Re: Applying for CMF grant. Exp and opinions?
Yeah part of the requirement for it is written business plan. They actually have very specific guidelines to follow, so that makes things a bit easier there. My wife is Canadian. I think the main stipulation is that we would be employing Canadians. There is a graph and different things give you different points towards an… -
Re: Summer Character Workshop - the SwordMaster
Day 11: FaceTime today... Tried to work on the face a bit today after work. Still trying to catch up to the others. However, something went wrong with the computer.. again. Or rather I think I have not been able to fix it yet. Whenever I tried to move or edit something in the face it started subdividing. It took a long… -
Re: gun texturing advice/help
Looking better to me. The lower part is to be polymer, right? It looks pretty close, but the edge wear marks may be whats throwing me off. Of course plastic can get dinged, but the shiny metal wouldn't be underneath, just more plastic. The magazine -- you have the matte aluminum (*actually, I may be totally wrong about… -
Re: Sci-Fi Assault Rifle
a good model starts with a good concept, and even the best of modelers can't make a bad design look good. sorry to say but that concept looks pretty silly. gun designs should be attractive from the first person view and the one you chose probably looks like a big box instead. if you've never done any sort of highly… -
Re: fantasy character
Not touched this guy since... but I have now started to do a polypaint and experiment with my brushes a little more in R3. I hate that I cant paint specular or exponent however I am enjoying adding bump and rgb at the same time. They also really need the layers to support the vertex colours... I feel a little like I am… -
Re: Being productive with ADD/ADHD/high-functioning autism
Wow, I thought I was the only one who suffered similar! I get the exact same thing; I'm all fired up at the start of a project, busting ass with excitement, then halfway through, motivation starts to wonder off, and it gets to the point where anything other than actually doing the project becomes very tempting and giving… -
Re: Working on handpainted textures!
There's some design issue with you scene, Rafflesia grow in rainforest of the southeastern Asia, Not in swamp, they need really stable ground in order to grow since they are so big and heavy. Also since they are carnivorous plant, they don't need much water, just humidity is enough, you'll definitively never find a… -
Re: Portfolio critique requested
I'm not a veteran by any means, but I'm a CalArts student and they subject us to portfolio reviews often, so hopefully I can help a little. The main thing that comes to mind is that there's not much here. You've got two props and three environments. They're decent works, but there just isn't much to look at. For what is… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
You raise some great points Kevin. I started learning CG back around 2000 or so and one of the things that attracted me to it was that it was such a challenge. There really weren't much in the way of tutorials unless you count help docs. So everything had to be learned from the ground up. It was a great feeling to finally… -
Re: Struggling to break into the industry? Is your folio helping you?
@Michael_Ingrassia Yes, I'm aware that presentation in my portfolio is rather lacking. I've been planning to remake most of my promotional images for a long time, sadly I always ended up too busy with work to handle that. I guess I'll do it after I'm done with my current commision. As for textures, like you wrote they lack…
