Agreed tech doesn't seem to be your problem right now... How do I do terrain? One of 90 different ways. Which is the best for us? Haven't got a clue. I don't know enough about what you want to do. I can suggest my personal favorite and what has been easiest for me but if what you're doing is drastically different than what…
I took the liberty of doing a quick paintover showing the key areas your silhouette is lacking. Basically depending on where this would be seen now close you could get to it you should adjust your polycount based that. I assume this would sit in a table or hang from a hook BUT as this is a presentation piece low poly edges…
@BIGTIMEMASTER Its not the end of the world, but in about six months you will start to see allegorithmic name in a very different way. Allegorithmic was consistently innovating their tools with really useful new features and bug fixes every few months, not even need to mention the good interaction with their customers,…
Alright, finally managed to sit down and send this. I had a bit of work to do beforehand, and lo and behold the weird still-able-to-interact-but-UI-locks-up-and-screen-goes-grey-after-a-while thing reared its ugly head after a crash while loading a texture. Cool. So I sent that off, too. And hey, I absolutely understand…
The Legion of Honor, the De Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences are all really cool if you want fine art and neat science exhibits. If you want to have a bit of science-oriented interactive fun, the Exploratorium is pretty great to spend an hour or two in, as long as it isn't swarming with school children.…
DennisGlowacki, thanks for writing! I'm glad someone noticed :) Thats great that you had a similar idea. My idea was to do things less planned out and more loose. Think of it as a gesture drawing, but instead, as an environment. My biggest concern is how to limit scope initially. I think defining what the project is…
I don't think it really makes any difference, reels are still useful and for me the cleanest and best way to show work off. An online folio is definitely a good idea, but its still leaves some level of interaction of the viewer, which can be unpredictable, so you still have to keep it clean and easy. A reel leaves no doubt…
Yeah they are usally around 2500 or 5000 per semester here in germany. Some like htw Berlin and htw mittweida offer some interactive entertainment courses for free. These schools owned by the state only want a fee between 80 and 250 per semester. You will have some 3d courses but also a lot of scientific and informatic…
the comment about the specularity... I figured you just didn't have a spec/reflection plugged in, but now that i think about it, it wouldn't render correctly if you didn't. hes right about the specular, right now its very plasticy. the metal doesn't look so bad though. As far as interesting things in the texture. hes right…
I feel there will be increasing need for 3D artists, however the popularity of game design courses means there is now a huge oversupply of these artists, which decreases wages. We already know it happens in the VFX industry where people work countless unpaid overtime only to get their studios shut down and out of a job.…
