Yes I am generally leery of Sony these days. They make some very interesting camera bodies (see: Sony A7) but switch lens mounts/strategies so often (see: DSLR, SLT, E mount, FE mount) that its really hard for me to have long term faith in what they do. Recently they put out as many camera bodies as they do lenses, which…
@almighty_gir you've certainly sparked a debate lol. I'm at Herts Uni along with @almighty_gir and @JLHGameArt on the MA. We're working on our final project and have been assured all year that the main focus of this module is on artwork. Sadly one of the big requirements is the production of a demo reel. Don't get me…
Dataday, I would venture to guess that the diverging opinions about such software restrictions depend on whether or not a given person has been slowed down by such limitations in practice. For instance, besides still not understanding the reasoning behind these restrictions to begin with, I know I am against them in…

Just some paintover ideas Rich: I wouldn't worry about sticking to the original design too closely. It would be interesting to see more original design ideas implemented whilst keeping the theme of the character intact. * Avoid having the fins overlapping joints (elbow). It will make it a pain when it comes to your final…
My dad's pretty amazing. He's 65 in a few weeks. He took up windsurfing in his late 40s, and a couple of years back was windsurfing some of the best surf Hawaii has to offer with top wave-jumpers and surfers a third of his age. He's a wonderful underwater photographer, and keen skier, and a veteran diver. He's always been…

I would actually be pretty surprised if you know what the particular folks I have in mind really believe, and why they believe it. It might be quite different from what you suspect. Or from what I suspect, for that matter. One of the most important things I've learned over the years is how little I know, just how limited…
Here's some more tips for you, cheap but good resources. - Hai Phan's cgcircuit character art courses. (sorry, won't link 'em here, you do that work :) ) Even if you don't model characters he included texturing theory and "best practices" in his lessons. - Alec Moody's 3dmotive/udemy courses, particularly hard surface tank…
