Yeah I recently started looking into art books. The great thing about going to an art school that has a great digital program is that our library has just about every "art of " book there is. I currently have the art of god of war 3 on my desk right now. It is great! Check out this site for reviews.…
Flagaan - I got it from Play.com, but I understand that it is available in the US - I don't know where from though. It arrives in a cool black box - very classy. Brome - Thanks, you're a real fact monkey! Here's Chris from Epic's webpage. There's a whole site dedicated to star wars helmets called.... star wars helmets.com…
For normals on a regular model, you'd Lock the normals prior to separating to prevent that seam across meshes. You can always use Transfer Attributes to correct a separated model from the original "full" copy of the model. Here's a simple example of a sphere with a separated selection on the right: For maintaining…
On more serious note: While I like the overall estetics of the game and the idea of medieval time. I think that overall gameplay looks dull and boring.There is no weight in sword wielding. Zombies are so overdone and to me it doesn't look like a game that is giving anything new. It has been done to death. Reinventing the…
Hey everyone. Out of shame, I wasn't going to post this, since 99.9% of you guys absolutely dwarf my skill when it comes to modelling, but I thought maybe someone out there could possibly learn something. Disregard my sleepy/half intoxicated rambling. Most of the modelling and work in this is very very sloppy, so sorry >_<…
hello... can anybody direct me to a decent tutorial about creating and applying normal maps to lowpoly models?.. for instance, i am building a dwarf character at the moment and i'm about ready to start building his armor set. i have worked in Zbrush before and i know how i would create organic normal maps, but how would…
Global Game Jam Art dump! I was working as the 3d artist for our game jam group. It pushed me a bunch outside my comfort zone and I had to very quickly learn how to do texturing, rigging, and animating. I haven't worked in blender in a little over a year, so my poly modeling was also pretty well stretched. Either way it…
copy + paste Heavy stuff. Probably the right decision to make dom war its own thing. Any Idea who is stepping up to the plate for it? I've often said the prizes are not what makes dominance war and I hope the 'cheated' prize winners take the news well. It's best for the competition orginizers not to have that unnecessary…
All done, though timing is bad since most people won't be paying much attention with the war going on. If you want to give it a go, you can the max file, obj, and layered PSD. Maybe after the war is over some people will give texturing this guy a go. I went in and redid the UVs to make them even more efficient, and managed…
hrmm, Cinefex magazine and Gentle Giant Star Wars busts. I've only just started and acquiring some old issues of Cinefex is gonna cost me a ton of money. Especially those that contain SW and the indiana jones films :/ As for the busts I only have 3 right now, Yellow Clone trooper, Biker Scout, and the clone wars animated…
