*yawn* boring. this thread is shifting way off course as usual. we moved from poverty, to Bush, to OMG IT IS THE TERRORISTS!!!1 Anyone else sick of hearing that word? Does it still hold meaning? What is a terrorist? Obviously someone who commits an act of violence in order to intimidate a country to agree to there demands.…
I think it probably helps to say what kind of work you do. For environment hard surface work, I've gotten pretty good with all the major programs so it doesn't really matter which I use, but the workflow does differ a bit between them. A lot of the stuff is the same, so I just copy/pasted.…
Hey friends, After a long voyage, the space ship urgently needs a deep cleaning ... I'm the lead developer behind Bforartists. Bforartists is a fork of the popluar open source 3D software Blender. With the goal to improve the UI and handling. It can be found here: https://www.bforartists.de The picture was one of those…
@lolpoly Yeah, differing sizes are definitely something I'd noticed while designing the helmet. Admittedly, I did want to fall pretty close to the concept, but I also wanted it to lend more towards realism than stylization and was thus using a head and neck under the head armor as a guide. Realistically, they'd probably…
If you are serious about making a living wage as an artist, always avoid the race to the bottom when it comes to what you charge. Usually you will have way less headaches with companies and clients who are willing to pay a decent wage, way less revisions and nit picking usually that someone who has an extremely low budget…
This is not a bug, but simply the default behavior. Normal maps are always in linear space (sRGB off) Gloss maps are usually linear as well (but this may vary depending on your workflow/engine) Albedo maps are usually sRGB/gamma space Specular maps are usually gamma space as well So depending on where you load a texture…
Well, some people get butthurt, if they can't handle it it's their loss really. It's just an opinion from your side, personal or professional. No need to take it all personally, I usually go for the critique sandwhich which is usually 1.Positive thing 2.Negative thing 3.Positive thing However, I wouldn't read too much into…
I don't really see anything that qualifies this as "next-gen" other than simply adding a few more bones than usual. Blend shapes use more memory, and are usually created from a bone rig anyway. Bone rigs use more cpu/gpu. This used to be a bottle neck, but now that modern gpu's can do hardware skinning there's almost no…
guess i forgot to mention that the kongsberg turret is the one that is mounted on the stryker. oh well. here's some more stuff. i coloured off the various sights. on every modern tank, you'll have that array. a daysight, thermal imager, and LRF. some other things that you could consider adding, is SHTORA: its a system that…
I agree with everyone else here, that you should choose a specialty path and really hit it hard to show your greatest strengths. Getting into other areas isn't bad though either, as it will show you know the whole pipeline, but sometimes not the best to put on your portfolio for what position your really going for. That's…
