Unnacceptable man honestly. If it takes longer than 2 or 3 seconds to load your folio, your doing it wrong. An AD or lead should be able to see a quick overview of all of your work in a couple of seconds, no clicking, no scrolling - as fast as possible. That being said, if you want to have a link to a 3d version of any…
Aw, you're a dear! I gave the video a listen but will do so again later, it's such a gold mine 👀 Took a little break yesterday as I had some real life stuff to do. But let's get into day nine! It's stylised day today, and I found this incredible reference by Vladimir Savelyev on Artstation the other day. It looks really…
Hah, no offence meant dude :p I said it with a wink because I know it's a silly discussion. I guess i'm just trying to say it's never easy to get fancy effects from an offline render to look the same with realtime techniques. Does make it more fun if you're technically minded. I completely stopped using renderers like Vray…
Waiting tables here at least pays more or less the same, I’ll look into it, not the first time I’ve been suggested that. I agree I have to bust my ass doing the very same. I have already minimized a lot but I guess there is always room for more. I am the only guy working on a graveyard shift and when I am sleeping the…
As said above, good texturing with PBR materials, good lighting and 2dfx (like the smoke) and well optimised models. Here's a good quick example of high poly to low poly baked material use Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1sgac0v/this_is_your_sign_to_learn_how_to_bake_normal_maps/ Or better yet here's a…
The "oh you're a crazy soccer mom" rhetoric is vaguely familiar of the "cigarettes don't cause cancer" campaigns the same idiots bought into for decades and now love to sue the tobacco companies over. Part of me thinks people want to remain ignorant and fearful because there could be a big reward and its comforting to hear…
No one is butthurt and while I can speak only for my self, nothing I have said is misogynistic in any way. I don't think blogs dedicated to objectify women are right. As a father or a daughter and a husband (with a wife that works in games) I know all too well how women are treated. So you with all of your own assumptions…
@teodar23 While you may say these challenges are bad I find them incredibly useful, I'm not aiming for perfect likeness I'm aiming to understand form and shapes, understanding landmarks and all the differences found with different people, the time restraint isn't a factor to me when I'm only working to that level of…
I didn't need books to figure out how to break things. I saw Critters, that was the spark. My father taught me about the matches trick, which I thought was lame. I just got a bunch of crap that said flammable mixed and tried. When it went boom I said crap cause my mom beat the shit out of me. I just learned to do it far…
There has been a lot of great advice given here. I hope that you are ready to hear it, and can incorporate it in time. I just wanted to give 2 cents on something specific you had mentioned earlier. I do not interpret the concept behind that phrase as being something that you can simply check off the list after some period…
