Hello guys, I wanted to share with you some personal project that I have been working on in my free time. It's the electric locomotive - model 441-316, that was made in former Yugoslavia. This fellow is a bit old but still in use:) The plan is to finish game-ready train model that will be hero-prop of some train station…
*I hope I can post this here, cause I know it's not really cg related, but I really need help, so maybe the great dear luvly powerfull admins / mods can allow this for once . I finally got myself to pressing the exit game button on the World of Warcraft menu, so now I have time for serious things again. I got accepted at…
I've come across quite a few dedicated threads to the Artstation Challenge, so I thought I might as well put one up with my progress :) I've only posted in my sketchbook before, but I think this might be a better idea. I found this gem under the unfinished submissions, and I was drawn to the shapes and the untold story of…

Hi Dasha, I hope you had a good weekend. Yes there is nothing wrong about experimenting. In fact, taking older projects and testing out new ways to light, render and animate them is great research and dev. That's usually what I do. Sometimes trying to isolate one aspect of study is the best way to evaluate it, especially…
yes and no. The old XPS - the one the size of a small aircraft carrier and an according price - was great to upgrade with tons of huge harddrives (but SSDs are smaller anyway ;) ) and 4 DVD drives (why does anyone need so many 5 1/4 bays???) The new Studio XPS is a bit more limited since it's in a mini tower. Then again…
I went to Think Tank, 7/12 of my class currently has a job in the film/game industry (myself included, junior lighting/compositing artist). Our course ended in June/July, however only one person got a job right of out school (took till november for me and recently 2 more just got hired over the new year break) To sum it…
No problem. For the lighting its just a combination of an orange light at intensity 1 and a blue light at intensity 0.25. I use those cos they make your scenes look richer. For the sand waves I was sloppy but if you're more careful you'll end up with a much much better result. First, draw smae lines that look like sand…
