alright, I'll try to help, I've worked on 5 MMOs as an artist. I do have to say, you sound like you're biting off more than you can chew. I've got a good amount of experience and I'd consider a 2d platformer too complex for a first game. If you've never made a game before, I suggest making a simple block puzzle game like…
First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to look through my portfolio and leave your feedback, I'll be taking all of it into consideration! You've all mentioned some very valid points I need to address. I think there's a decent amount to alter and sometimes that makes things a lot easier :) @Stirls: I think…
I picked up a Surface Pro 3 a couple months ago. There are a few minor things that bug me about it, but so far it's been a fucking magical experience. First, the stuff that bugs me:* There's a tiny bit of lag when using the stylus. However, this has the added benefit of smoothing out lines when painting in Photoshop.…
Some exporters allow you to set a scale when exporting, but I'm not familiar with the one you're using. To expand on what Poopipe said, to reset scale/transforms after you scale it go to...

So the difference between a chrome ball and a rubber ball. Obviously a chrome ball is very mirror like, right? Roughness: It…
EDIT: SOLVED (15 June 2015) So while waiting for a response, I have since fixed my issues, here is what I did... I realised my java installation might have been messed up, so I tried reinstalling it, the online java verification tool gave an error. I restarted my pc and did a couple of windows updates. When it restarted…
I think I figured how to do it. I even captured a video to show you but it's almost a gig heavy so it'd take ages to upload anywhere. D: I'll try to explain (without screenshots for now, sorry), it's almost 2 a.m. so maybe I won't be too clear, IDK if I'll tell the basics too, probably lots of stuff you know but I must be…
Hope this helps, this is my second go at tree flora: These are very preliminary shots and a lot of the leaves could be better rotated and placed, but these shots might actually be more effective in showing how the leaves help fill out the trees. You can compare the flushed out areas with the unfinished ones and see you…
