Re: 2D Art Dump
I have to say that this is some of the best concept work that I have seen in a long time. Personally the two things I especially love is the inherent sense of mystery that a lot of the designs have and on a more concrete level, the mixture of material types. The use of sci-fi style tech grounded with either contemporary… -
Re: Grenades [Hi-poly Cinematics Prop]
presentation, rendering modeling texturing all super nice, well done man but the most important of all is reason. Form follows function, and the grenades definitely seem to not do that. It looks like some random sci-fi-y forms. The same for the wear, it would not occur on many of the places where its apparent, and… -
Re: 1st Person Shooter Art - Phosphor
Poop, I don't like westerns, couldn't you make some sci-fi characters for GUN instead? Western isn't very original. My point is that if he's doing it for a client, his job is to do exactly what they want, how they want it. Period. "Originality" is irrelevant if the client is getting what they're asking for. All Poop and… -
Do you always make a High Poly model?
How often do you guys do a high poly for baking props in environment pieces. If it were me I'd do a high poly piece for something that was a large object, or a key piece to the scene, but lets just say its a basic prop, like a chair or desk or something like that. Would you guys bother with the high to low bake? I was… -
Re: Thoughts on Modern Mech/Suit Design
Ah, I suppose I should have added that. I want to either a) Challenge you guys to come up with some awesome sketches or models showcasing this approach! or b) See some current work that is starting to show this sort of theory being used! I look about at some of this archaic Sci-Fi art with big transistors and LEDs, low res… -
Re: What is your favorite movie of all-time?
My favorite movie of all time? Impossible to just name one, so since you're asking for suggestions I'll just name movies I absolutely loved that you might not have watched. Prince of Persia - New, and for me it's one of the most enjoyable fantasy romps I've seen since... actually it might be the best. Moon - I was… -
Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
That is great news man really glad to hear it! I would recommend on starting with writing a story for your prop. Going back to originality, you want to make sure that you make your prop have that 'WOW factor'. Here is an idea for you to start off with, this does need to be your own vision though. Theme: Sci -Fi/Fantasy.… -
Re: wrapping my head around modular design
Blam! http://www.thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html It's a good read. It has to do with using the grid and knowing geometry basics. Do be aware that your examples and the link provided are all relating to sci fi as the methods behind sci fi are typically modular and grid based anyways. If you look at environments… -
Re: Next! ... Fantasy Book Must Reads
Yeah I prefer sci-fi usually, but here are some fantasy books I've found interesting. The Enginner Trilogy (Devices and Desires, Evil for Evil, The Escapement) by KJ Parker. I don't agree with all the underlying ideas in the series, but it's a nice ready, quite dark though. The Curse of Chalion by Lois Mcmaster Bujold is… -
Re: Any anime fans on the boards?
Definitely consider Stand Alone Complex. The production values for this series are incredible. Any movie by Miyazaki is going to be a good choice. (Nausica: Valley of the Wind, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky) You've already seen Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, so you're already familiar…
