Re: Character WIP - The Patient
Sounds like you got a bum deal but the only way you can be better is to PRACTICE. 3D is just like any other form of art you have to keep doing it to be better, of course you wont be no Ben Mathis on your first attempt because he has been doing it for many years. Many of the techniques and practices he knows without having… -
Re: A mana well
Practice, practice practice. Keep working at it, everyone starts out rough, those that make it stick to it. Justin's been cranking this stuff out for a while now. At some point it will be muscle memory and you'll wake up to finished assets sitting on your desktop like he does. You'll scratch your head and think "elves?"… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Thanks, Joao for that honest response. I feel the same on a lot of what was said…and can really appreciate communicating in a no BS way. On the point about “toxic positivity”: I’ve always been wary of the term. I only first heard it when Concord became a thing, but I fear if it has been co-opted by media personalities;… -
Re: Medium poly Cannon
"WHOA?" you seemed surprised to get a critique. "C&C need please!" ?? .. you deflected my suggestion because your asset was just for "fun and practice" - which is it? i don't want to waste my time giving unwanted criticism. all you have to do is say "not looking for critiques" and you'll get that. if this cannon is the… -
Re: How you learned to paint?
yeah, like several people have said, just practice. Practice and studies. And don't feel bad if you work looks shitty.

One… -
Re: Crap artist can't get job, whines about it
What I do is just ask questions in forums like this, actually USE the advice, and IMPROVE. I've never taken any art classes involving 3d or texturing, nor are they available where I live I don't know anything about the "industry," and I'm still a kid, so I can't give any input about that or classes. Good practice does not… -
Re: Starting to learn to draw, i feel lost from start, how to start.
Yeah, I think I know where you're coming from... A formal environment as opposed to self paced learning at home can also be a bit confronting for a novice therefor in my opinion alongside practical experience, it really depends upon the individual whether he/she is able too absorb instruction without the added 'pressure'… -
Re: [WIP] Serpent Vase
almost ready to wrap this up. Warped the glass noise around the etching and introduced some iridescence/hue shift to the mat, although it's only really noticeable in motion. The surface is also glinty, but this is not a super dramatic effect either. Dressed the scene out more and tweaked mats on a number of things. The… -
Advice and help
Hey guys, So I have began a project for my demo reel, in-between doing other bits. Now since animating I have never done a scene with characters interacting. What best way to practise then a small fight? Gives me chance to practice all the key fundamentals. Now I have only recently picked up Maya and the Body mechanics… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge October 2015 (34)
Yay, this'll be my first Noob Challenge! :) About me: I just finished studying Game Art at Games Academy in Frankfurt. Because we had to learn EVERYTHING that could possibly be needed for game development, I couln't focus on Environment creation as much as I wanted to - so I consider myself an intermediate beginner -> I…
