Re: Need Improvement : Techniques?
Maybe try thinking in levels of detail. A good mix of shape and detail is important to a visually appealing asset. For example, first you think about all the big shapes and get it looking interesting and balanced, good silhouette, maybe a mix of smooth and angled shapes, etc. It sounds like you feel you've got this part… -
Re: Sketchbook: Skiwan
Thanks for the kind words, glad you like em, personally I find it really hard to find color palettes I like!

In-fact I am already on day 3 :x Some designs I will spend hours on (like the first one… -
Re: Environment Art Test
erik- looking good but i dont think your done, i think your nearly there. personaaly i think theres a few thinks to tighten it up. 1-way too clean- you have wear and tear in the scene but its a bit too consistant, to solidify the scene you need another texture or decal pass, add a blend decal to the bottom of the wall… -
Re: Free Maya/max cgfx/fx Shader
Hi there @ WipeEout: Alpha testing is mandatory, Maya doesn't support sorting of transparent object. It's been discussed here already: I could activate alpha blending in a separate technique but you would need to split the mesh down so that the sorting is properly done per object. Sorry for the lack of support these days,… -
Re: Wipeout games PHYSICS
Having worked on the physics for a racing game over the past 18 months, I think I've got a good idea how they did it. Raycasting, from a single point around the nose of the ship, VERY high frequency (minimum 50-60Hz, better off with a single cast going for 100 if you can). Smooth Sphere Collisions is an option in Unity… -
Re: Portfolio Review for 3D Environment and Props Artist in games.
Your garage environment is a reasonable first effort for a self-taught artist. There are a variety of different considerations to make when presenting your work, but when showcasing an environment, lighting and composition are very important. Most artists will acknowledge that reference gathering is a crucial first step to… -
Re: [Photoshop CS4] Scripting book?
Update! I did the following points : - could have it read the group names, for custom groups: #name, #diffuse, #spec, or #d, #s, etc ----> basically the texture type doesn't mind. I will read the group name and keep the first 4 letters for the file name. - allow for individual saving of groups. ----> this is the problem...… -
Re: How do Animation Studios texture?
1. I'm not sure I fully understand the question but I'll write some stuff anyway :) . Companies like Pixar and Dreamworks will paint textures to achieve a cartoony look. It used to be much more common to use procedural shaders that are evaluated at render time rather than textures. These saved on memory and disk storage,… -
Re: Graduate portfolio
I'm gonna chime in here too with some stuff, as well as some advice since you mentioned the advertisement industry as well. I'll apologize in advance for it being a bit all over the place. I think it's smart that you are thinking of something beyond just games. I think too many students zero in too much on the game… -
