Re: What made you become an indie? And if you didn't yet, why not?
Programming can be daunting, but like Calabi says, many of the most often used languages are practically the same (C#/XNA, Flash Actionscript, Javascript, Unrealscript are all C-style). With the advent of platforms like Flash, XNA, and Unity, you can probably ramp-up faster than with some of the older style C++ engines.… -
Re: [UV Mapping] What to do when "unfold" doesn't "behave" normally / as expected?
Sorry for the late reply, I've been on a few things and just randomly experimenting, but I want to try and get this confusion sorted out if I can, with the help of the enlightened minds of Polycount! I think I'm just explaining it wrong lol. It might also be that the way I normally unwrap models is a bit counter-intuitive… -
Re: Sati Hartigan - would love a portfolio review
website looks nice, very tasteful navigation and headliner plus nice fonts and everything Characters and website show that you got the artistic vision which is very nice, but its clear that your technical skills are not as far and I would try putting more weight into all these other things to complete your skillset.… -
Re: I don't know who she is.
Ariel. Ariel is tired, but determined. A somewhat beaten doll polishing itself slowly but surely. Ariel is a professional dancer in the East Brannderg District. She's just came off a bad relationship with an ex-boyfriend, someone who was knocking her around for too long, taking avantage of her dream to love and be loved.… -
Re: Hard surface retopo. How you do it?
My workflow for Hard Surface game-based HP modeling: might not be the most efficient way possible (though retopo is definitely an area of a 3D artist's pipeline that I think need more tool innovation, alongside UV'ing...), is to start by just modelling a really solid HP. Where I spend a majority of my time in 3D suite.… -
Re: Developer Diary - Fantasy Side Project
@Polygoblin - Thanks! Only speaking for myself, the balance has been really interesting. We're both pretty busy with our day jobs, and clearly happy with them (Jamie is an AD, I'm a lead), but I think creating our own thing has been something we've wanted to do for a very long time. Personally, it's really hard to match… -
Re: environment uber shader request?
Hi there, here a test I did with both lovely shaders from Brice. The brdf has been assigned to all props on ground while blender one has been used , as expected , for ground. During texturing and maps assignments, I only ended up with same bugs as Hugo anytime I mapped a specular map. Never had the bug dealing with… -
Re: 2D skill levels required for the 3D Artist
I think to a certain extent it really boils down to exactly what your goals are, and what type of work you're doing. To me, it seems much more important for character artists to have a very solid knowledge of 2d, drawing, anatomy etc, than it would for someone who is doing weapons or props for instance. That is not to say… -
Re: [Hand-painted] Douglas Archer
Thanks a lot, guys. I'm really glad that you like it! @oobersli: Thanks, this character was made up by myself so I never really had any intention of actually doing a character from Robin Hood. I prefer to have the freedom of being able to add and change stuff, I'd rather not mess with what's already done well by Disney ;)… -
Re: Recommend me a modelling app
Pior, It's been a few years now since I've used Max at all, so I can't give too many specifics, but for me, most of my frustrations were due to the stack; it just didn't mesh with the way my mind thought of things. As a simple example, the fact that I had to convert a model to an editable poly before changing anything, or…
