I haven't posted anything in a while so here's something I've wondered about the way people give feedback. So you see someone's work and you comment on it. What goes through your head to decide what to say? * Do you have a list of criteria that you look out for? (e.g. accuracy, lighting, material definition etc.) * Do you…
Hello, I've been working on a character from a design by Peter de Seve, the Duchess of Whimsy, and I really have no idea how I should do the plume thingy on the top of her head. I figured I would just do it in Zbrush then bring it into Maya but that was before I learnt about the need to retopologize, and considering I…
Hi. Maybe this is a little weird asking. Im having a hard time being creative with hard surface sci fi stuff that doesent exist. I love hard surface moddeling and i love sci fi stuff. I can have a cool general idea of a weapon, a mini scene or a vehicle, but i cant figure out how i will have the details, joints etc look…
How would I go about creating a terrain textures of various different substances/textures...Say I want a river running through grassland, there would be a shift in texture when it gets to the side of the river bed and underneath that. At the moment i can only create a texture which looks tiled and cant work out how to…
Hi all :D I'm learning (well atleast trying to) 3D and creating games on my own for a while now and I had the same situation over and over again: 1. watch tutorial, be crazily motivated, starting a project following the tutorial 2. during working on the own project finding some unexpexted issues/errors/whatever 3. Trying…
Hey guys recently I got into making hats for new Unreal Tournament. I feel that I can model, bake and texture. I struggle with concepting. I know it's really hard topic and some people work as a concept artists full time so it's not something you can just pick up in matter of days. I would like to ask you how to work on…
I guess that where those two girls got the idea from. OnTopic: Well, asking a daft question will get you daft answers mate, I mean how can ANYONE know how many people about of the 6-7 billion in the world use what-what. I mean bloody hell, you could have estimated it, or asked us how many people have sex at any given…
How should I resolve this geometry to avoid pinching after smoothing? I can't seem to figiure out where should I put additional edge loops without ruining the shape of the object. Probably would've been just faster to dynamesh it in zbrush and boolean the hole, but I'd like to understand what to do in this situation…
I have a question and it would be great if some senior artists in the industry could show me how they work and their opinion on this subject. For example, if you get a concept art of a control room from the 80s with many props like radio, computer, control panel, etc. Are you gonna do research and reference exactly the…
Hi all. Sorry My first post is another 'asker.' Anyway I'm Snacuum and although I'd rather be in design I'm working on my art skills. I'm completing an old challenge model from a year ago and I've gotten to the stage where I have baked my normal maps and given a slight pass of AO for my character model. My issue is the…
