LEGO FORZA!!! As someone who's been making digital LEGO game art as a hobby since 2003, I am hardcore geeking out over this (thisismyfetish.gif). Would love to hear other Polycounter's thoughts! They released some behind the scenes videos and I went through and harvested all the relevant screenshots for a breakdown thread:…
It seems like nobody has the balls to go all out Steampunk, it always has to be mixed with magic or fantasy. I think the fact that the genre has been overtaken by goths sort of muddies the water a bit as well. and I just found out Lego is doing a steampunk line: http://io9.com/holy-lego-is-making-a-steampunk-line-496044951
Hey guys- I wanted to share the second "chimera" in my lineup! The gargoyle. I approached this one differently, working with level 52 studios instead of ownage on it. They're offering me the chance to pay up front for the 3dprint/ cut and key/ mold and then pay per cast, so I'll be able to offer this one without the…
@Zer0Naught The blue lights are meant to be coming from some small emissive elements on the wall panels but the lighting is overpowering them, will dial up the brightness on the emissive and down on the point lights The wall panels all share the same page with a baked normal map and a tileable base I've added to for subtle…
20k is fairly low for this kind of vehicle. It'd be fine for a taxi or what not, or maybe LOD1 or soemthing. For reference the Formula Masters cars in Race07 are ~28k and the F1 games from Codies are just above 30k. Normal maps aren't something I'd be using - they're for per-pixel changes in normals. A lot of the bodywork…
You've got some really nice and diverse stuff on your portfolio. The only thing that sticks out to me is the hair on Jinx as I don't really feel that it matches the style of the rest of the character and weapons. I'm not really sure what to do to improve it though. The Resurgence weapons are pretty simple so if you're…
Hi Eric, a few things I noticed: your resume and email links are at the far edges of the screen rather than being in line with the images, I'm not sure if that's intentional, though I would imagine not. I'm using firefox btw Your logo background is a very slightly different shade of grey than your background, which would…
@Bitmap, OrganizedChaos, Dejawolf Cheers lads, glad your digging it. @Doseph: Christ man, don't worry about nit picking! I Wouldn't have joined PC if it wasn't for the honest critique people give here. You seem to know Warhammer so go for it (i've only played multiplayer dawn of war now and then with my mates) To address…
3d studio dos r2 for me as well, although when I got it from a friend as student version, r4 was out already. Did some very simple modelling, mostly animated stuff for fun sake (logo animations and such). No internet no manuals, it surely was a fun time figuring out that software ;) What stuck is that I still use the cyan…
