring the way it is, even if we manage to cut the global carbon emissions down by half in the next 50 years, the population would have…
