We go it alone, and we're toast. [/ QUOTE ] I just can't stay away from these threads, so help me... I disagree completely.… -
Re: Should portfolios demonstrate versatility?
most jack of all trades portfolios I have seen tend to have creepy looking characters because the artist hasn't spent all their time focused on learning anatomy or perfecting their skills. on the other hand their environment texture work also tends to be lacking. this is a general observation I am making, not pertaining to… -
Re: Getting that first gig
Thanks everyone for taking time out to reply and give your piece. The sum of all the opinions is anarchy but I guess I expected as much. It turned out to be a really informative thread though and pretty much everyone replying has landed a job so obviously I can't scoff at the advice. So, after mulling it over pretty… -
Re: Specular map question
[ QUOTE ] FatAssasin, for someone with complete disregard for light theory, you are surprisingly absolute in your opinions. [/ QUOTE ] Easy there, big fella. I think we can continue to have an intelligent discussion about this. My whole point is that real world light physics don't apply when talking about how to get a… -
To bake to the model or to bake to a plane
As usual I've psyched myself out. Just to give you the breakdown on what I'm trying to decipher I have this carousel.

The best idea would be to tile this wood as it gives me more uv space for the rest of the asset to be… -

Battlestar Galactica Stealth Fighter WIP
I was planning to avoid posting this until I was finished (or close enough to start looking for polish crit), but then I ran into what seems like a major aesthetic inconsistency in my reference, so I figured I'd fish around for opinions on how to resolve it.
