Yeah that was something that got on my nerves when I was in the US over the summer; how often they jammed the tip on the bill, then like 19% tax on top. Something I didn't understand (which I saw in several restaurants) was that they had a tendency to add some tax to parties of 6 or more. I would have thought it's better…
Cool! might also suggest giving OctaneRender (Prime standalone license) a look, if realistic renders are of an interest? atm I find running a few tests via my laptop a bit tricky i.e. random crashes since it only launches when connected online - F'ing bummer : /
Hey, everyone! Hope all of you are having a good summer lately. I just started a new project that was based on YuQing Wang's concept artwork. I created the block out level to make sure all of the scales fit with the concept artwork's scale of everything. I created three materials for the wall and floor in substance…
I'm really new to 3D Art, but am planning on a career as a game environment artist. So is learning shader languages worth the time? My summer break is coming up and I was thinking that I would spend my time learning a shader language if it would be a great benefit. Any opinions on which language to learn, and where this is…
Hi! My name is Michael and I'm currently finishing up my studies before I go on summer vacation. I'm looking for any kind of paid freelance work in 3D or 2D art. Artstation page below: https://www.artstation.com/artist/michaelhansen I'm mainly focusing on 3D character art but I have a background in 2D concept art, and…
Hello guys! This is my summer project for skills up. I sculpt a little more than a year and the main task was to learn new techniques and to create a more detailed character, regarding my previous works. And also the main task was to have a similarity with the concept art since it's importent for a 3d artist, I think. At…
I saw a thread on here a while back talking about some normal map issues for the Xoliul shader. I checked their site and 2013 max is not supported. I don't know about 3point. I think I'm just gonna go back to 2012 and hope they fix this for 2013. Max 2013 is still in beta no? I'm not sure because I got it back during mid…
The story has nothing to do with it. They want to make MONEY and the quickest/safest way the studios (typically) know how to do that is to take an existing and popular license and throw it up on the screen as either sequel #87 or an edgy new reboot to appeal to a new audience. Occasionally the people they hire to do this…
The problem with the latest Star Trek movies is they don't have the same philosophical underpinning of what came before and defined the IP. The new Star Trek is stripped of what made it special and original, it is now just another summer sequel sci-fi special effects block buster. It's not thoughtful, it's not idealistic,…
Thanks for that feedback inside, I thought I'd be posting this update sooner but Summer kept getting in the way. The extra geometry in the roof's looks much better thanks for that suggestion, I've also redone the plaster texture so it is less noisy/contrasty. I haven't got around to making decals yet, I will do a decal…
