Re: The problem with current sci-fi art/style
Artists are taught, and I think logically just gravitate towards, thinking in terms of shape and composition. Most of the concept artists designing this stuff, a character for instance, are sketching shapes and silhouette in value. Listen to any gumroad tutorial on character design and concept, and you're going to head a… -
Re: [WIP] P90 For Project Nevada
Well first off, the model you have as it is looks more like a slightly higher resolution version of a lowpoly model, not really a "high poly" model persay. You're going to want to look into sub-d modeling, what most people use for mechanical/hard surface highpoly models. This is a very good thread to start reading through:… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Heart of Gold - JJ
OK, so its beet a while since updating, went to the London Polycount meetup and got some insight into the scene so far. Then went to EGX Rezzed and had a chat with the Creative Assembly artists on the Throne scene and my portfolio in general. And then as of today I met the lead character artist at Lionhead Studios, so… -
Re: Lack of memorable music in games today
I can hum pretty much all of the list I made, I mean how could I have made such a list without remembering the music that made it so? But now we're just adding more parameters into what "memorable" means. As many have mentioned, older game music was a whole lot less complicated than today's music: how many of us can hum an… -
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: Medium prop texturing help
I baked from High to Low in substance, not sure what you umean by UV breaks on the low wherever there are hard edges? If you mean splitting the UV's on the model example above into 3 seperate UV islands then yes I did that :) This is from Sunset Overdrive, the PDF and Video Talk explains that they are just using the… -
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."…
