Really nice art congrats. Have you tried the Top view (ortographic) like old videogames? I dont know, but If a game has the classic feel, the point of view is very important... but it's your decision of course. On another thing. A lot of neogeo games used prerendered sprites, like Strikers 1945 and some of the most techy…
Well, I'm not an early adopter. I just see that there is a use and place for these - The use I get out of my iPod Touch really makes me wish it had a bigger screen :P That's all. I'll probably pick one up when it hits the next gen iteration, and have the disposable cash to spare. I don't get why people are complaining…
Loooong ago there was a game called 7th guest, one of the first prerendered CD games, that spearheaded the use of 3D Studio for videogames. So I pestered a computer-savvy friend until he got me a copy of 3D Studio 2 (and for the younger ones here, that's 3DS 2, not 3DS Max 2. Max is 3D Studio for Windows ie more or less…
I'm going to go ahead and respectfully disagree with SuperFranky. Most 3D artist portfolios I have seen so far base their model on a previously existing concept, mainly because it's not the 3D artists job to design the characters. If he can make this concept art into 3D and make it look better than it does in the actual…
Don't know much about what will be the next-gen PS4/XBoxOne will be. But currently, AO overlayed in Diffuse Maps is cheaper on engines. On my workflow I use it to make the look of the model pop out a bit. And physical based AO on more advanced engines tends to spread AO a lot all over the place and really doesn't cover the…
yeah, everyone at church thinks im the reason their kids suck at school and that im pretty much contributing to the downfall of humanity. Like Ill be at church in a suit with my pretty wife and cute kids and ill get talking with someone about life and whatnot, and they will inevitably ask what I do. "Im a videogame artist,…
that's a spanish short film teaser :), done by http://www.biglazyrobot.com/ (some of them abandoned the videogame industry, from companies like pyro studios). I already posted the link in another thread but nobody said a word :(, the teaser it's pretty old by now. FYI, here you have an interview with JJ Palomo in english:…
Ok, so that thing is made out of a bazillian polies...are those wireframes from a smoothed model? I'm under the assumption this is a model meant for videogames. Your gun has a lot of extra geometry that adds nothing to the silhouette. I'm glad to see that the pieces I mentioned previously do exist, but things thing needs a…
"Video game systems aren't being designed to be conducive to development, creativity, or content. They're being designed to be cheaper for manufacturing. If movie cameras were made that way, you'd have a rebellion in Hollywood. But this isn't Hollywood and it isn't a movie camera; it's a videogame system and the public…
hahah, that's rad. I remember I came home one day to find my 1 year old daughter sitting in my "videogame chair" (an old crazy creek)holding the playstation controller looking at a blank tv screen.She would also like to sit at the computer and wiggle the mouse on the mouse pad and look at the computer all intense, like she…
