Progress from my W.I.P structure I'm working on, concept by Xuexiang Zhang https://www.artstation.com/artwork/X1ZQR (outstanding work). Just a few clay renders from the base structure, gonna finish this 100% and then I will jump on to filling it with TONS of small props.(Will probably get references from ghibli movies as…
I think from all the post here, there is a sublime message, 3d pays more. There may be some limitations animation wise but it does pay more.Even Studio ghibli has closed.Its just like the olden days tvs and the flat ones we have now. The world is moving forward technology wise, so is animation. I am sticking with 3d then.…
Joe Hissaishi is apparently one of my favorite composers. I didn't realize it until just 'Googling' him. I was like, this sounds like something from a Studio Ghibli film, and then looked him up on Wikipedia and it all became clear... LOL. As for the big reveal, I would stick to something sub marine. The majority of the…
Lots of my favourite childhood movies already mentioned! I first saw this on TV in the Uk when I was maybe seven or eight and I had no idea what it was, only that it was amazing. It wasn't until maybe 10 years later that I actually found out what it was called: Definitely one of the greatest adventure movies ever and…
Thank you! When I first started this project I was debating whether to expand it to the whole shot or keep it as a tight angle. In the end I stuck with my initial intention of a quick and fun project to pump out. The wide shot didn't have enough variety for me to want to pursue it, but I am keeping an eye out for other…
Literally all of the Ghibli Movies. All of them. Even the ones Miyazaiki didn't make are great. Go watch them now. In addition, watch Neon Gensis Evangelion (watch the TV show before the remake movies imo) its fantastic, in depth and psychological. Also badass mechs n explosions. Ghost in the Shell is great too, one of the…
Yeah, I started with this one way back (about 2 years ago!) when I didn't even knew how to properly UV unwrap properly. I'm aware about the ropes issue, but there were a few things broken under the hood to fix it. And the project was just collecting dust and making me depressed. On the bright side, I managed to learn a lot…
ah studio ghibli.. how much would i love to have the ability to import dds into unreal for airborn... manipulating mipmaps is a thing i experienced in some productions, the best approach was to use them to increse certain details over distance and remove smal details, so in an RTS Title is removed fine sand structures but…
Too much real, need moar fun. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts Okami...still looks good to me(though most the screens I can find are low rez). Not Game art, but Studio Ghibli stuff usually does the trick, they have the most amazing painted backgrounds: WoW I think I generally get inspired more by movies, cartoons and books…
Heh, I wouldn't worry about drawing from your head so much - it's a myth the best work without reference. If you're more comfortable having a ton of photos to reference from, you're not alone - The Dinotopia Guy loves his reference and I know Ghibli artists who swear by youtube and their iPhone camera. Print it out, pin it…
