Re: State of the Industry: Why you should or should not give up.
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Wow, I was reading the negative thread when the merge happened, and I got really confused for a second. Haha. I can be a pretty negative guy sometimes. I make an effort not to be, but it still creeps in now and then. This thread though, man, I don't get it. I can see being negative about the industry, sure. But not because… -
Re: EA employee's spouse comments on crunch
It made cnet this morning. I keep refreshing the BBC's tech page. When its hit there you know its mainstream. tpe: I dont think that we will see a statement from EA either internally nor externally on either the 'ea_spouse' story nor the artists class action. To output such a statement would be to admit that there is even… -
Re: Trying Blender
My first application... remember the struggle with 3dsm trial and after this the simplicity of Gus tutorial (modelling, animation and rendering in a our). I move far from blender when discovered Silo and his fast modelling tools (very fast, love roll over mouse action and sticky key) especially the ultrafast cut tool in it… -
Re: 3DS Max Scene - Request Feedback
Looking pretty good. Here are some things I noticed. - The bulb has a wide but thin fillament, so typically the whole thing would not light up evenly, you'd get a burnt white center and then more clear edges. - The folder up front has damaged/burnt top and bottom but pristine along the border. It would be opposite. The… -
Re: Survey: 3D-design user interfaces
Now rather than trying to shoehorn futuristic human interaction tech into already established and optimized pro workflows, I think that a good angle of approach would be : what part of the creation process are currently cumbersome and time consuming, and could be re-invented from the ground up ? The survey mentions… -
Re: Sherlock Holmes - Tower Bridge Recreation (1850's)
Nice work so far on the assets. Well worth continuing the scene after handing it in and use it as a portfolio piece. You don't have to stick to the ultimate realism then and can snatch a few movie tricks. It's all about presentation. Color grading / Time of day: Even though it is more realisitic at the moment, you may… -
Re: portfolio website critique
- Don't rely on DDo so much, it's really, really obvious. This goes like triple for characters. - I'd honestly remove the "mechanic" and "Liz" pieces. They're both in awkward poses and have major flaws. Just replace them at this point. For the future: Look into Aniso for hair, Subdermal/Transparency for skin... Proper… -
Re: Being a 3DSMax Plugin developer today [or why real innovations moved away from max]
What are real innovations in CG today ? What are the recent real evolutions we've seen so far ? -Rendering : Redshift / Octane --> Cross soft with special big point for Eevee --> Blender-Modeling : Polyenstein and Mesh fusion --> Modo equivalent do exist but the innvation did come from modo. -Sculpting : Zbrush --> but see… -
Re: Portfolio WIP
The rocky texture is looking much better in your newer shots. I agree with Kawe, though - some of the materials are starting to look a bit -too- alien. I understand you're going for an alien environment, but people still like to see things they can relate to - when they get too strange, it just emphasizes that the image is… -
Re: Artstation made us numb to art
Technically Vitaly Bulgarov isn't top tier pro because he uses a personal site. How dare he get work over artstation.com users! There are many ways to be noticed. The main issue with the game industry is that its more like the marketing/advertising/entertainment industry than an atelier/arthouse collective where the source…
