Update: August 19th Wow. We have gotten well over 250 applications thus far, and our team size has nearly tripped. Thanks to all the individuals who applied! As a quick update we are no longer looking for a lot of the positions previously listed. However we are still looking for talented environment artists, and 3d…
@Fomori thanks! Sorry I missed your question. I basically created a flat sheet of chain mail in Max and wrap deformed it with a morph target using a free plugin called slideknit http://cghub.com/scripts/view/79/ @Clos323 Thank you! @DWalker thank you for your in depth critique! I think at this stage, I'll most likely work…
The Screen Actors Guild also did pretty major things. Actors and Directors names HAVE to be on the movie posters, they HAVE to be credited (unlike many games), and they basically pushed the star power of the actors as a 'brand'. In the 40's/50's when you went to see a 'Paramount Movie', or a '20th Century Fox Movie' there…
By the sounds of it you didn't fill out the W-8BEN form through your payment info on steam. The UK and the US have a tax treaty so you only have to pay the tax on your earnings in the UK. If you don't fill out the form 30% of the money you made will be paid to the IRS. On my email they said they were filing it on the 15th…
Thanks. Yeah, to make it trough our school you basically have to produce games and 3D every wake hour of the day for two years. About the looseness, I must say I agree with you. It looked structured in the beginning, when I only had 3-4 posts, but it has come to look quite chaotic as I've added more content. I've been…
For starters, focus on basic human anatomy and proportions, and draw through the figure instead of trying to get the outlines perfect. Valve has called the TF2 art direction "stylized realism" and it is influenced by the famous 20th century illustrators. Practice your basics, and just know that there's no shortcut to good.…
... . BANG! 'oh lord! what was that' 'oh nothing, just abhishek taking his life' 'oh okay then'. ahh well, its not that bad, it's not like it was a master piece. yet but its strange, my mudbox meshes never had these weird problems? ahh well. lesson learned. Thanks for pointing it out guys! its much easier to sculpt now:…
IMO Promethea becomes an occultist textbook a couple books in. I loved it at the beginning but then he had to get all obscure and difficult on me. It's like how From Hell hints at being a great thriller, but turns out to be a travelogue of 19th century London ... Marvels is a great one-shot idea for friends who are into…
Creating the environment for Outland 17 has been a fun experience. Though the production of the game has made life quite busy, I have enjoyed every second of it. Working into the wee hours and burning the midnight oil is what every environment artist anticipates. The hard work that everyone on Grenade Tree Games has put in…
'Ello gov'nors, I'm creating a character for my second year project and I'd like to share some WIP in hopes of getting crit to improve my art. I'm creating an African tribal chieftain set in the 17th century who is slowly adopting the pirate life after his enslavement. I'll be updating this thread as I make progress with…
