Re: Sketchbook: Jos
I was not pleased with the overall look of the hippo (and the stork also, and... and...) , so i started to sculpt a different head.I´m aiming for a more realistic character and also for it to be an "elderly" hippo. The body will also be "upgraded" for the more realistic look, skin sagging on the front legs and all over the… -
Re: More Stable Job Opportunities in 3D Art
I had that similar thought. I was at Adayana, working on Military Training Sims, and moved to Seattle, or Bothell (nearby), with that same thought around that time, to work in games. I'd say as long as you're ready for the jump. Maybe it would be good to specialize in an area in 3D. I was doing some cartoony props and an… -
Re: Misc hard surface stuff
Those look really good, very realistic texturing, kudos there Theres just something on the truck and on the snow mobile, those painted depths totally destroy the illusion for me. On the truck the black shadow spots on the tires and the fake holes on the snowmobile tracks. If you look at the top of the truck alone its… -
Re: Katara "Waterbending Master"
While i think it's kinda cool that you've gone for a more realistic take on the character, and looked at some Inuit women as reference, i think you've pushed too far and lost the essence of the character herself. You've made her head about 50% bigger than it should be, she looks like some sort of goblin as a result. Her… -
Re: Little Cintiq!
j_bradford: yeah I'm inclined to wait and see what happens with the new cintiq tech trickling down into the laptop market in the near future. I'm mostly using Zbrush anyway, and it would probably run pretty good on a tablet pc, being less dependent on a graphics card for 3d acceleration. EQ: my current desktop system at… -
PM M1910 MAXIM feedback - WIP
Hi everybody, everything I made over the past year or so fantasy/medieval so I wanted to pick up an older project, more on the realistic side and finally finish it. I'm kinda at a dead end now, I'm not 100% happy with the look but at the same time don't really know how to continue from here. I really want to push the whole… -
Re: [WIP] Rooster Mech
I'd reccomend possing the chicken with it's knees bent, like in the inspiration design, it's not really like a real chicken has it's legs, but it's more attractive then the legs just being straight, or maybe look at photos of a featherless chicken, and copy the form of the legs from that. Being able to recognize some real… -
Re: Gaea/World Creator workflow
Whether or not you would benefit from using a terrain creation software would really depend on the needs of the project. If you describe what sort of environment your game will have, how the player moves through it, etc., it may be easier to for someone to say if you'd benefit from a tool like that. My hunch is that if you… -
Re: Advice for solving various normal map/edge bake artifacts?
You have started to reach an acceptable level of bevels... if you were examining the weapon up close all the time. But you can double the bevel widths and it'd look better. Some of the areas you could easily go 3x or 4x. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Modeling Right now, it's close to a Realistic level of bevel.… -
Re: Rough ETAs for work?
This is a hard questions to answer. Different studios have different pipelines and tools. For example, are you doing the character from complete scratch? are you using marvelous designer? head scans? All of these weigh in heavily and can drastically affect timeframes. I just finished up a human male character that I got 10…
