Re: [WIP] [UE4] Ship Docks
The rope is apart of the wood pole/support object, in the picture its the cylindrical object. I understand if there multiple seperate objects they usually dont need to be on the same texture map unless space is an issue. But your definitely right about the tiling thing being very noticeable, you cant see in the picture,… -
Re: First Art Test questions...
Companies are usually pretty lenient...but in this type industry a due date is usually a deadline... which is a reflection on work habits. Excuses really don't matter (not meaning this harsh... it's just the truth). It always sucks when something like this happens, honestly I couldn't say one way or the other. If they have… -
Re: Are macbooks good for 3d
Your thread title doesn't really reflect what you are looking for. You say its for 3d and then in your post you say its concept art. So I guess you block out in 3d and then paint over. Anyways, getting that thing is not really a good idea in my opinion. These devices rarely comes with enough memory and good video card… -
Re: ZBrush - seams, while tiling.
So, here's a question, are your square uv's before displacement inbetween 0-1? I usually use the regular zbrush plane for this. Are you using the wrap mode to sculpt? If you are go to transform and select only Z axis to sculpt, some of the brushes wont work that way. I usually do whatever sculpt I want, get the… -
Re: Monthly Art Challenge June 2016 (41)
if your architecture was scaled to dwarf proportions, it would be hard to tell they were dwarfs, i would only recommend that for chibi/super deformed styles, like Bravely Default. fantasy architecture should be large enough to fit the player's camera, and railings should be higher than the center of mass of a character, or… -
Re: Art Style Guides
We have some style guides here. Not specifically those games though. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Art_Bible Panupat is right, this is how it usually works for external art teams. Sometimes you'll get an art guide from the Art Director, but usually it's just a list of specs to match, plus some screenshots, maybe an… -
Re: What are normal freelance rates?
This is according to a famous artist I took part in his workshop. He said he usually bill clients in $$$/day. So that leaves some room to wiggle and add more when clients want fixes or changes. To a lesser extend he'd charge per-item too and that way he'd get paid equally whether he spent 2 days or 3 weeks to finish that… -
Re: Is the game industry bloated with developers?
I think the correct word to be used is this industry have very high standard for a entry level position, if you can't reach that level you will not be useful to the company. "Normal" companies usually have all kinds of jobs someone with little skill can do which is why they are able to hire people they think will be good… -
Re: Freelance + Do own taxes = ?
get an accountant. any decent accountant should have good experience with self-employed personal tax. if all you are doing is full freelance then thats all it is. freelance artists' tax isnt any different for other self-exployed. if the accountant doesnt have experience with schedule C(usually for self-employed) then dont… -
Re: Katana low-poly
Thank you! I agree with you, the blade is too glossy. The metal itself is not very glossy due to the sharpening and the metal structure itself, however the blade is usually polished and oiled which adds a second glossy layer. It's a bit tricky to find the sweet spot. If I make it too rough it looks like an aluminium…
