Re: [Portfolio] – Ilya Nedyal / Environment, Weapon and Vehicle Artist.
Hey guys thanks again, it looks like my portfolio is quiet popular with all the traffic I'm getting in last days :) soulstice I'm usually fitting my low-poly model into hipoly, sometimes the opposite way. I'm creating a new lowpoly model, and very rare use some of my hi-poly parts to create lowpoly model. Hope that helps… -
Re: What is a "game ready" asset?
Usually when someone hears those words, they have a portfolio full of non-textured zBrush sculpts or renders that aren't using a game engine. Materials are often lacking or missing and the projects in their portfolios seem unfinished. Most game artists are "end to end solutions", meaning places don't hire people just to… -
Re: Serious Games, List of Games/Simulators
"serious games" is what would traditionally be known as "simulators". like flight simulators like MS flight simulator, Il-2 sturmovik, DCS, Falcon 4 and rise of flight. Ground combat simulators like ArmA and VBS, and combat missions. naval combat simulators like dangerous waters and silent hunter series. tank simulators… -
Re: Application Response Time
non replies are the default. Usually the options for your application are toss (pick some bad/mediocre art from deviantart and you know those applications)/ file / forward. Unless a studio is searching desperately for talent, the time till they get back to you is a month. (my personal record: a rejection post-card from… -
Re: Neckband zculpting question

I reimport the LP version exported by Zbrush and… -
Re: Best unbiased rendering engine?
so from my understanding. physically (unbiased) rendering engines generally are a bit easier to operate ? since its rendering is based off of calculated light pathing - though it gives the user less control compared to the biased engines... and in general, takes longer to render a product. while the biased engines allows… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2010 Edition!
try not to fall into the trap of thinking modern guns are "boxy" or easy to model, here's some ideas... Pistols are all about back-end detail as kimono pointed out. You'll never find something that looks mechanically the same as what you have there - the hammer couldn't operate and seeing pistols modelled like that looks… -
Re: life drawing thread
http://www.wattsatelier.com/home.html These guys are using charcoal [pencils],not charcoal sticks....pencils with charcoal. However, Watts Atelier emphasizes holding your charcoal pencil differently then when you hold a regular pencil to write with, so there's still a technique involved.

Re: Choosing right polycount budget. Making some charts?
Hi Alexandr, When somebody asks me such a question then my advice is usually to start with some much smaller projects first. There is no such chart. Every game is unique. That's one of the first things that you learn. The "trick" that you search for is called prototype. There is no better method than to simply try it out.… -
Re: Texture resolutions for movie character. How to fit UVs?
@macke By default, that number is usually 2048, but you can specify the resolution of the texture used if you want, allowing the texel density to be calculated appropriately for different texture sizes but still remain visually consistent. It's very useful in games, and we usually don't need to change that value doing…
