Re: Yet another UDK Environment
i like how the compo is coming out. Environment setings create nice depth and silhouetes r poping out which is great. Actually I guess ppl talk firstly about rock formations cauz they have the best contrast situation. Moreover, seen from the dark forest and being against bright sky they create an attractive landmark that… -

The Torcher

Re: zBrush--Dynamesh

Phillip Klevestav
You know him in the videogame art community as PhillipK, the one writing all those amazing tutorials as of late.

And if his desk setup (pictured above) is any indication, he's a… -
