Re: [WIP] Mobile Super Destroyer
No actual visual concepts, but it does have a concept for what it is and what it's supposed to do. In a nutshell it's a siege defense weapon for destroying very large, slow moving automations. - In this universe the planet is full of a gaseous element that can store both power and information, and the inhabitants use it… -
Re: Altar of Dark Magic, Looking to improve my sculpt
Couple quick points: 1. In comparison to Frannys sculpt yours looks too soft and mushy, without many hard, defined planes for light to bounce against. Would definitely be worth revisiting that IMO. 2. It looks like you're not using any normal map at all in the textured shot as it comes across as incredibly flat. If you are… -
Re: [FINISHED] Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer
Hey, I love this project! heres some feedback you could do about the face: She has a slightly longer and flatter face with more pushed up eyes and eyebrows. the lower part of her jaw bows out and comes into a point (see green arrow) she has very soft transitions from the eyelid to the checkbone, the lower eyebag can be… -
Re: Planning for next GDC (A few necessary questions)
@EarthQuake First of all let me say thank you for taking the time to type such a great repository of information. This will surely be useful to others as well. You answered my questions in full without confusion. I had not really taken too serious of an interest in AirBnB but after researching, that really does seem like… -
Re: When is the perfect time to start doing my portfolio, having in mind that you have a job as well?
Since you've mentioned you have some foundational skills that you need to improve on, it makes sense to carry on with the current job. Get some work history for your CV, improve your soft skills, save up money, treat it as a backup career. You'll want to build up momentum in your 3D in this time so that should you quit,… -
Re: become a senior today
Mrhobo has it. Being a junior, mid-level, or senior has less to do with knowledge and ability regarding the basics of game art and more to do with how well they're able to apply their skills and knowledge. While a junior might have a good understanding of the rules, a senior generally has the experience to know how and… -
Re: UDK Global illumination...no radiosity and light bounces
It's very possible to achieve results that are very close to that image. You just have to make sure that you're understanding the lighting and understand how to 'fake' it if you have to. The type of lighting you see there is usually not even direct sunlight but just global illumination. In the rooms to the left, there are… -
Re: Music You've Made
I fooled around with music production in uni, like 6 years ago and I'm just getting interested again- I have the notion that I'd like to make a game top to bottom by myself.. I had piano lessons when I was young but I didn't get very high in the grades (I opted out of doing them). But I know some basic music theory.. my… -
Re: UDK - Mountain Valley Environment
Your newest shots are really looking great. You shouldn't need to be adding emmissive values to your diffuse textures if lighting is set up properly though. Try going into World Properties and adjusting the Environment Colour and Environment Intensity first of all. As default this is black - nothing should ever be pure… -
Re: [3ds max] flow map creator script - problems
I did a bunch of experimentation with this stuff. A few things I tried: 1) Wrote a tool for max that would push verts on a grid plane and move them away from colliding verts. That gives you a base "flow" around geo (like rocks in a pond) 2) Wrote an external tool that takes a mask image, and generates a 2d flow offset map…
