Re: Creating a reel from scratch, what wows employers?
Whatever keeps your art simple to view. If you use Tumblr or Blogspot to host your portfolio, don't put one piece of art per post. Keep it all on one page, like a real portfolio. Check my "Your Portfolio Repels Jobs" article: http://www.jonjones.com/2005/10/07/your-portfolio-repels-jobs/ It still holds up today, but last… -
Re: Why does UDK suck so bad at NMs
It's just part of the grand scheme of getting all that complex stuff to render at decent performance on current gen technology. The uv channel specular thing isn't necessarily related. Normally you never notice about this stuff in any engine, and nobody noticed this when they wrote it probably, as no-one was aware of these… -
Re: Silo 2.3 update
I sort of lost hope with Silo back in 2005 or so, but seems like they put out another update after 2.3 update... I still use it occasionally (It would be nice it they sent out an e-mail... ) Anyway if someone is interested and missed this: Silo 2.3.1 released "A cut tool crash has been fixed" "Windows 64-bit native… -
Re: Unity 3D Make Bullet Destroy on Impact
1. Put this to new unity's javascript file and name it "SimpleBullet" (it is directly from AngryBots example project) 2. Add it to your bullet prefab #pragma strictvar speed : float = 10;var lifeTime : float = 0.5;var dist : float = 10000;private var spawnTime : float = 0.0;private var tr : Transform;function OnEnable ()… -
Re: Air Travel - Do You Bring Your Work?
Ok, so I actually had no problem at all working with my Ativ Book 8 (14.8" x 9.8" x 0.89") and my medium sized Intuos 4 (14.6" x 10" x 0.5"). I was in economy on jetblue, so maybe they have a little more room than other carriers? Either way, it worked out just fine. I did a lot of Zbrush modeling and a little 3ds Max work.… -
Re: Does anyone have any tips or guidance when it comes to rigging?
Do you see the little wrench icon (Weight Tool) ? Use that instead of the Abs. Effect. Since you are just getting started, I recommend as a first pass vertex weighting the entire model using only 1 or 0.5 weighting. This will give you a mostly rigid weighting with just a little bit of blending at the joints. On the second… -
Re: Creating a new office space
I see I see ! Well, you could always get a little picture frame at the dollar store, and frame a quote in it saying something along the lines of "This represents a saving of 10 000 Dollars" :D But then again, I too used to have a desk space with shelves loaded with artsy stuff ... until I realized after a while that it's… -
Re: Smooth foliage like in Breath of the Wild / Europa by Helder Pinto - Mini tutorial
I actually have a parameter in the material setup to darken the leaves towards the center of the tree, but It doesn't look the way I wanted, so I only added a slight darkening. There is also actually a way to fake this ao effect cheaper than dfao. You can take the distance to the center of the x and y component of the… -
Re: Warcraft style Tower
Looks cool so far. Get some lighting in there and a better camera angle. Shameless plug for a little write up on vertex lighting in Maya I did. That type of lighting works great with this style. http://blog.environmentartist.com/?p=205 Textures looks pretty solid so far. The bricks read a bit better than the roof tiles and… -
Re: Dubstep
Come now, someone was bound to say it. I got well and truly fed up with dubstep the first time it was popular back in about 2005. It got played and talked up endlessly on the electronic music radio stations and TV Shows to the detriment of more interesting tracks and artists. True it didn't have the aggressive…
