Hey dude, so i gave this a burl. I ended up just using your PSD as it was relatively close. Just a few things i noticed from your initial attempt, the cavity map you where using wasn't doing the texture much justice, so i ran your normal through nDo and got a diffuse map, and replaced your cavity with that. Then really all…
3D art makes me happy. It's so simple, I know. I thought I wanted to work in games and did for a little bit (tiny studio). Then I got laid off and hurt my arm. I took a job doing graphic design since I could still use a mouse despite being unable to use a Wacom. I use the pen in the left and mouse in the right. The pay and…
I agree about always using a tablet instead of mouse. To avoid getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome it's important to keep a good posture while working, but it really helps a lot if you workout. At the very least get a light weight to hold in your hand and rotate your wrist around. Using a keyboard tray that you can adjust the…
Seven years ago today I was 26 and about to start a masters degree in science, majoring in criminal psychology. I had spent the prior six months researching a novel, which I only ever got 27,000 words into, and I was playing Discworld on my Compaq Contura Aero 486/33 notebook. Seven years ago from this year as a whole I…
Hey there! Because i sold my old huion pen display, so i am in need of an replacement of a main monitor. The thing is i am not sure what to look for when it comes down to specification like: "displaying the colours correct (i dont know the term for this [color-correction?])" I intend to work with Zbrush and substance…
Ok so this is quite off topic but I recently got a new k800i and I noticed a strange occurrence! Previously when I put my phones near my speakers I get some static interference noise thingy that makes my speakers go "beep beep beep" etc, I'm sure you know what I'm on about... Anyway with this new phone, it causes my…
So decided that I finally want to try to tackle something with tons of hard surface elements to it, so I figured It was finally time I tried to tackle doing a mecha design. Have done a few thumbnails, want to spend the time developing some concepts and eventually getting around to finishing up a 3d model. Haven't decided…
Hey guys. I just wanted to let folks know that I put together a team of twitch creative streamers for Extra-Life tomorrow. I have 6 total including myself filling up 24 hours doing 4 hour streams each. I hope you guys can stop by and support. EXTRA-LIFE PAGE MY TWITCH PAGE - I'll be streaming from 6am to 10am PST I will be…
Something's been messing up my workflow lately and Ive never seen it before. Up until this week I never had lag in photoshop. I cannot think of anything ive done that could have caused it either, its like it just appeared randomly. the weirdest part is that its ONLY with that one file im working on right now. if Iopen…
So, I start this a few days ago... It's going slow but I hope I can speed it up so I can finish it on time... The concept is basicly as the BattleCast series of skins but somehow more futuristic and darker, gotta figure that out yet... Not always work with sketches before hand, and this time is not an exception, I don't…
