Ive been diving into high poly now for a while teaching myself to model at high quality and I admit I dislike it . Spend a shit load of time cutting in detail that most people won't care about in the end . Doom 3 is a great example once the woe factor wore off on the graphics there wasnt much to the game play and so will…
I think you'll find that coming from the land of characters will help you out in wierd ways. I work pretty close to the way Ror explained, but my enviroments are more organic and have very few buildings or hard edges. For tunnels I create one segment that repeates, I create bones and skin the tunnel (as if it was an arm)…
I'm loving it. Waiting to hear from gamespot on the Gallardo. Already downloaded that first pair of cars from Live. Bought myself a Saturn Sky (couldn't afford the Corvette ) and hunted out and bought myself a Caterham CSR 260 (cause I plan on building a kit car version of one sometime down the road). Haven't done any MP…
You should look for a more mutually beneficial relationship. There is at least a few industry veterans who now host discord learning communities aimed at helping people just like you. Usually they cost very cheap (like the price of coffee once a month), so I think that is a good way to help them help you. I'd drop some…
I'm not a professional, so take my opinion for whatever it's worth, but my view is that you should plan on doing more practice before expecting to get a job. I may have a really skewed perspective though. I think if you take everything you have learned so far and apply it to one or two full environment scenes, trying your…
Thanks for sharing, Kwramm. I've been building a picture folder on my computer filled with pictures of North Korea. It's really an interesting place to me, mostly in that it's the closest place to the old Soviet union currently in existence, as far as I can tell. I've always been really interested in the way that…
So did I at 25. Dude's 25 now. He said he's into a 3 yr program for games. Which game program guarantees a job after grad that doesn't count getting a part-time at Starbucks? Let's factor in game studio history of layoffs. How long do you want to stay or get paid at jr. level? Is OP going to a free/subsidized Euro school?…
Fantastic stuff, @CrazyMoon! I'm envious of your crisp clean edges on her metal bits. Did you end up sticking with zBrush for that stage, or did you clean it up any in Maya / 3DS Max first? Either way it's some fantastic detail you got going on. For her body suit thing do you think you'll end up making it more blue like…
Good stuff. is it from personal projects or are you contributing to some indie or a mod? Environments look solid, maybe except for this one: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LiAuU6CDClE/T47oX0jN60I/AAAAAAAAAdM/MeQUs3j0zyY/s640/Templex1000.png it has nice architecture but perspective is really messy. besides enviro i like this…
So, I'm happy enough with progress I've made towards the goal of learning how to effectively light an enviro that's supposed to just be natural light or only medieval fixtures, etc. Now, on to something a little different. Basically, I'm sick to death of seeing this nonsense in peoples' WIPs: So I'm working on a series of…
