Re: Mari, Texture Painting at 32k!!
32k is a big number for sure - but in practice most movie res work is done using a lot, or rather, a LOT of 2-3K texture pages. One creature might easily have up to 20-50 such texture pages which means many different consequences, like lots and lots of seams. As far as I know it's the preferred method because any operation… -
Re: Galen Davis - Environment Art Portfolio
i went last year and my best advice is just to have fun. dont go there thinking too much about work or jobs, because the other people there you will network with aren't thinking too much about that either. im sure the last thing someone wants to hear there is how badly you want a job in the industry, so try and present… -
Re: Your dream studio?
I work for my dream studio. Sony santa monica is by far the best working experience I could ever dream of outside of working for myself. Everyone is super talented from art to design to programming, the tech is awesome, the games are great, and everyone hold their own. I never have to worry about a weak link in production,… -

Re: Quick go at a cityscape
Got the cars in, threw 'em together super fast, they're not even UV mapped yet and there are some pretty obvious mesh issues. Surprised how good they look so early on though. Not focusing on them, but they added a nice touch and sense of scale, thanks again for the suggestion pliang. Moving forward, just gotta get a couple… -
Re: Programmers: I need your opinions about a change of job
He seems too caught up in being part of the gaming industry. I understand why that may be cool, but given the state of the industry, I'd shy away from gaming for a bit. Maybe he can return to it later. I'd rather get the extra pay to be honest. Especially if he has student loans, or similar finances, to pay off. I can tell… -
Re: Q: What do you do again?
I just say I make computer games. 3D artist is way too confusing for many people. I tell them I program some and do some art like creating the "people" in the game. Most people are satisfied with this. ...the answer is a bit of a stretch but at least I don't have to explain too much. actually I'd agree with them. I'm lucky… -

Re: Studying machinery for hard surface art
Basic manufacturing techniques will give you some ground to stand on. Everything from plate bending, plate punching, arc welding all the way to hydro forming and high pressure injection molding to name a few. If you have the possibility to find manufacturing blueprints you can start figuring out how stuff are built up as… -
Re: Logan likeness
Likeness comes with practice and is pretty much the step up from doing portraits, unfortunately all you can do is practice. Nobody is going to nail their first few likenesses but each time you'll get better and better! For now I wouldn't stress over how close it is to Logan, I'd just worry about making sure the sculpt is…
