Not a bad start, the main issue at the moment is timing. Everything is moving at the same time making it look very floaty. I believe it was @slipsius that gave the advice which I am paraphrasing here "Push it further than you are comfortable and then bring it back". The grabbing of the cup can really be pushed for the grab…
Ugh, I hate this 4k push, I would rather watch gameplay in 1080p60 over 4k30. The focus on 4k feels more like following Sony's narrative in order to sell more PS4 Pros, HDR 4k TVs, and 4k Bluray. Still don't understand the need for 4k in the living room unless you have a 80in+ TV and there's still the lack of 4k content to…
You need to push the asset technically. First you have to decide between realistic and stylized. Since you used a photo for textures, I guess you want the former. So for current gen you'd have to look into something like Substance / Quixel Suite to create a realistic wood surface. To just quickly push this particular asset…
Depends on where you work. Some companies have a very crunch-centric culture and some companies would rather push a game's release date than make their employees do overtime, and there are tons of variations in between. Most of the widely publicized problems in the game industry come from a combination of bad management…
Nice model, there's only a few things that I can see that I think can be improved. The texture can use a better range in colors and tone, looking at a bunch of skulls you will notice they go from an off-white to a dark brown. I don't think you should go this light, but you can see some of the porous areas around the eyes…
Great advice from everyone here. But anyway you can always find time:P, just gotta do what works for you. I usually stay home and just do 16mins a day 6 days a week(taking the 7th day off to let your muscles rest n grow i guess). Warm up stretches , 50 push-ups , Barbell squats(start off with regular squats first, and if…
Sorry to be that guy, but sadly the industry does this quite a bit, some studios will just simply not reply with a denial if they choose to go with someone else or no one at all. Sometimes a position's need will just dry up during the hiring process (have seen it more than once) and they will just cease communication with…
Hey man, this is very cool, thanks for making these and sharing these! Custom shaders is one of the things Id really like to see more of in the future. I'm wondering if it would be possible to make your frenel shader work on the diffuse channel so you can multiply black to get black outlines. Better yet, make a toon shader…
What I took away from that session was that provided that you have great foundations, painting skills, and design sense, you then can create something pretty awesome with more tools/options presented. It doesn't mean that the other method is obsolete, it just means it serves as an underpainting/sketch. The difference is…
Wow, this looks really great. I'm seeing it for the first time now and looking through the process is very insightful. I've only had a chance to look through the thread for now. I haven't gotten to the article yet. It may be too late, but I have one piece of input that could be helpful if you every plan on pushing an…
