Re: Pratikah - Arenanet Art Test
Ive been going back and forth a fair bit tbh. this is my first time going through the zbrush process, so i'll be the first to admit I dont know the "correct" workflow. I'm kinda buffaloing myway through, but I'll end up with a high poly sculpt and a low poly model at the end of the day... Im more than open to suggestions,… -
Re: Is this a good rig for Modeling/Gaming?
Yeah pretty much any PC these days will be good for modeling. If you want to have more than 2 mil polys in Zbrush though you need a good amount of ram. I used to have 3GB and could only push around 5mil polys whereas now with 8GB it defaults to 22mil polys - huuuge difference. I spent about $450 on my recent upgrade and I… -
Re: Portfolio Critique?
Love your art style, gorgeous paintings! What your concept art portfolio is strongly lacking in is the visual development side of concept art. You are mostly showcasing illustrations. The Art Director wants to see you give them many variations on a concept, ability to iterate, quickly render, and polish when necessary.… -
Re: I want to use Zbrush for Hard surface (For Production)
There's a big thread on it here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128964 A lot of people argue that doing it in ZBrush will give you a speed boost since you can just dynamesh awkward shapes, e.g. a piece of armor shaped like an eagle's head might be a pain to model, but could be blocked out fairly quickly in… -
Re: Space Marshall - concept to model wip
I like how you have a bit of an old west flair to him, considering he's a marshall. Also it seems like the armor ranges are pretty cool. If I were you I'd stray from the star-trek look of the shirt in 1 and 2. My personal favorite is 3 because it looks like he's got some interesting thigh-holsters for pistols and he just… -
Re: Getting off of a Skill Plateau
Okay, So when somebody reaches a "skill plateau" I assume that they have exhausted all creative, skill base, and technical know how they have. Sort of painting themselves into a corner because they have reached a certain peek of self awareness and are hungry for new ideas to balance themselves back out. So taking a quick… -
Re: New Ultima game on Kickstarter
Actually it was considered to be one of the worst, because it was too ambitious and a lot of content got cut to make a pre-set release date. Ultima IX suffered a similar fate. The one most people and fans consider to be the best is Ultima VII. That's where NPCs had daily schedules, opening their shop and baking bread and… -
Re: First time modeling in Maya looking for some advice! [WIP]
Thank you! I should have been more specific! I think, at least as of now, that modeling those gun ports and various other things shouldn't be too hard (knocks on wood*). If I create floating pieces of geo for say, the front and side armor plates, then I suppose I would have the option of creating floating geos for the… -
Re: A rookie asking for help.
Hello bundle Jumper. I should have did this but you don't have to make my beginner learning mistakes. Now if I was learning for the first time I would make small achievement goals, so say you want to mimic a texture such as metal or leather or anything along these lines. Make a small project even a simple plane panel or… -
Re: Survey: (Max and Mays) user opinions on Maya's outliner
Do you even use the outliner? - Yes, all the time. Describe for me what you think the outliner was design to do - Exactly what it looks to do. Provide a list of everything in the scene so you can quickly select it. What is it's greatest strength? - Just being there. What is it's greatest weakness? - Needs more filters.…
