Re: John Ehresmann - Portfolio Critique/Feedback
As for the portfolio website I think it's serviceable but it could be a lot better. Some quick points: 1. Bigger and more descriptive (zoomed out) thumbnails. Without the title in the thumbnails I would pretty much have no idea what the first two were before clicking them. 2. Your header and banner font looks terrible,… -
Re: Game industry layoffs: The year 2013 so far, by the numbers
Regarding amassed number of layoffs and the value of knowing that, here's my opinion. Taken as a whole, sure, a flat number isn't very useful. But I find it interesting to dig into the data and figure out what it means. Off the top of my head, I see layoff numbers being useful in tracking trends. 1) Map them out by… -
Re: [CE3] The Bridge
Hey, I think it shows that you put a lot of effort into this already, but I'd step back a little bit for a second. What makes the original concept work so well is the fact that it mainly consists of three colors: The red parts (brick, deer, robot hand), the concrete and plants in this desaturated green and grey and the… -
Re: Types of Work for Polymodelers?
Yeah, this is what drives me crazy. Even the smallest file will have like a million parts. The models aren't really very clean to how we would use it and requires a lot of work. So I end up taking the surfaces into Maya, fix in there (you can bring in nurbs), then go to Lightwave to render/refine. I got a ton of materials… -
Re: Building up an environment portfolio
Hey Vlad, this tower environment is really coming together, got a few crits for ya that'll hopefully help it come together even betta :) - Use less black in your textures. Right now you're getting a lot of black in the scene overall, even though it's on top of a tower outside, where there's light coming from almost every… -
Re: Server Lab
Alright, here are a few more quick observations. 1. The color tone of the original piece is very cold and desaturated. Right now in yours, there seems to be this green tinge in the atmosphere. I'd probably remove that. 2. Really try and pay attention to the small details in the concept. Look at the globes in your piece.… -

Xaltar: Dude, your wife signed you up to that site ? thats freakin AWESOME your wife rocks!!!!! moose: Unfortunately dude, there is no magic wand tool inflating looses the hard edges, i needed to do each bit by hand *cries*. I think we did maybe 4 increases until we found what works. Im not doing the prints myself, but… -
Re: Portrait Render
Hey man, So it looks like switching to displacement was really good for your SSS. Since using displacement instead of normals forces the renderer to consider the micro detail as SSS, you tend to get a much warmer scattering. It looks like you're using a more saturated red/pink for the SSS, typically this is the scattering… -
Re: Ysalex new portfolio construction thread
Your current layout is pretty functional, it is the font usage that makes it look a little chaotic, and the awards are very distracting and hurting the frontpage, but its a tradeoff I guess, a guarantee of showing off prestige, or a cleaner look. Your 2 first mockups look fine in terms of image layout, but the fonts and… -
Re: getting fat doing games art
err genetics, metabolism and age... you're also like what 14-15 with parents who are paper thin? I had heavy parents but I was pretty active because I didn't want to turn out that way. That was until 24-25 when I started riding the desk. That's about the same time the weight started to pack on. My activity dropped off, my…
