hi guys, I have to admit I am a bit skeptical about doing it the way described above as it produces a lot of warping. That usually happens when normalizing a trapezoid poly for example to a rectangle. (as can be seen with the checker texture warping above) I`d suggest an alternative approach (both are surely valid for…
If you're going for props/environments its probably best to get rid of character stuff and focus on making a few really solid environments or props. I think people general advice is to focus on either stylised or realistic, so focus your artstyle on the kind of studios you want to work for. For example, if your goal is to…
It's not that I don't understand the math, I can write this stuff up in MEL pretty easily. I just don't know the syntax, and that takes time to learn. I wrote a script this morning that snaps an object to the nearest grid point and it took me quite awhile to do because I kept getting a syntax error that turned out to be a…
I'm not sure if this reel is good enough to get you a job, yet. The major thing that stands out to me right now is your timing. Everything is too slow with very little anticipation on any of your action. I'll focus on the fight scene at the beginning to hopefully show you why. The gut punch is a very good example of the…
My summary would be: A level is a discrete section of a game which has a beginning and an end, and does not comprise the entire game. Therefore I'd suggest that a game like an MMORPG like World of Warcraft doesn't really have "levels" as such, since it's all tied in as part of a big interconnecting world that the player…
off topic: i'm just now starting to realize the extent of my ego and come out of it. the minute you stop being proud of yourself is the minute you'll realize that you can acctualy learn and better yourself. i remember being in grade 10 and thinking 3d logos were cool because i 'knew' 3d. it impressed my classmates. i…

Hi! I'd say if your interested in creating environment assets, don't let a course stop you from doing so. Should you continue with the course, maybe find a way to combine it with your interests. Blender is free to use, for example, or you might get a student license for Maya or Max. You can create new assets that fit with…
Your 'best' is a good example of background that help show your model it has vignette , soft gradient , something to break the flat color ,ground shadow On the other hand 2 new pieces have not particular appalling color [think they call this muddy colors then you mix complimentary colors they became mud if you have to keep…
There's lots of smaller errors related to muscles flowing between forms. For example, the deltoid muscle always has a triangular shape as it connects between the bicep and tricep. Body builders tend to overdo it on these muscles, making them appear boxy, but it should still be there. It should also flow with the pectoral,…
