Re: BFA vs. Certificate

Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 7 (Join in!)
Hey Guys have two questions: 1. I'll be bold....Can I get some comments, and critiques on this :) ?, It's my first environment,1st hand painted assets , and first time in UDK. SO I am really in a vacuum here. I know about the tiling issues, that need to be fixed ,stretching,cleanup, and getting my trees in , but overall… -
Re: Best auto UV unwrap?
We usually place a seam in the middle of the chin and another one goes up to the tip of the nose. These two are kinda mountainous areas and would produce too much stretching if not cut. We cut up the rest of the head to maximize UV space usage. Generally a standalone head model has to include the neck down to the level of… -
Re: [WIP]Sci-fi Environment-UDK
I think that the biggest thing that is missing right now is character in your texture work as well as overall layout. When I looked at this originally, I immediately thought of the Hyperion from Starcraft 2. Pretty standard ship, but it has amazing lighting and some really lifelike textures. What will make your work stand… -

Re: Imagining the Final Image.
As you see people and things in reality, try to imagine a geometric topology; recognize the basic volumes, making particular note of their relative proportions. Drawing from life or even just looking at things in a certain frame of mind also helps build spacial imagination capabilities - try to catalogue everything into… -
Re: The Wild West - Punto Muerto Valley (WIP) (Unreal 4)
Here's the latest look of the map with the newer rocks. I made the newer rocks more boxy and a little chiseled to give the cliffs some form. I'm hoping I can wrap up the rock-adding as I don't want to overcomplicate the map with too much rocks and start on the props soon. I thought of having this area as a mine shaft. The… -
Re: [WIP] Scrapyard Claw (UDK)
Hey Jared, so I totally agree with Burton on the edges. Tight edges look badass on a high poly render but when you bake them down they tend to look strange. Softening the edges up a bit helps this read a bit more and exaggerates the form somewhat which again aids readability. As for the welding I've been thinking of… -
Re: New name for brand/identity
+1 for cookedpeanut. Forcing a name with meaning and marketability just isn't the greatest idea, because it almost always sounds generic or like it's trying too hard. Cookedpeanut's easy enough to remember, I don't have anything else associated with it (aside from cooked peanuts), and it feels more natural than any of the… -
Re: Any tips regarding Zbrush?
You are trying to tackle too much at once. Two days is barely enough time to get to grips with Zbrush's viewport navigation. Certainly nowhere near enough time to expect a beginner to learn all the tools necessary to block out a base mesh. I think the best thing for you to do is to spend several months following modeling…
