Hmm, maybe i've skipped information. I meant that every tutorial i've watched the mesh is never in tris, like, in the video you can see the topology the entire time and ppl don't tend to triangulate it, then they export it back (mesh still in quads) and the shading looks fantastic. That's why i'm hitting my head against…
lol that slide, oh boy, wow, you could probably get away with the spiciness of it tbh & her feet are made of STEEL, i tell ya! Does bare-feet eventually turn into a rocky type texture irl if you never worn shoes+? That is what this gif made me think, curious if anyone has looked into it before i do. (fantasy game i know…
@AtomicArmy you are welcome. Yes reference is a fantastic tool to plan and especially learn! Most people think artists just pull this stuff out of their head, but we only do that because we are so diligent at learning and absorbing the world and it's best example first. Keep it up!
Hi Fabi_G, Kanga, and Noren. Thank you all for your help, I do appreciate you all taking the time to help out someone who is quite new to all of this and answering some silly questions. I am wanting to become a 3D artist for game development, I am thinking I might try at prop or environment artist so will put…
To add on what Ravanna has mentioned, make sure you pick a particular path as in environment art, characters, props, weapons, etc. You can even take that a step further and focus on fantasy or scifi. There are plenty of triple A studios that focus in one of these categories. As a student myself I have decided to really…
I'm super excited about a lot of the upcoming games for 360. As far as everybody ranting about ps3 graphics being so much better that it's going to make it a better system, I did an interesting "quiz" lately. I took screenshots from Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect and Final Fantasy 13 and placed them all in…
I think a big problem is that story and gameplay are seen as two separate things. Final Fantasy may have complex character relations, but at the end of the day, the gameplay is still about whacking random monsters and could be carried out by totally different characters altogether. Look at some of the classics of gaming.…
Erik the Viking is a great point of reference for more authentic style constructions, Terry Gilliam knows more about history and mythology than most of us put together and tried hard to make things as realistic as possible. That's not to say the production values are realistic by today's standards but it's still a good…
Ships yes. When it arrives is a different story, if it takes a couple extra days to get product distributed in Australia/EU it would make sense that there would be a delay. Anyway maybe I'm wrong, I looked up some release dates after Justin posted and this is what I found: (grouped these by similar days for visibility)…
Congrats, that whole post is redundant, because I AM PAYING... Playstation + is a service that you pay for... ;P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation_%2B#PlayStation_Plus Wish they would give away digital copies with hard copies of games, like with dvds/bds these days... cause sometimes theres collectors editions etc…
