How long does...
A model art test take let's say a prop about: 900 polys 448 texture map 1-bump 1-spec Take to model? I just got a test sent to me and I am really excited about doing my best but I am always worrying about timeframe and competition. With factors of someone completing it quicker and I guess nicer. So I would just like to ask… -
Re: 3d artists - out of a job in the future?
It's coming, just they got the timeframe wrong. Most likely it will be a century for full one button AAA style graphics. But advancements have been made for smaller assets. Consider SpeedTree for instance. I'm sure they will perfect tools that deal with objects that are static and static environments as well. Anything that… -
Re: the un-charming Prince and other wips
awwwww :poly139: yeah, except for Trapjaw the heads are all in a 1-2hr timeframe, it's remarkable how much you can improve (or at least think you can) doing these daily's. With the girl here it was the first time I've tried using zSketching for hair, and while it's pretty rough I think once I get the hang of it that'll be… -
Re: Marcus Dublin Art Spot
Here's a new personal character that I completed in my off time. This particular character was largely inspired by the fantastic character designs featured in the Digital Extremes game called Warframe. The design of the character outfits in that game appeal to me as an artist, and so I couldn't wait to create something… -
Re: Modelling Stretched Fabric
Ah ok thanks for your reply. I had tried the sub d route but only on the original mesh. I found that the results see a bit naff as it was following the topology of the airframe not the underlying wood structure. Perhaps I should dip my toes into sculpting and use a proxy mesh to get those ridges. Thanks again -
Re: Feedback: the Escape, contests/challenges
this large contest was a good choice, since we had plenty of time. i have a job and a family, and i really need a giant timeframe to get things done in my freetime. also the teamwork was very cool, since we were able to create a scene with a bigger scope and therefore a vision. smaller competitions are more to show off the… -
Re: Radeon R9 390 for Maya/Zbrush/AE
Never heard of any issues with the 970 and Maya. The thing to worry about with a new card like the 390x is that there may be some issues initially, but it is also basically an 8GB 290x so you should be cool either way. I personally prefer NVidia, their drivers have been a bit more stable for me, and they seem to be… -
Re: Answered: On 3DS Max 2017
Hi! The Colors tool is currently being worked on by its developer to address compatibility issues with the newest versions of Autodesk toolsets. I have no ETA or any timeframe for a release date, but it is currently being fixed! In the meantime, however, there are many free alternatives. My best advice would be to try… -
Re: Gaming Industry (help)
// I think it is important to ask yourselfs, am i capable of awnsering this question, do i have the experience to really back this up. Reading what other people say it is and reproducing that does not make you a wiseman yet. Build that mind set, create skills and work on them. Meanwhile, take a learning seat and leave the… -
Re: Hawken stuff
That is fantastic work. I love all the details of the pieces in one item, especially the joints. It's the little things that sale the look. I think so far my favorite is the hiefram because of all the small pieces that make up the look, like the bolts and wire mesh on the front. Can't wait to see more.
