Ok one more update before i start pounding out some art and start on the core systems of the game! Art direction: Going for a futuristic western of sorts. Little on the dark and gritty side but definitely want to get bits of character and humor in there too. Think firefly if it was a little more steam punk/ techy. This way…
Check out this thread: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137206 Part of my reply in it, but there is lots of good info from others beyond me rambling. I think you'll find the industry all depends on people's history, path, expectations, and things like that. It's not cut and dry. There's good and bad and it's…
Edit and on a side note So, after going trough a shit load of emails/messages and talking to a bunch of amazing and talented people, we realized that 3d artists are a lot more expensive than we initially thought. We unfortunately cannot spend more than $450 per month for 3d art, as we really don't have more money than…
I'm in the penultimate semester of architectural grad school working on my thesis. My project is a redesign of RFK stadium in Washington D.C. - the now abandoned stadium of the former Washington Redskins.

The website itself looks good Cut the stuff you are the least sure off. Cut the cognition things, they dont look too great and the poses look…
Off the top of my head ;) [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpLBzV9uG0Y[/ame] Texturing - Traditional Shaders to PBR Shaders: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-conversion General Rules: Only colour Info In Albedo, no more lighting info overlayed (AO, PRT etc.. although depending on style, some cavity can be…
Umm yes. the performance benefit is practical when I say ahhhh after hitting the button. That I am satisfied is the only measure of practicality. Can u prove me wrong? no. A 2600k renders a cinebench of 7 increased threads and the overclock room of an extreme processor like the i7-990x allows it to render 24/7 ( quietly at…
I've posted here before. Decided I wasn't really ready to procure at that point. BUT THE TIME IS NOW. Do you think you can produce better artwork than this?** Are you looking for some freelance work on an indie game? Do you want to work on something that's actually going to be published, and has a decent chance of selling…
Heard about this contest from a buddy and figured I'd throw myself in to see where I'm at skillwise. I don't play League of Legends, so I didn't know any of the champions when I first started. I just started browsing the alphabetical list of official Riot biographies on each champion 'til I stumbled on Camille. I found her…
