Re: Lighting setup....
MoP, thats a great read thanks for posting it and great suggestions also. There are a bunch of different ways to light a scene using just the default lights, not to mention the daylight system, and the other rendering engines that come with max MentalRay and VUE. Each of those have their own ways of handling light and you… -
Re: Portfolio Critiques and Advice
I was just suggesting more bounce light in some of the shots, was n't really being critical of the overall mood. Even dark shadows can pick out detail as long as they are not totally black. In the reference for that boiler room shot for example, the light behind the pipe has a nice warm glow, where it's slightly cooler/… -
Re: Hair Sculpting Methods for Dota 2 Characters
The CurveTubes and CurveTubesSnap brushes in Zbrush draw a curve according to your cursor movement and then create a tube along the curve.

Re: "The Industry" and Art Tests.
[ QUOTE ] Incom asked me a couple of questions and it was late last night when I was reading them so I sort of braindumped a metric fuckton (thats more than an imperial fuckton) of text, and I figure some of it might be helpful. ---What style is your stuff in (Polycounts, texture sizes?).
