Re: Im a 3d artist that wants to be a 2d artist and need advice!
There are no magic things. Any traditional art training is very unspecific, extensive and slow advancing. It may take decades actually .Some people do it quicker and easier not because of proper training but rather natural born ability. Only way to learn is to draw something every day. Starting from simple subjects to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Pinkbox
u jumped straight into the deep end with a full on figure sculpt! i suggest focus on one part of anatomy..eg..torso..or just the head. or maybe just legs. then revert back to pencil and paper and produce study plates from front,profile,3/4,back 3/4 views. (FUN..) either way. these smaller chunks of study will allow you to… -
Re: Scythe - Everyday is speed-scuplt day
think of the end result. If its a 3D game character its most likely going to be viewed in perspective unless is an orthographic3D/2D game(which arent very common these days). Therefore sculpt in perspective and you will get a good idea of what your end result will look like, sculpting in orthographic and then hitting… -
Re: Alex's High Poly Improvement Thread
I am the same way, I remember in my drawing classes and holding the pencil out to visualize the object was always the most challenging part I got to bogged down by the minor details and end up filling the page with 75% of the object When I started the hard surface challenges I barely thought I could do the beginner from… -
Re: Low resolution texture help
I would focus on the angle it's going to be viewed from, and always improve the model relative to that. Currently the hair is too big because it hides the face in that downward angle view. It's better to work at true resolution (128 for you) when painting low-res textures. Usually people start with hard round Airbrush,… -
Re: Choosing gift for 3D artist
The best gifts I have received is a coffee maker, a set of really nice pencils in a roll up bag with a hand sharpener, comic books and a camera bag (which despite liking I never actually use outside my house because don't want to send out a message I have an expensive camera as I may get mugged). So it is mostly things I… -
Re: Help needed please - modeling human
It might surprise you, but judging from this screenshot I would say that you know all you need to know from a technical point of view. It shows that you can create a watertight lopoly model with clean surfaces and no shading artefacts. The rest has nothing to do with 3D (wich is just a tool). You simply need to work on… -
Re: charcoal questions
9x12 is 9"x12", about 22x30cm? A4 size? I'd recommend larger for willow charcoal. As big as you can get, at least double that. If you use your arm more than your wrist then you will get nice loose and smooth curves. Compressed charcoal (a pencil, or just sticks?) will work alright on smaller paper and willow is decent for… -
Re: website...
Yeah, Im reworking those thumbnail pages, and everything else. I frankly have no idea how to build a site without each of those popping up in a new window without using something like iframes or flash. Rick said something about divs, other than what google has told me about them I know nothing. It's funny, but I used to… -
