Re: Help Needed to Move Forward
@PixelMasher I want to start off by saying thank you. I honestly didn't know if anyone would read this. I also appreciate your frankness and the shear amount of detail you went into with your answers. I took a while to really reevaluate myself and to make sure that this is what I wanted to do. To my relief, it is. I am… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
O boi, here we go: - People overuse the word "art" and "artist" for everything because it sounds better than "drawing" or "painter" and end up trivializing it. - 90% of videogame schools right now are a excuse to be able to say that you are studying something, while you could be learning more if you hadn't the comfort of a… -
Re: help pick out my 'best' work
Some honest feedback: I think these days, a 3d artist needs to be able to deliver both modeling and texturing abilities. It's often money lost to a company if they have to hire 2 artists to do what really should be a 1 man job. So I do feel that you're limiting your chances of making an impression of you're simply showing… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (89)
Well played around a bit more with lights, fog, and with some decals to add some more visual noise and variation. @Jammilburn I tried! messed around with the values and just gave up, made a quick gradient texture and using some polygons just made some fake light shafts! honestly I don't dislike the end result. I'm not in… -
Re: most games are not becoming better!!!!
Because as mentioned, there was also the PC-generation that was dominant before the console-generation hit big. But at the same time we got even more games that focus on being hardcore such as the souls series and monster hunter, and we have games that drive storytelling in ways that old games never even attempted like the… -
Re: Lightning advice
I think the "why" of choosing lighting is normally just about composition. Where do you want to create contrast and draw attention, etc. But once you've determined the light sources in your scene, you have a pretty solid idea what to do. I'm no expert so my explanation might not be 100% correct, but I'll give it a shot: In… -
Re: Gnomon vs Self-taught
Sounds like you just want to be with like minded people. Check out local meetsups. Not sure where you live but Check and see if you have any local community colleges in the area and attend a class that is relevant to the industry, you'll make friends etc.. I thought I really wanted to go to a college for this stuff but… -
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 CG Teaser is out
I've been a lurker here for quite a few years. Amazing forum. I just happened across this thread today and thought I would try and cast away peoples fears about scanning. Hi, my name is Lee, I designed this single shot capture system at IR. Just to make a few things clear. There is an incredible amount of artistry behind… -
Re: Sketchbook:Kanible

Re: This hydrant look familiar to anyone? :P
This also means that the piece is inverted (wrong facing) and sometimes won't render correctly when using Mental Ray. I forget if you're using 3dsmax or not, but if you are, you can go: UVW editor window > Face Mode > Select > Select Inverted Faces. This will highlight the faces that need to be flipped. Common causes of…
