Re: Environment Artist portfolios, any recommended ones?
Ah thanks guys. Eric I never even thought to look on the wiki for that! Awesome. Ryswick, thanks for the link, its 6 years old now! But I think its still relevant. should have read that when I as at uni, my first portfolio was way too elaborate. Actually is I had only discovered PC back at uni I could have been a way… -
Re: I FUCKING LOVE YOU POLYCOUNT, YOU AWESOME MOTHERFUCKERS
I'm aware this thread is three years old but my reason for bumping it is pretty simple really. Essentially not only reading about someone's dream coming true which is always nice too see also the best damn funniest post I've ever read in years. However more importantly for me and especially for those thinking about making… -
Re: S&W Model 686 Competitor Revolver .357 Modeling and baking study
Thanks for the feedback. You are right, I need to adjust the shape a bit. The noise and texture is made with SD, just the bigger forms like the bumps and the logo are baked and then I combined the normals in SD. I could just make all of the texture with SD but I should maybe learn to do it the "old fashioned" way too. I… -
Re: How do you know when you're finished?
Great work, I like the character. One area that I would personally like more refined is the character silhouette in the small body thumbnails. Really nice presentation. From my experience there is a constant state of growth with every new project which makes all of the old feel outdated. It's a skill I've been trying to… -
Re: How to configure the computer's hardware for 4k textures project
I use 250gb for windows, programs and the working project and it's big enough for now. I think an X99 platform is overkill, a good old i7 4790 on 1150 socket has plenty of power. From my experience, the biggest downtimes were when accesing the hard drive for read/write. If you have a large .psd 4k document you'll wait a… -
Re: Kara Zor El /Supergirl Character Model (WIP)
Been a while, but I'm finally able to jump back onto this! I've messed with the overall design, and would like to try this new color scheme as the old red/blue was too much like the current version. I'm mixing it up and going a bit more power girl, but still very youthful keeping the aesthetic from the films. DC stuff has… -
Re: From photo to game engine, character sculpting()
I did this on the old one but everything I put in here, I feel, still applies. You need harder edges, right now your plane changes are too gradual. Also many of the planes need to be tightened up. He has a lot of really large planes, like the broad forehead and the tall cheeks, which means that planes like the brow goggles… -
Re: Polycrunchin' temples like a boss
The sculpts are great, but the texture isn't doing it for me.... it's too monotone. It needs other colors that would accentuate wear mixed in, as well as some brighter highlights on the bricks either in the diffuse or with raising the intensity of the specular. Stuff like this:… -
Re: Monster Odyssey
Okay! So I've poked around with the terrain and I've also made a new dirt texture (old one in the terrain screenshot) It needs a little more work, but I think it will look okay with better foilage and grass and a few post processing shaders! :) Here is the dirt... I'm gonna work some more on it when I get the time too:… -
Re: Bethesda's Adam Adamowicz passed away :(
Terrible to hear of his passing, but at least amongst us, having Fallout 3 and Skyrim as your swan-song magnum opus... that's a hell of a way to sign off. He's left us with magnificent and soul-changing experiences and worlds to explore. I hope to be able to accomplish a tenth of that before I'm old and gray. We should…
