Hey I'm looking for a critique on an animation set before I really go into polish phase, (image is just to catch the eye btw). Things about the character: The shoulder flap has a blend shape that's driven by the shoulder bone, when it comes time to export I'll probably bake and edit it because I know there's some…
Hello world! I'm fairly new to Xnormal but have been impressed with it so far; however, there is one issue that I keep running into. When baking onto a low poly object, the bake will catch anything sticking above the low-poly mesh (in the normal direction) but completely ignores anything under the mesh. Thus, if I wanted…
Well there are multiple parts to this: A. Custom mesh normals as in anything but a completely averaged mesh. Simply having edges set as hard qualifies as "custom" so if you're exporting straight from blender and into a game engine that is an issue. B. Exporting not only normals but also tangents and bi-normals is a very…
I applied at Backflip Studios for the position of 3D Character artist on Dragonvale World about 10 days ago. I did get a screening call setup with the art director, but without even starting into that he pretty much let me know that they were looking for someone mid-senior experience for the position. He did say that he…
Loving this but I believe the muddy colors get in the way. Don't make skin just darker brown in the shadows - it moves towards red due to subsurface scattering. Most shadows on skin are slightly glowing red and there is a clear red subsurface band along the shadow terminator. You can research but let me know if you'd like…
Yeah that movie gave an odd impression for sure but I am talking more about art style the games pretended to be "photo real" starts to give you. Certain detail fatigue you eyes are getting . I blame too much of procedural approach and increased sampling in PBR shaders. Few years ago the shaders looked like what Substance…

Universities offering to teach students how to be game developers is a growing trend. But Not all schools are going to offer programs that teach the right stuff, the right way. I get up on my Guildhall soapbox regularly. I'm there again. I want you guys to see the trailers that the two teams of graduating students (Summer…
Well, I don’t see a problem with anyone who is posting their art. And there’s essentially no hard distinction between 3D Showcase and Digital Sketchbooks. It’s up to the poster to choose which they’d prefer.
