Re: Stuck in a rut. Help me improve!
Honestly I don't even know what a company would hire you to do. As mentioned it's a hodgepodge of mixed skills with no focus. Jack of all trades, master of none. With regards to 3d, The only thing I see about your knowledge of normal mapping skills is that you can press a couple buttons in Crazybump or the Photoshop… -
Re: Drastic difference between high and low meshes
mental ray can be a bit tricky but the main things, try the 'Production' quality setting in the render globals. that will bump up the setting automatically for you. under the quality tab in render globals take a look at your sampling settings. try to bump up the min and max sample levels that controls how much sub sampling… -
Re: How did you learn to create complex UDK materials?
Most of what I learned comes from people I know, and what I learned when I worked at Larian Studios, from the other technical artists there. But mostly, creating complex materials is about logical reasoning: thing of every pixel as a mathematical value, and think about what your operations will do to that value. A helpful… -

Re: Supreme Court ruling on "violent" video games...
Who here played a violent video game, watched a violent movie, or heard lyrics full of swear words before the age of 10? I'm guessing every one of you. How many of you took those influences to heart and carried out the same violence against others in real life, killing and maiming other human beings? I'm guessing none of… -
Re: Massbot's portfolio
i always look at these things as if i'm looking at them at work, and go on immediate first impressions. And first impressions say "good" . Lots of things jump out as improveable, but working off hard instinct as a way to landing a job, two things are foremost in my mind which haven't been covered : 1 - why haven't you… -
Re: Best practice to create good topology
As always, there's an ideal form and then there's real world. And real world is a b*tch! Here's the point: usually you don't just cut your model's edges into tens of vertices to get a smooth curve. You place some key vertices (like in a bezier curve), some creasing (to keep certain edges sharp), and then you hit the… -
Re: WIP - Hand Painted Texturing
I had typed out a badass reply... with all kinds of helpful stuff... but i'll just get to the meat and potatoes of it. my computer sucks... 1. Your tests are all valid, the work doesn't look lazy. If you're trying to solve a problem, focus on that problem... get the information you need, and move on... sounds like you're… -
Re: New game project needs efficient and interesting art style
I worked with both low poly and retopology. Low poly, to me, has similar challenges of pixel art: deceptively complicated. Every vertex counts, every edge matters, and it used to be super clunky to move them around. Retopology might be tricky depending on how you do it. I was always very surprised with 3d coat tools that…
