Re: We should not get paid for making games, it's art after all...
I always found the idea that job applicants have to "care about the company", before they even have seen and experienced the compant from the inside, ridiculous. Most people are applying to dozens, if not more companies. You can't tell me you have a deep care for ALL of them. You may care for one or two particularly… -
Re: Sketchbook: Willow Paquette
I've been away for a little bit doing multiple art tests, but I was also able to do a little work on my hallway. I have been experimenting with using my wall texture in more places around the scene. Normally I would create a few more textures, but I am really trying to see how far I can push things before I feel like I… -
Re: Goomba [Crits&Feedback/WIP]
I think you should get rid of some of the pure blacks in the diffuse, as imo, it just looks like you used burn far too liberally, regardless of whether you actually did or not. The AO that you have seems to be multiplied over everything, which can be fine, but it usually only looks good if it's toned down significantly, or… -
Re: Rocket and Madshock - Doto Workshop
:) here is an the example of sk tail. its a combination of 4 channels: mask1 blue (for metalness effect), mask2 blue (for tinting the spec light to the materials color), mask2 red (for setting specular intensity) and mask2 green (for rimlight intensity). try to use very soft values in the metalness channel and also dont… -
Re: Logitech ClearChat (Next-Gen)
The material definition could use some work. The padding doesn't hold true to the source material, it looks more like a hard plastic then something soft. Some sculpted wrinkles, tearing, and exposed foam could help, as could some strategically placed stitching to reinforce what the material is supposed to be. At the very… -
Re: Comparing wireframe topology in Games compared to Films
I don't know where your information is coming from, but it's not entirely true. Just about every one of the big major visual effects companies uses PRman, and have done for years. Every year Pixar have a PRman usergroup at Siggraph and/or in London and it's rammed full of people. It's true that some people are using Arnold… -
Re: Abandoned Theater - Portfolio Building
Hey John, sounds like you learned a lot from this environment. And that's awesome. If I had one suggestion for your future environments it would be to start your lighting early and really give it a lot of attention. Good lighting can make an average environment look interesting and bad lighting can make a great environment… -
Re: [WIP] Gingerbread House
I agree with Pixelpatron, your execution of artwork is good but it feels like you've really restricted yourself by sticking a bit too close to reality... a gingerbread house itself is easily classified as surreal... why not run with it? I've always found these projects really hard to start... but once you start and have as… -
Re: How to lose sales
Cant answer for Racer but what I'd like to see from a console is ~4xGtx680, 16 core processor and 32gbs of ram and a 1tb ssd. That would do it for me. Atleast for the next 8 or 10 years. Maybe some more hard disk space and even more ram. I don't get why I see so many developers and gamers adopt the 'we don't need better… -
Re: The Owlkar "Warcraft Style"
Oh man, I really love the concept! I have a massive soft spot for owl-related anything really so this gets a thumbs up from me. :) Definitely subscribed to see where you take him further. The idea of using traditional media in the texturing process is an interesting concept...although I don't necessarily see that coming…
