There is always someone better than you. Always. I did an apprenticeship with Donato Giancola for one summer and he showed me that even a master can feel insecure. He was particularly envious of how (his peer & friend) Greg Manchess was able to paint with 1 stroke creating perfection, while he labored tirelessly layering…
I think the idea makes a lot of sense. I also really like the new concept you posted. The colors on it do a really good job of conveying the ice idea which sort of "frees-up" the rest of the design to showcase other aspects of the character, if you know what I mean. I think the big issue with the original concept you…
Okay well after I tore myself away from the Guild Wars 2 beta. I got a little work done on this. :) Also, I'm on summer break now so I can start cranking a bit harder. Anyway, ONLY THE FINEST OF SCREENCAPS FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE. :D http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab236/littlebigbucket/Spawner_WIP6.png…
I think most of the big motivation killers have been brought up in this thread. I made a huge leap of faith during summer moving back to Vancouver with no job and nothing lined up not because it was the smartest thing to do but i needed a huge life jolt to get out of motivational funk i was in at my previous job. all these…
I wonder how it handles bootcamp (or parallels). Windows isn't retina ready so it might get annoying. Scaling to a non native res sucks. Running half resolution would be a step back from the current 15" hi-res displays. Also, no matte retina display option :( It's cool it's finally out - a machine with retina display. This…
I understand it's your first interview for a job in the industry but I would recommend relaxing a bit. It sounds like you're still pretty nervous("I didnt eat too much and behaved at my best" among other things). Anything could happen, even if the interview went very well. They seem very interested though, At all the…
Was that you last week wearing a tie for the interview and wearing glasses? fullofclovers on PC sits next to me and told me 'Progg' has been messeging me and told me you have an interview for a position at vigil. Haha, small world. I live 2.2 miles from work :D I do have to tell ya it might be hard to find 1 bedroom this…
I didn't quite have time to make drastic changes to the pencil and I feel like a jackass for it when you guys give me all this good feedback. I'll find time soon. I was behind on making this ruler (since I had to redo it completely). This ruler is supposed to be in our CG trailer and will be in a closeup shot so it needs a…
That scene is looking awesomeness! I really like your material definition :) As for workflow I have always build my environments in stages. Like get a solid blockout. Then go through each pieces making a high and then low then baking it. After all the Low polies, normal maps and AOs are in engine I then go and texture…
Thanks man! I started working on this project in june 2013 and I was supposed to finish it in may 2014. However, I had two other projects going on at the same time plus I was taking other classes too, so I didn't complete it until october/novemer. The project consisted in producing an short-film 2-5 minutes long. The…
