Re: How can I attract more artists to my game projects?
I imagine there's quite a few newish industry artists who wouldn't mind a couple of hundred dollars extra a month - it's not like game art pays particularly well. The important thing is to be absolutely clear about what you want them to make - indecision can quickly eat up those dollars. Provide placeholders and detailed… -
Re: In desparate need of words of encouragement and advice
I disagree with this bit. Getting in quickly isn't the result of going for what you think will be less saturated or more needed. What's going to get you in quickly is getting good at something an employer wants (and character art is one of those things in demand so not sure why your saying it isn't) while employing a job… -
Re: Streamline Studios shuts down
This is indeed bad news (the company with the hamster/gerbil in the logo, yeah? :P) They had a really impressive folio and client list, economic crap ftl :( I'd imagine most of you guys effected would be able to pick up work fairly quickly tho, and it sounds like the company gave you plenty of forewarning which is better… -
Re: Which method could I use to unwrap a bow?
In newer versions of max, there is a "point to point edge select" option and with it you can use it to quickly cut in seams on the model and then use relax to quickly relax the whole thing. It's like a quick version of pelt mapping.* Planar map the whole object like Haftoof suggested. * In edge mode turn on "point to point… -
Re: WIP Martini Bar
JTerry; Oh I definitely will be building it in UDK, but I just wanted to quickly test the normal so I dropped it into unity and took a screen capture as I know how to do it quickly there. I should definitely start learning udk. Thanks for the heads-up about marmoset as well! TeriyakiStyle; Thanks for the kinds words, I… -
Re: Martinez_Macro_MirrorWeights for MAX 6?
jehuty, You're getting the DLL error because you're using the wrong version of the plug-in with your copy of max. Visit http://sparks.discreet.com for the correct version. Also I recommend the Skin modifier in Max6 and above. If you are working on a game project and are learning skin quickly, don't mess with joint… -

Re: [UE4] C5 galaxy reimagined
Working on a second layer of wall panels for behind the cloth. Because this is gonna be covered with pipes, random equipment etc I'm not making detailed highpoly meshes. Instead I just add some rivets and small panel bevels with NDO and create generic tiling materials with DDO which I can quickly throw on any geometry. And… -
Re: Water Doplets Brush - Substance Painter Physical Paintbrush
You're painting with particles, which aren't all that sophisticated, really - particles collide with your mesh and leave paint behind, and when you paint quickly you're moving the emitter faster than it can spawn particles. In my experience, the masks you get from these brushes are almost never good enough on their own. I… -
Re: Want to improve my lineart
Hi there, do you usually start with line art when drawing? If you are more confident in your value and form, perhaps starting out by blocking those out and then using those to help guide your line art might be a way to help you out. If you take public transport, keeping a small sketchbook around and looking for good…
