Re: Help! Looking for a Retopology tool
The Topogun3 tool you're referring to can be considered a localized auto-retopology, or very advanced bridging function. I'd look into those kind of tools to see if anything fits your needs (Scriptspot would be a good place to start if your using 3DSMax). Alternatively, if you're very good at coding and math you could… -
Re: WIP Lies of Locke Lamora Environment
@Pirax You should check out the book from your local library! It’s one of my favorite books that I have ever read. I did want the bridge to steal all the thunder in this shot 😊 The source material opens with a glass bridge and shows you what elderglass is in this world and that is what I tried to capture in this scene. I… -
Re: Maya 2015: Where are the Subdivs?
The Smooth Mesh workflow is basically the same thing, it's what we're all using for sub-d modeling in Maya. It's an inherent property of any polygon mesh (default hotkeys 1,2,3 to toggle off/both/sub-d) Essentially you work on the lowpoly Cage, checking the preview as you go. kodde, lol. OpenSubDiv does do that… -
Re: Salary: Doctor vs cg artist
The local wage for a GP looks to be about $100k with more specialist roles going up from there. The US numbers are considerably higher than that. I don't think you'd ever get those kind of wages in games as an artist. Perhaps in film if you were working in the upper echelons, but you'd be working for a lot of years before… -
Re: Assassins Creed 3
ha so true I played the first AC game for a bit until the game of it was boring. Loved the local and the whole idea of the game. Never got into 2 even though it looks good. Actually really looking forward to this one. Seems like it could be extremely brutal, very Mel Gibson Patriot style. Nice to see a game set in Colonial… -
Re: Iciban's Sketchbook
I like how consistent the rendering is. The soft, local 'omnis' also work well. I'd consider putting more light emphasis on the top of the weapon, the tip of the sword. Also, don't apply light where it's dark, and then overlay it with black gradient. If you look at the hilt, the highlights along each red band should fade… -
Re: Traditional Art - Newbing it up
I think I'll do that. Got a tonne of photos I've taken recently too, so I'm going to try draw them. I'll look into my local art gallery and see if I can find something I like. Plus I'll pop over the G+ and search for those two guys you mentioned. Thanks! One more thing, if anyone has any early works of 2D art, feel free to… -

Re: Interview on Monday, need to relax!
I dont know if this will help you lower your stress, or raise it. But it can definitely help you prepare yourself a little more. Adam did a talk here in Toronto for the local IDGA, and he talks about his interview at Valve. The whole speech is a good listen, but the Valve talk starts around 36:00 if thats what you`re… -
Re: How do I Re-top these Tank Treads?? D:
That refers to the 'real' vertex count after splits from UV seams/hard edges are taken into account. See here: http://tech-artists.org/wiki/Beveling or more locally here: http://polycount.com/discussion/107196/youre-making-me-hard-making-sense-of-hard-edges-uvs-normal-maps-and-vertex-counts#latest if you want a very…
