Re: Artstation - new site, best replacement for cghub i've seen so far
That and that's the strangest thing about the kickstarter, strikes me as entirely bizarre. But I really don't think they have a chance, Artstation has won my loyalty and with equal exposure to cg/game artists as it does to digital painters seems to of interested more people I know then what CG hub was even doing, so making… -
Re: Why do so many people seem to hate cgi?
I have no problem with CG at all these days because it practically looks like real life anyways, though i dislike bad CG which really breaks the immersion. Christopher Nolan's latest screens has been my favorites both in terms on CG and execution. Most memorable was Interstellar which was completely spectacular from start… -
Re: I am legend
Sonic in some shot I guess cg creeps where the cheapest and safest way to do it but in the movie they didn't come off as the creeps being more powerful as in I'm a supernatural being like a vampire. But I kind of see what you are saying. People question the use of cg for the creeps because it was a let down, it didn't hold… -
Re: alternative careers after 3d
Tried teaching for a year, much harder than it looks. Then developed a couple good freelance clients for architectural VR & CG work. Which led directly into a fulltime gig in non-games CG (online retail), helping grow and run a large team of artists making CG imagery, and setting up real-time CG pipelines. Lots of big… -
Re: Anyone remember the Dominance Wars?
"If you want to dive back into the spirit of that era you'll get a kick out of the Vertex ebooks, still available to download." Cheers for sharing these are indeed gems, was oscillating between vfx and gamedev at the time so only had issue # 1 (cos of that mech on it's cover : ) also in my mind, not unreasonable too… -
Re: Avatar Human Hardware Featurette
I love how quickly people put on hater pants before a movie is even in the theaters. While I'm tired of hearing people talk about how revolutionary the CG is, who cares? People love other movies that have heavy CG, and the CG isn't that good. Do you guys watch Ghostbusters now and hate it because of the crappy CG? Even if… -
YCFCG Character English class Review , Not Recommended
Hi, I am a CG artist and started learning CG a few years ago. I wanted to learn CG Characters. Here is my experience with YCFCG Character English Class: This class is just a Chinese voice over tutorial with English subtitles. No English voice. They did not mention that clearly on their website, which makes them an… -
Re: Pixel shaders in Max
Hi Techy I also grabbed this shader a while back when trying my hand at Cg, and I actually emailed the fur shader author about the effect and its max portability. Here is some info : ............ 1. I have the whole toolkit installed : toolkit, browser, CGfx viewer, Max Plugin and DX90c. I can browse all the CG shaders in… -
Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
"Is there a platform that is thriving you'd recommend?" Only forum can think of that's been around from a similar CG art perspective - vintage is BA?! but these days noticed imo a shift toward some sort of acrimonious 'vibe' creeping in there, just via few recent incidents I'd experienced so hardly visit other than… -
Re: HLSL magic
there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here…
