Re: WIP Warehouse
No reason you can't use a photo sourced texture if your going for a realistic style. http://www.cgtextures.com/ a lot of people use them with great success, I understand you just put those on there and haven't worked on them yet. But yeah, grab and slap not good! You MUST give photo sourced textures much Much love and… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
Yea they do/can/could but the diagram again: A is draw command to GPU L = lag to go across the motherboard BUS on a wire b = time to draw 3D model 'b' I'n this diagram those 3 things are the same timeline. As the first line hits and A is coming in at line 2, but is not received till just after is done due to lag from the… -
Re: I'm finding it impossible to land a job
Just like everyone else is saying you have to buckle down and just put in the hard work. if you need a place to start, start with learning PBR. It's a crazy fast industry and when new technology or workflows come out you better learn it. You don't get an option. You don't get to stay in your comfort zone. You better learn… -
Re: Including Mood Boards in Kickstarter or Early Access pitches?
@Kevin : I see that you have made your decision, and I am glad that you took the time to ask for advice here. Just to drive the point across a little bit further : mood boards can be great ... but they are also extremely fast and easy to do, and at the end of the day they are by nature 100% derivative. What I am getting at… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
IMO, the main advantages of using tangent space: * Because the normal is relative to the face, Z always faces up. - That means normals with more precision when data is quantized, usually to 8bit per-axis. (128 vs 256 positive Z values.) - Z can be omitted and quickly derived on-the-fly without any extra info. - Storing… -
Re: Windrunner - Rain of Arrows (Taunt)
A few quick notes: * I feel like the beginning is a bit slow. I think the initial notch and draw could be sped up a little bit. * When she aims the bow up though there is a nice beat of nothing where she is aiming. Don't change that. * The bow doesn't snap back to its shape fast enough. Right now it feels....methodical.… -

Re: John Valenti | Environment Artist Portfolio WIP
Whats talent got to do with it when results is about 99% hard work ? You need to figure out why the tech is available for you, i.e when to use raw power of triangles and when to let the tech do the job for you. You are on your way, you just need to look around on other people arts, try to get good healthy critique at a… -
Re: Cubebrush ArtWar 2 - Literati Demoness
Deadline for the ArtWar coming in fast, gotta wrap this bad girl up! This may be the last update until the finish line as I really need to focus. Aside from one or two tiny cleanup spots, all of her highpoly work should be 100% done. I'm currently cruising through her retopo phase, but I wanted to try out a few composite… -
Re: Better earnings; Dota 2 Workshop or Unity Assets
I suppose so far Unity does sound like the best option. As I do currently have a job I'm getting by on I could theoretically do anything or nothing at all to monetize my modeling work. The problem lies in the fact that my job is God-awful horrible and I have no other options in my area, and it's a dead-end that's sucking…
