Re: Want to get into hand painted textures.
Yes, practice painting anything! Look at certain surfaces or materials, rocks, tree bark, etc. and study how light interacts with them, then try and replicate that. I would also recommend studying color theory and tonal variation. Got this book recently and its awesome:… -
Re: Do you think it's possible to be a skilled 2D and 3D artist at the same time?
Absolutely. It takes time and a lot of the practices. Learning traditional drawing and painting can really help you to be proficient with 3D in my opinion. For example, Mike Stinnett started out as a painter for about 25 years which his paintings are amazing. Now, he makes the 3D sculptures with wood carving. As you can… -
Re: The Death of Curiosity
Ha ! This point about pain tolerance is excellent. Oddly enough after a while this pain almost becomes something to look forward to, because it is synonym of learning something new. I'd go a little further by adding that it needs to be coupled with a good bullshit detector. What I mean by that is, an ability and a… -
Re: [WIP] Concept Vehicle
We are required to come up with a rough schedule at the beginning of the semester of what we will be doing throughout the course. It is kind of a "self exploration" type of course where you can practice a discipline of your choosing (3D modeling, animation, PBR texturing, etc), or choose to learn something new - such as a… -
Re: Objectifying women...
It's unfortunate that the OP had to tie the overreaction to Gav's art with a total dismissal of the issue. So you have people like Haz that people look up to coming in and just mocking the subject, it's a real let down. Really, you can make the kind of art you want, maybe you guys should practice what you preach and not… -

Re: Need Advice
Lmfao YES, I think I found you quoting Ice Cube more amusing than I should of. I agree with what's been said mostly, starting studies in any art form is intimidating because there's such a massive talent pool in each discipline. It's actually quite brutal to become a good artist, it's like you end up thinking you suck… -
Re: use your wiimote with 3dsmax :P
As a precise pointing device the Wii-mote blows ass. As a motion sensing device it does a good enough job, like sensing the difference between an upper cut and a jab, a sword thrust and a block. I would rather hold a ball mouse (that is missing the ball) between my ass cheeks and try to sculpt, than use the Wii-mote. Don't… -
Re: Uni Project...... lots of images...
There are a lot of areas that need work, but I would say the main thing texture wise is your painting methods. Don't paint with such dark colors! Pick the actual tone and hue you want and paint with conviction! Not every shadow should go to black. You are having to cover it up by smudging too much and the textures end up… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (70)
@icegodofhungary That is looking like a great start! Fantastic Blockout! I wished I did that haha. I have decided to do something very simple and straight-forward. I want to practice doing stylized hand painting in PBR with extremely basic sculpting with the aim of finishing it for a class demonstration. Because I do not…
