Currently touching up a tree-house environment, done for a past old bi-monthly entry. Brought it over to Unreal. Working on increasing overall fidelity. Fleshed out the back side of the house/island some more. Updated the Artstation project with a short turnaround video: Tree House. I want to break out and polish those…
@Ashervisalis - so should I spent every walking minute on it? Sorry was confused by what you meant. The company told me to spend a normal day on it and in 8 hours, not 20... do people go crazy spending along time on it? No retopo is needed in the test and I'm allowed to use whatever painting software I like But thanks you…
Played the first couple hours at a buddys house on ps4 last night. Super gorgeous game, especially the prauge hub. some things break down when you really look at them, but the materials and lighting are fantastic. Only downside I noticed is the controls are a bit janky, aiming and gunplay is good, definitely better than…
thanks guys Ive just about gotten used to the shortcuts now, they really shouldn't have changed it without at least offering an option to use the legacy mac 2014 keyboard layout. Ive still got other bugs like my mouse seems to keep moving an object for about half a second after Ive let go of the house button! really screws…
You kept the muted colors of the concept art, but brought in much more saturated foliage so the house seems extra dull/grey in comparison. I'd try making the house a bit more saturated or dulling the foliage to match the concept. The house could also use a bit more of the gardening and plants of the concept, feels less…
First live drawing class : ). Next time I'm definitely bringing my paints. We took a break every 30 minutes and the model stayed in the same pose after the warm ups. Was really tired afterwards bc I stayed out of the house all day, but took notes for tomorrow. Also, gonna try to go every week when I can. 1 minute warmups…
Hope everyone is having a great holiday, and had a nice Christmas! I've not been on here much because I moved house recently and am still unpacking, and then worked some pretty gruelling hours at work... and also due to making art. A lot isn't worth showing yet - but I also made a resolution to finish this older piece that…
Thanks for the ecouragement! Had a little set back today, lightning struck something close to my house and blew out the phone line. I only got a few hours of modeling in because I feared for my poor computer's safety. I'll see if I can upload anything when I get home tonight. I also didn't realize that Sunday was Easter, I…
This is pretty silly Vig. Do they not understand the lost hours from your machine being out of action? It just makes zero economic sense. Chalk this one up to an experience sure. But next time they need some serious rendering done, you have to explain implicitly the consequences. If they can't afford a render farm, or even…
