i used to concentrate solely on character art. I have to say that i've been seeing more and more stuff like this and it's getting me more and more into envioronment art. Really like this piece. I would have to agree with Perna though. I think the shadows should be a little bit darker. I'm not knocking the Diablo 3 art…
Here are some of my old favs. I would post some REALLY old favs, but my cd drives arent working and i cant transfer nothing. 1999, When i first got into photoshop painting. 2003, based from a drawing I made being in a bar for the first time. I think it explained how much i hated being there. Twas an intersting process for…
Still friends with my old team at Rage Sheffield. Even though the studio shut down years ago, we still all speak on a private forum. Went to the lead programmer's wedding last year. Didn't really get in with the guys at Criterion Derby, as I was the only artist, and lived too far away. 1 hour 45 minute communte doesn't…
Keep in mind that this is a year-old footage that was done as a proof of concept. It's probably cheaper to do an all CG version instead of trying to film parts of it, especially in 3D. But the director said in a recent interview that they're shooting with 3D cameras of their own design and that some of them are capable of…
I was going to write something on the topic as another article for my site but thought I'd get a conversation on the topic going here first. Chris (Holden) had some good insight on the subject and I really want to think what others think. There's this certain sense of disbelief thats always shrouded over a videogame. You -…
I recently got 3D Coat and decided to try it out on this old model! Trying to find a nice balance between realism and stylization that works with this model, PBR rendering and a 2k texture limit. I was too lazy to re-UV and re-bake so I just rolled with what I had. I'm having quite a bit of fun with this program! Material…
Those two tablets I mentioned are pretty old, not touch screens, just pen input. If you use sketchbook pro as your main painting/drawing app then screen res shouldn't be too much of an issue as it's UI seems to be pretty minimal from what I've seen. Tablet pcs are really easy to draw on, but their screen size is fairly…
You're ignoring Noodles point, that China puts journalists/religious leaders/people that speak out against the government in jail too; which is my question too. Not that playing WoW is that bad, but yeah I don't really approve of the plastic pipes bit. And yeah this is a pretty old story. To be honest I'm more concerned…
holy cow, im in desperate need of help here... im building my lighting in medium setup, lightmass on. have a lm importance volume wrapped around my scene, so its all good. but whenever i build the lighing, i get this: wtf is wrong? i dont know if a) there are way too many shadowmaps; b) my pc is way too old and cant handle…
Wow. Time to reminisce. I saw the original GWAR show back oh, 15 freaking years ago. OMFGWTFH!!! Okay, you know what would happen if Jim Henson and S. Clay Wilson had dropped acid while listening to Black Sabbath? GWAR. Mind-bendingly funny. And this was the old days, when the lead guy had the hydraulic penis that extended…
