This essay is split into two parts. The first part I talk about a method I learned to use in the military to help achieve mission success. In the second part, I break that same methodology down and apply it to the task of learning digital art with the goal of getting a good job in the industry. I apologize for the length.…
I'll echo Bagel and point out scale, composition and level of detail as the main aspects blunting your work. You're pretty good, but these aspects—key in environment art—need further attention here. Buckle up because this post turned out long! Scale, composition, level of detail Their importance lies not only in making the…
I am sorry that this post will be a bit long, as it contains also a small introduction of me as well. I know it should be a separate post but since "I am a TD by trade" came up i felt that i should also introduce myself. Something that should be the first thing to do when i joined your community. No i am not one of those…
I like it, there is a lot of promise coming from this scene. I think its great you're recreating an environment from BioShock. There is much to be learned from using such wonderful reference. Ok lets get down to what will sell this scene as BioShock box art. Table: - Its the center piece of the room yet is letting the…
Great work! It's funny, I actually planned on going on a modeling/texturing spree of some of her weapon work here soon too; one of your daggers and the ram mace were on my list You definitly have the right direction and your modeling skills capture the essence of your concepts, But your textures are lacking to capture that…
Thanks for the detailed and honest feedback Bagel, it's definitely appreciated. Wow a lot to unpack here haha: * The shading issues. Usually this happens with triangles at poles and usually I don't know how to fix it without adding in more geometry which I typically don't want to do for the sake of poly count. I've tried…

I wanted to start the first breakdown with the prop that I started this whole project with. The floor bricks. No two props were created exactly the same way, but there is a definite flow on how I work the asset through the pipeline. Here is a little visual aid to explain how I went about creating the floor bricks.…
Scene Setup and Landscape Workflow in UE4 and World Machine + GeoGlyph 2.0 I tend to go straight into Unreal to begin blocking out an environment like this, as opposed to setting up a fixed camera in Max. I may go more into the reasons why as an addendum to the thread later, but the simple version is this; in my…
Hi Arsh This is what the pack fixes and as you can see each fix is proceeded by the service pack number that fixed the problem: Heres the SP3 fixes only: Added entries in the .ini file to be able to set TCB default values for the different Biped key types (SP 3).
