Re: Character concept illustrations - Looking for Critique (Preview is squashed)
I like the subject matter - I think the main issues with this are its values and lighting. The shadow cast by various bits of the image don't match to any one light source, and the shadows on all materials - be it grass, metal, or cloth, all get crushed pretty hardcore into obscurity. I think bits of the armor are nice,… -
Re: Diana - LoL Fanart
So this is still happening. Just busy times. I've managed to finish the retopology. Which was a mess and has resulted in a weird mesh. ~28k tris and Im not going to trim it more though I surely could. Enough already! (Unless I've done something really stupid or inefficient somewhere.) UV-map: I separated the hair and… -
Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community Competition #14 - April
@Yatra, That is epic: Sword Fish :D The hook is a great handle. So obvious how could it have not been done before? I think the main issue is the colors. I like the sword fish skin but all his regular weapons are a different color than him. I think if you make the hook really rusty like the original it would help a lot… -
3D Look with flat plane and displacement??
So I came across this amazing piece of the Game of Throne's throne by Phi Liu here on artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/2xLl1Y He created all of the swords in Substance Designer. When I watched the video turn around it showed just a bunch of flat planes that he applied the material to. Now when it rotates and… -
What's the best practice for tweaking animation speeds
Hello everyone! Ok what do I mean? Say, I have a sword attack animation in game. And now the "designer" wants to makes the preparation section shorter (== faster), the actual swing even faster and then the sword should stay in place just for a moment before retracting. So in short: making the animation "snappier". Now… -
Re: Burglarized
I'm like Brian Posehn, I got swords and I sleep in the nude, I'm confident the imagery of a very pale naked dude swinging a sword would be enough to make 99.9% of burglars run the fuck out of my place if stupid enough to break into my place while I was sleeping. Sucks hearing about so much bike theft, one time I was… -
Re: Question regarding your asset building process
In most cases you model first, texture second. If you need some slight variation, e.g. a sword with a red handle and a sword with a green handle, you can use UDK to create that variation for you when you set up your material. (And that's just scratching the surface.) There is indeed a method of creating one "all inclusive"… -
Re: [WIP] Roman Cartoon character
It reminded me a bit of Asterix, although their Romans tend to be a bit less heroic... Your character strikes me as more of a Miles Glorioso than an average troop. You might want to add a horse hair plume to the top of his helmet. The sword seems a bit long for a gladius, although it does have the correct shape (allowing… -
Re: Double trigger Shotty
"I didn't do it from my head, it was a sketch a did a while back"... ??? Razgriz means you should use more reference when designing your stuff... doesn't make sense for a weapon to have two triggers... usually a weapon could have a trigger, and a pump action something er other... when would you ever be able to switch hand… -
Re: I suck at concept art
yeah, i have to agree with everyone else. Spending 2 hours on a concept isnt much time at all. I'm not saying its a good thing, but I'm stoked when i finish a 2d piece in less than 6-8 hours. Granted, if you just wanted to come up with a sword, I would suggest that you start of by doing quick, chicken-scratch thumbnails to…
