Re: 3D Character Artist LFW - $15/hr, would like to earn more.
My current rate is $15/hr. Ideally I'd like to earn 50,000 - 55,000 USD/year. One character usually takes me 60-80 hours depending on level of complexity, and how independent I can be without consulting with a senior artist. Basically; I operate fastest if you trust me to work, and leave me alone like a bitcoin server… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
the difference is, i would never put UV seams (lot of 90 degree angles i would use soft edge) like you did in the example here, which pretty much make majority of your workflow not something i can work with entirely. it might be something i would do in rare cases which i am already said many times in teh past. but i would… -
Re: Steve Jobs is dead
His influence goes beyond just having a cool phone - would personal computers be where they are without Apple computer? I think without the Apple II it would of been a slower evolution from the TRS-80 and similar machines. Even companies responding to Apple has been a great force in developing tech - just look at the… -
Re: Japanese Sci-fi / Mecha inspiration needed
Another way to get into this would be to go at it little by little ... Pinterest pages and moodboards like Rekall are great, but nothing beats building one's own list of favorites ! It sure takes time though ... Tackling things chronologically could be interesting too, like starting with 80s OAVs first. Also, I feel like… -
Re: What would you like to know about photogrammetry?
I'd like to know how google got such nice trees using only photogrammetry and what looks like 80% coverage. Is it the computer automatically replacing what it identifies as trees with what I guess would be just a sparse model of a tree/s? edit: oh! I should mention that's a screen from this awesome vidya of how google does… -
Re: Scifi portfolio level, UDK
Maybe it's just that the floorplates are like 2,5 times wider than a character is tall. I like the proportions, but I'm just struggling with the overall scale. I might just try scaling the entire scene down to 80% or something, and playing like that. But then I hit that snag again with UDK's grid. I can't change it, so… -
Re: Let He who cast the first stone
I think a huge part of the argument is these school give all this hype about the amazing job placement and the amazing pay you will recieve upon graduating, and what's the underlying fact is that job placement could be that you are working part-time at Target after graduating. The AI I went to boasted a more than 80% job… -
Re: Normal Maps: Can Somone Explain This "Black Edge" issue
if faces are of the same smoothing group, try to connect them. if not, they must be separated. Poly's at angles that are 80 adn bellow shouldnt be of the same smoothing group. this rule is very general, so it doent apply as well in other area. chamfering key edges helps if you want to make the the same smoothing group.… -
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity
15% of the US infantry are women. I'm willing to wager that's a higher percentage than historical female blade wielding assassins. Yet we don't see any playable female infantry in Call of Duty or Battlefield. The most ruthless cocaine druglord in Florida in the 80's was a female, yet there was no playable female in GTA.… -
Re: Best/innovative RPG games.
FF12's battle & exploration happening in the same map combined with the ability to pretty much program your characters with the Gambit system (cool UI with the curved beams too). Playing JRPGs, about 80% of the time I curse when I'm interrupted by a random battle. I can't really give much opinion on FF13, I borrowed it…
