I've been modeling the room after the princess' bedroom from Hotel de Soubise in Paris. I made the layout more like an ellipse, to make it more baroque. After all, the name baroque refers to a irregular rough pearl. I tried different variation for the curtains. The back curtain uses a dithered masked opacity so it gets a…
I second Pior's comments. Perhaps the issue isn't so much the work itself, but maybe it's the site design in general? It doesn't really work for an art based forum, thumbnails would be much better, because right now you kinda rely on some attention-grabbing title if you don't already have an established name, and we ain't…
It's pretty i guess... But I didn't like it at all. Took forever to load, not that easy to navigate, I hate auto playing movies. I'm not a fan of the layout. There just too much going on, it's overwhelming. You are trying to showcase your art, not your website skills right? Make navigation simple and streamlined, make only…
Great article! Something like this can be done in Zbrush, just not as easily as in Filter Forge or Substance Designer. Zbrush is not a node-based system, so when you make a sculpt you are making a unique design. But with node-based systems, after you make the node layout you can press a button to make an instant variation…
I don't really have time to go into this very deeply today, but will try to provide some more feedback over the weekend. For the moment, there is a new function in WW that I loaded today with an updated UI for the Nudge Tools in WW. Among them are snapping functions. Those should help with old-school methods of editing…
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Hopefully it works by improving the presentation. The next time I go to town I'll update my blog with a portfolio section, I might try to replicate the ArtStation format, or alternatively just use ArtStation. I tried now to make a jpg only page by editing HTML with my Android LG, but…
The texture looks pretty good so far. I was going to say it looked like it needed some more hue variation, but the Maya view looks like it has a good amount. I don't do a lot of environment art, but I've tried painting a wall texture before and know how tough it is to get the right amount of variety without being…
The home page has no function. Just put that image in the gallery and let it load first. You're also better off by renaming the gallery to 'gallery' rather than 'personal work' because you have no 'paid work' to go with it. You can simply change it to personal/professional once you're allowed to show the professional…
You should tell us software your using for more specific help.(from the image I'm guessing UVmaster in Zbrush) You can unwrap curved islands several ways (again same result, different tools in different software) 3dsmax - you can unfold from strip or peel>straighten>relax internal edges Headus UV Layout - rectilinear tool…
A portfolio is best served when only your strongest work is displayed. I would concentrate it most on your creatures, maybe put them in more interesting poses. The bridge could probably be removed altogether I think because of the inefficient UV usage. It looks like texturing/painting would be your best asset and if you…
