Re: tattoo's on characters
I did a bunch of tats for a sports game I worked on - sort of a mix of photo ref and hand painting. You'll be hard pressed to find photos of tattoos on people that aren't either someone's property or shitty reference. I'd say just visit some artists portfolios and learn their sensibilities (placement of key images, how… -
Re: How did you learn to create complex UDK materials?
Most of what I learned comes from people I know, and what I learned when I worked at Larian Studios, from the other technical artists there. But mostly, creating complex materials is about logical reasoning: thing of every pixel as a mathematical value, and think about what your operations will do to that value. A helpful… -
Re: Games Art Student Work
I'll be uploading each stage of my model to what I have of it so far. Stage 1: I quickly did a block out to blueprints of the Gaz Tigr and tried to keep the polycount to a minimum. Stage 2: Focusing on the front of the vehicle I tried to capture the shape of the Headlights and the front bumper. Stage 3: I started indenting… -
Re: GameSalad vs. Stencyl? Others?
A Few people recommended Construct 2, but that seems like a really bad choice to me. I used it for a while a couple years back. It's super easy to make simple 2D games with it, but it has HUGE problems. First, everything operates through HTML5. Desktop games, mobile games, browser games. All of it. And it runs like shit… -
Re: On Why too much help stunts your growth
Plenty of pages here, most of which I skipped. So I'll jump in and blindly say this: A) I was fortunate enough to be raised during the Magic Schoolbus generation that had us taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy. I think it's the best way to learn. A tutorial can show you how to make some edgeloops, but… -
Re: [CE3] Sci-Fi Server Room
@Stromberg90 - Thanks mate, yeah your right I'm least happy with the third floor texture and I'm definatly going to be polishing it up abit. @MaYdaY - Cheers mate, yeah your right about the fog, I'd been leaving it out at the moment as I wasn't quite sure how CryEngine handled fog. Anyway I've quickly played around at… -
Re: an interesting business model
Well like I said that'd be for cheepskates, and would be good incentive I think to pay the normal subscription fee. Doesn't have to be that sever though, could be a transparent overlay that plays while your in game. If you didn't want to pay for a subscription though games could still be purchased outright too. Really,… -
Re: This game WILL rock.
Well I dont have the time to both read and reply to all of the issues raised but I will try and offer a little insight. Yes those mountains were created using terragen then translated onto lower res meshes using displacement. They arent just a billboard image and blend into the playable areas really well. Also all the… -
Re: Help with molded plastic shapes/transitions (weapon modeling)
@FrankPolygon I'm still very new to modeling, I got blender because it was free but also got zbrush after gaining a little experience. To be honest I haven't used any dimensions thus far and completely winged it just having reference imagines in the viewport mainly because that's the way I saw it done by a lot of videos on… -
