What Am I Doing Wrong? Environment Artist Portfolio Critique
Hey Polycounters! So, I graduated a while back.. fresh out of uni I made the mistake of applying all over the place without really any perspective of who/what my competition was. Since then I've come to my senses (thanks to wonderful sites and forums like Polycount and Artstation) and overhauled my portfolio like 2-3… -
A couple UDK questions
Hi everyone, I'm building a level in UDK for my semester project, and I have a couple of questions/issues I was hoping you guys could shed some light on. 1) Can you duplicate landscape safely? I have a level built which I'd like to partially mirror. I have flipped it by selecting the existing landscape and using ctrl-click… -
Re: [FINISHED] Viking Mountain Pass Environment
Alot of juicy feedback here to chew on, so I'll keep my responses in one reply :) - I removed a few of the root mesh instances a while back to have some more chaotic shapes in the foreground. I also experimented with the road sign, like you suggested, but couldn't get it to work. I will explore this area of the piece more… -
Re: Anatomy/Character learning, CC please~
Thanks @bkost~ Here's my final pass, I used the 3D scan ref @carvuliero posted to finish it up, it was a great help! I'll store this sculpt away for now and perhaps come back to it after doing some other studies. It still has plenty of tidying up and detailing needed, also the head is from a different ref/sculpt I'd been… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (64)
@zachagreg - One of the things throwing me off with the background environment is that the sky color feels like it doesn't match and feel natural with your light setup. The cliff itself looks a bit busy and does distract and your asset gets a bit lost in it. I do like the columns and other stuff you have laying around the… -
Re: Issues with normal map shading
Whenever I have issues like this in any program/engine the best approach is to bake out something very simple. A normal map that has a positive shape, a negative shape and a round button type shape, some indented text and some embossed text, you can add a few scratches and stuff to it too. Map to a cube with each element… -
Re: Creating multiple shotguns for Dekogon Modern Shotgun Collections
Badass shotgun. .... but it looks like it can only hold three shells in the tube! That's no good for killing people. Need eight. A magazine tube extension should do the trick. Few more silly nitpicks : Tape over the barrel is dangerous. It'll melt. This is a left handed shotgun. I think the little disassembly button or… -
Re: Barbed Wire Baseball Bat
:) The wood grain isn't very complicated, really. I made 3 wood grain alphas from a photo of some wooden planks by desaturating them, adding a levels adjustment to get some more contrast and then matched the colour to a flat grey by going Image> Adjustments> Match colour. I then imported the alphas into ZBrush, blurred… -
Re: Dragon Age Legends: Remix 01
TBH, insane mode is the real way to play the game, but a lot of people who play Flash games are at a much lower skill level than you'd expect (shockingly lower), so it's important to keep the regular difficulties super easy. You'd be amazed how many people can't handle keyboard+mouse, WASD, etc. It's crazy. I've seen a… -
Re: Google hangout: Friday Beast Night.
Swap out the Monster for sugar free versions or coffee, they are utterly disgusting to your health. I stopped drinking energy drinks 6 months ago as I started to rely on them, started to get chest palpitations / problems + sitting down a huge percentage of my day is a recipe for disaster in the long run without regular…
