Just got back from holidays and ready to get back into adding to my digital sketch book. cgartland: thanks for the feedback, I took the blood off and created another version of my Joker character let me know what you think.
So..... I'm gonna assume that you are new to sculpting and some fool told you that anatomy is super important. Plot twist: IT'S NOT!!! What you really want to focus on are proportions and the big simple shapes. I recommend this book: Digital Sculpting Human Anatomy .
still working out the digital painting thing. Here is a Naga Siren from today. I used a soft round brush through all of the process. I love it. I always used to avoind the soft brush, but I am getting more comfortable with it.
This technology has been around since digital scanning ... so ... 14 years? Sure, voxel based tech is powerful but let's see some post effects, shadows, reflections, variety of shaders and animation at a solid 30. I'll believe it when I see it.
This is the concept for Pirate Gnar! ill be adding more stuff to the design but i wanted to give you guys a clear idea of where im going with this. Ill also be making Gnar's transformation but i havent concepted it in digital yet :D critiques would be nice
I bought this book and so far it is easy to follow and well structured. If you buy a digital copy stay away from the Google play version, its fucked. I wish I would have paid a little extra and got the pdf or a book.
you could try something like this: http://vimeo.com/5147726 and then randomising the rotation and scale with a script if things look too uniform? i remember doing the set dressing tutorial video from digital tutors and using a similar method to place rocks on a beach.
Hey Fremd, nice work. I believe though that in the Q&A it stated that you can only enter with a digital piece of work. It would be a shame if you put so much effort into a traditional drawing only to find out you can't enter with one.
$450? What were they thinking? +1 to a Valve version though. HL2: Raising the Bar was great and don't know why Valve they haven't done any more books. Maybe Polycount should do something similar to 3dTotal Digital Art Masters series?
I just don't like or care about limited editions. Waste of money, and adds to clutter. Steam Rules. In fact I'm hoping digital downloads becomes the norm for consoles too. I wasn't a fan of the first Assassins Creed, but the art is pretty good.
