Thanks everyone! Contrails: Very slowly! I have a scratches brush that looks like a square with one of it's corners partially erased, and a very high rotation jitter, as well as a size controlled by pen pressure. I know I didn't come up with that idea; I think it's from someone on this forum. Anyways, I draw with a low…
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, JOY. I currently have about 75% of the low poly built with initial UV maps laid out and have begun test bakes and exporting to Marmoset Toolbag 2 (my trial for 3 expired a while back, and I can't upgrade until maybe a month or two). I still need to go in and finish up the…
I have a 5D original. The 5D II has nicer high ISO, but only by about 2 stops, and that's not enough for me to shell out the cash for. Right now I spend my money on lighting. ISO 1600 is fine for me right now. It's more that big photo receptors = better low light performance, and full frame has room for larger photo…
i dont see what in hell people are complaining about when it comes to game prices.. considering inflation and howmuch everything else in the world had almost doubled in price since the 80s, its reassuring to know games are almost the same price.. i remember shelling out 50 bucks for battletoads when it came out on nes..…
@ Uly, I owe you a keg of beer.. By the way, What I meant about "offsetting" was not what you showed above... Here are sequential shots to make "offsetting" thin line gizmo... (1) The pivot has been relocated from its original spot. Snap options are as displayed. RCS is set to "View." (2) "Affect Pivot Only" is ON. (Thanks…
I had a Sony VAIO for a while and it was a pretty neat little laptop, but the battery life was terrible - approx 1-1.5 hours. Now I have a 17" i5 Mac Book Pro (Someone broke in and stole my VAIO) with Windows 7 on it (dual boot) and it's great. I haven't had it long and I've hardly had a chance to use it yet, but so far…
Yes I do work a part time job, but the week timeframe looks like it's goign to work for me. I work at a before/after school childcare program caring for kids (... the effects of games on these kids is kind of creepy... Parents who allow their kids play GTA are my bane, but that's another can of worms). Thankfully, the…
"My name is Brandon Nobbs; I'm a 3d artist originally from Spokane WA. I have been drawing all my life originally inspired by comic books. I tried drafting as a creative outlet for five years until learning about 3d. Since then I've been doing 3d modeling, for the past year mostly using 3DSMax 5. Currently I'm less than a…
I went to a college for 3d art, my program got messed with so I didn't get a chance to learn stuff later in the pipeline and substance. After that I got caught in the tide of debt and making ends meet. Now its roughly 5 years later, with limited modeling in between, so my knowledge set is oddly patchy. I know enough that…
Hi! I thought to make this thread to discuss what to include in a portfolio presentation and how much is needed to start applying to job opportunities. I've noticed a lot of variation in portfolio content and presentation and have collected a few examples of artist portfolios at various levels. To start here is my…
