That looks like a fun gnarly character with a lot of detail, but especially the beauty shots are really hard to read. The metal arm basically disappears into the body in the first shot, even without squinting. Perhaps you wanted to show the skulls, but having a stronger light from the left/back/top and less from the front…
One thing to keep in mind regarding the oddity of the island of the grip being in contact with the handle (and therefore causing some faint bleed) is that this could very well be unintentional. For instance the asset may have gone through a round of outsourcing and this detail wasn't caught during review ; or perhaps, they…
I haven't tried out Neil's yet. Does it come with spline painting? I think someone else made a separate script that paints splines, but I only ran across it, shouldn't be too hard to find again but I lost track of it as I never tried it out. AdvPainter works well for what I need it to. Spline painting comes in really handy…
Hello there, let me start by saying i haven't worked in a studio yet, i am nothing but a newbie but i want to say a couple of things that come to my mind, which i believe should be mentioned. First of all i loved that video you posted, it's the first time i see a video related to houdini and i can say it's rather handy…
Honestly? I don't know. I was veeery luckly with my first job. They hired me without art test or real portfolio, just from knowing my work at school. Now I am applying for the first time. Half my stuff is from a game project with friends (so deadlines and team feedback helped a lot) and other half I just finished for the…
Hi, so I try modeling the pieces for tabletop sim. The board game is called quadular and there is not a bord existed in the workshop. So why not try make it my own. Well I use 3ds max to model the pieces low poly. I even applied smoothing groups. But after exporting to .obj, all the polygons are smooth instead of hard.…
Yeah, pretty much, you need to preserve UV's, and if you have a bake with hard edges it's get a little complicated because it's harder to remove edges but keep hard edges and UV borders and general silhouette...so in some cases an automatic method will not work at all, you'll have to go in by hand and also delete small…
the version of photoshop wont necessarily help you make better textures, although i would always recommend using the latest version if it is available to you (in this case cs4) What kind of textures are you looking for help on? hand painted hard surface etc.... if hard surfacing i found that the racer445 and stefan morrell…
Well i judged it after watching different pictures from google with people holding guns, Maybe some of them had giant hands and made it look small, but it seemed that you should be able to wrap 3 and a half fingers around the handle, not 4. And the gloves make his fingers look bigger than they are so they should cover the…
Hey there, I can't totally answer your loan question. I have some close friends who have loans from both Gnomon and another school, and its working out barely so far. That would be an extreme example. That said, if you work hard, you can expect 70,000+ for your first job. If that helps factor your question. Next is if…
