Re: Why I Hate Demo Reels
@almighty_gir - I honestly think thats where a ton of this stems from, and the overall misconception that 'all' studios want it. While Henning's article is great advice, he's a film/vfx guy...and really, most counterpoints are. Most success stories and advice on 'how to make a reel' is for film, most courses are an… -
Re: Need a tutorial on jets
I'd say that for a block you could go a few steps back; keep your shapes' topology as simple as possible, doesn't have to be a continuos mesh either; you can use a separate elongated sphere for the "window" for example, clipping the mainframe. Using those contours, when they properly align with the blueprint/reference, to… -
Re: Old_restroom_UDK
Looking good sofar, but here's a few comments: Firstly, why are your tiles all different kinds of sizes? It would seem a lot more natural to me that the tiles are all the same size (standard). Secondly, make sure your tiles are arranged in the same pattern. The wall tiles at the window for example, it's a bit weird that… -
Re: starfield in maya
Use a directional light for the sun. http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/maya2012/en_us/index.html?url=files/Create__Lights__Directional_Light.htm,topicNumber=d28e567245 If the backsides are too dark, for example if there are nebulae or other light sources nearby, then duplicate the sun and rotate it 180 degrees and… -
Re: [portfolio] Nervouspixels- Env Artist
Think of it this way. Imagine I'm an art director at Super Awesome Game Studio. I'm sitting on my couch watching tv, browsing the web on my ipad. A friend sends me an email "hey, check out this guy's portfolio". So I click the link, and cant view your page because it's in flash. So, I'm like "ah, I'll check it out later."… -
Re: Texture - Generic Rock to Black Rock
You should just be able to do some adjustments and stuff. Heres a quick example: If you want it to look like a much different type of rock then you could try mixing a couple rocks together or find something that is more along the lines of what you want. If you want some more localized things like moss you can just find… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | October - November
@Zeozen There is some interpretation allowed, like for example that concept isn't colored so you're welcome to whatever color schemes you want, or certain things in a concept don't translate well, or if you want to go for a more simplistic texture scheme instead of replicating real-life materials. Generally I think it's… -
Re: [Portfolio] Elliott McSherry, Environment Artist
I really like it, the art in it self is well made and works really well, you might want to balance the lighting a bit, a good idea is to balance it like they do in a lot of movies these days, where you have either over or under exposure, basicly either having lots of details in the lighter colors or in the darker colors,… -
Re: Tournament Ticket Item Bundles - Discussion
^^This. Would solve a problem in no time. Seriously $300 prize pool is like a scam to earn on cosmetic sales bundle with ticket. I could make a $300 price pool tournament and bundle my set with it haha... I see such logic here. Maybe it should be some triers for example. <$1,000 single item <$3,000 HUD <$5,000 Ward… -
Re: BAKING PROBLEM!
I've never used Maya for this, but does it have a projection cage? I think you're right to question why no other (glaringly obvious) information was coming through in your normal map, I did a quick test to make sure I was sane and sure enough, you should be seeing some sort of "smoothed" corners. Obviously not going to…
