German general
I signed up for CGMA realistic character course with Peter Zoppi, as part of my Level Up programme at nDreams Ltd. where I currently work as character artist. I have decided to make this separate thread to have some record of the process, because really, you have to fall in love with the process more than with the outcome,… -
Re: Zbrush for iPad is out
I never tried Nomad Sculpt. I kept putting it off because I didn’t want to pay to demo it. I messed around with the full version of ZBrush for iPad yesterday though, and so far it seems to be just as functional as ZBrush on desktop. Except for ZModeler, which they’re supposedly working on adding still. So far I like it… -
Re: Crowd detection, stage animation and music in layers.
Your goal, deadline and budget is not remotely realistic - have you actually thought about what is required to do what you want at all? Kinect is also inadequate for what you're wanting to achieve. You'll probably need a bespoke system. I mean look at that budget- you need at the very least a musician, an engineer and an… -
Re: [CE] Metroid Prime Gunship WIP
@garriola: Yes, you're right. The metal flakes need to be way smaller. But these are just test renders with no real texture, I just started with the texturing. I'm actually not sure how much I should push the realistic aspect here. If I want to make it super realistic, I have to add tons of tiny details (both texture and… -
Re: Dracula bust
Here is the final textured game res Dracula bust. Hi res sculpt in Zbrush (see earlier post) re-top in Zbrush and Max. Rendered using VRay in Max. The goal with this personal project was to make a stylised, non-photo realistic character. There are no photo sourced textures on this chap. It's all scratch painted. I wanted… -
Re: The Huntress
I would say the face looks great and realistic the way it is. Allot of people seem to think that a typical female is slim with a slim sharp featured face which I think is actually pretty short sighted. There are so many different cultures with so many shapes and sizes and I think more artists should pay attention to that… -
Re: Breaking into the Industry: School Vs Self Taught
True story. Dad of studio owner asks me my age then he goes: "Once you hit 30 it's all downhill from there." 4 years later I was out of the game studiio/AAA level industry. So the point is...nothing. But I think under 30 you're good to start your studio career. Above 30...try to be realistic with your asking salary if you… -
Re: Doom 2016
gnoop, I think you misunderstand some things about pbr. The main thing that defines pbr is the conservation of energy. Anything else is pretty much up for anyone to decide. Usually it involves more realistic image-based reflections/lighting, fresnel, better roughness calculations, more realistic lighting systems, etc. Two… -
Re: Improvement and Advice thread
HI Robert! I think your work is not really working because your 3d model and texture work is not blod enough. By Bold I mean that the felling you give here is not a cartoon handpaint stuff or a realistic one but an in between which is weird. Tell us what you try to achieve and we will be able to give you specific… -
Re: "Wasp"
Thank you so much! For lighting I really like to rely on real life resources, so I try to spend a lot of time learning things like photography and painting. A great book for this is one by James Gurney.…
