Lectures at the AI of Washington DC
I've been invited by the Art Institute of DC to give a two part lecture on texturing at the campus. Not sure if we have any students lurking on the board who attend, but I wanted to post about it anyway. I'm excited because each one of these lectures I do gives me more experience for the day I decide to start teaching. The… -
Poop Euro Tour 2005
I got my time off approved and my plane tickets bought. I will be in London to chill with Peppi, Frankie and Firestarter from the 9th of April till the 13th, and then I am going to Paris to chill with mr Pior. I'm super psyched as this will be my first proper visit to Europe. Any polycounters in the area need to meet up… -
Re: [WIP] [Character Art] Aristocrats Witch - Gameready model
It is an adorable concept you have chosen to work from and she looks quite nice right now. I think though that you should push the shapes further to get that bell shape in. The arm puffs seem a bit to large and the stomach and hip aint wide enough. Look at her belt in the concept, and then compare it to yours in the 3/4th… -
Re: Are you using Ambient Occlusion in your material?
Here's a great overview by Hourences on the subject: http://www.hourences.com/tutorials-ue3-texture-optimization/ About halfway down the page he shows filesize of 3 textures with alphas vs 4 textures (the 3 alphas packed into RGB of the 4th image). 1 RGBA appears to take 1366kb, while 1 RGB takes 683kb, so 3x1366 = 4098kb… -
Re: Rock modelling question
I actually often just lasso mask and pull out (Move brush with ALT). Or using transpose move, holding alt, and dragging the last dot, if the surface should be curved. You can eventually sharpen the mask first, if you want a sharper line. Then hammer it wth the TrimSmoothBorder. Does that help in any way? Can we see an… -

Re: Some questions about copyright
How about I create a emoticon using a character from a manga or sth like that? A mangaka can't claim that it's their character since it's not totally looking the same, is it right? If I'm using a emoticon package from the internet and I modify a bit by myself, such as changing the color, adding some details and claim those… -
Re: Kings Harem Part 5 - Design & Balance
Hey Adam, glad to see the 5th release! I'm still on the second one, and you've been really insightful so far. I've seen a fair load of poor gumroad tutorials (from talented artists). But yours deliver precise and useful information. It reminded me a bit of the "Becoming a better artist" workshop on cgsociety in the… -

Re: Japan is getting ROCKED
Well, it could of been a lot worse if it wasn't in Japan. Look at Hatti, its widely thought that if they had even a 5th of Japans building codes and construction methods more people would be alive today. I'm sure Japan will be back up on its feet and teaching us all amazing things about how to minimize earthquake damage.…
