Re: Moving to Austin - Roommates?
Hey welcome to Vigil! I don't need a roomate, but just wanted to give you a heads up on the housing situation. Housing is pretty cheap, you can get very nice 1 bedroom apartments in the 500-700 range. Your options are going to be pretty limited if you don't have transportation, there are only a couple places within walking… -
Re: Tournaments and the workshop
It seems like the only reason why artists would ever want to work with a tournament for a ticket bundle is the perception that the bundled item or set either : 1 - gets in more quickly. 2 - gets in more easily (either thanks to less quality screening, or "priority") 3 - is more (or at least, equally) profitable than a… -
Re: Understanding Cubemaps
... Ok so here's how cubemaps work. You have 6 textures representing the insides of a cube. They exist as a single construct that you access in UDK via a cubemapsampler. To get a color from this cube surface, you need to project a direction into it and see what is at the end. Your viewpoint into the cube always starts at… -

Re: Diablo III house - Handpainting practice
Looking a lot better and I agree time to move on to other things. =) Personally I don't like to get too caught up in putting a lot of polish on things until close to the end. I do this for a few reasons. 1) Speed and ease of detail application. It's easier to remember brush settings and apply the same refining techniques… -
Re: Achieving realism: Handpainting Vs. Photosourcing
1) You grab a premade texture, hit color correction and go. 2) You grab 5 photos and cut these up to create one compleet new texture. 3) Use brushes only to create your texture. 4) Mix techniques Non of these catagories is wrong. They are all applied in good time. May it be because of a deadline, or because it gives the… -

Re: My portfolio is bad, I really need guidance from the pros to motivate my efforts.
Take 3 of the pieces you have, polish the s*** out of them. Then put only these 3 pieces in a folio. Focus: Pick 1 production step you like, e.g. modeling & texturing and 1 technical subject. In your case, this shouldn't be Mental Ray. Pick Unreal, since you've already used it. Use that to present your work. But focus…
