Immediately, I noticed your thumbnails were kinda odd. Very neat looking in the layout, but they're not doing you any good. The wide shape won't frame most pieces very well, which is why I'd suggest switching to the square design that was shown in this thread. They'll end up smaller images, but they'll show so much more of…
if you work alone everything is much easier in therms of Software tools you use. But as soon as you have to work in a studio pipeline its getting more complicated and you have to follow some rules. If the animation department is based on maya which it is most of the time you have to provide maya files. Early on dummies…
I disagree with most of this post. When I was learning, I spent much longer on portfolio pieces. The camera in my portfolio was maybe 2-3 months for a pretty simple prop. I believe that learning the fundamentals and not rushing through projects is more important than hitting an arbitrary deadline. I see tons of people ask…
Thank you very much for your time and your thorough examination of my portfolio. If it is not too much to ask, I had a few follow up questions on some of your critiques. I would also love to hear from anyone else on all of this as well. First of all, I am sorry about the absence of a link. I was worried that it might come…
I almost have the low poly version of my gun done. Along the way I experienced some problems with baking maps from xNormal. This was a problem that I've never seen before... After a lot of trail and error and reading countless post on different forums I finally solved the problem. It seems that most of the information was…
This was the full body image. Followed by a quick breakdown of some of the work I put into this piece. My process followed more of an illustrative approach because the contest window was only a couple of weeks. No where near enough time for me to make a rig-able mesh. For this reason, the character sculpt was rendered in…
Thanks for the kind words everyone! :D Currently, I'm really not sure how i'm going to tackle the LP yet or what is acceptable for a first person weapon like this :P It has been suggested to me that 5-7k is somewhere around what I should be looking at...any insight would be great :) For the LP barbed wire, I did a few…
> Most of these problems could be avoided simply by using Linux. Microsoft appears to have a "one size fits all" policy when it comes to their software. (Windows comes shipped with many computers by default, Internet Explorer and Outlook are bundled with Windows, etc.) Which is probably why a great majority of viruses,…
Hello everyone, I wrote a quick article on some thoughts I had about providing constructive criticsm. Since we are in the media age, a lot of artwork is shared and a lot of feedback goes back and forth. I decided to elaborate on some experiences of mine, and provide some feedback that i'd thought i'd share in terms of…
TLDR; tell me what makes you happy, tighter? more polys? less polys? brawl more? or bra-wl less? Interaction & responses? whoa, really didn't expect this but yeah at least on my end i am hype. (for now.) @pxgeek : Yeah me to, wanted to get it out of the way though & see what happens if we did something spontaneous and see…
