Re: TSM's models
The first thing that stands out to me is how blobular the wood appears to be. It has no hard edges. Even if you were intending to have the wood be rounded off, it doesn't feel so much like it's rounded off, as it's just the way the smoothing groups ended up. Did you do a high poly piece for this? Even if you do just a very… -
Re: ATV
Bakin'. This is a screen shot outta Substance Painter. I'm doing tweak after bake after tweak after bake to hunt down and eliminate the baking errors. I had to do some remodeling on some parts because I had over estimated the ability of the normal map to round off some corners. I replaced my workstation in December and I'm… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Tried out the Win 10 Tech Preview on an old Macbook Air result wasn't pretty. I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out eventually. On my Mac Mini it runs OK. (no insane overheating issues) but I can't stand the sluggish start menu. It keeps on trying to load up search results from the internet which might be the problem. The… -
Re: Relaxed Cone Step Mapping?
It really depends what technique you use, which I think is the point of bringing up RCSM as a method. By bringing up pancaking I think you're thinking of POM shortcomings. There are tons of ways to fake depth, some expensive some cheap, and I think it's (currently) better to keep those options in mind than to just… -
Re: How do you become a games writer
I totally feel for you when it comes to lacking time, it bothers me too and I'm not nearly as busy as you are. And I'll be honest with you in that I don't quite know if having an online portfolio of short games is a way to get hired; I certainly haven't heard of it, and there is a massive difference in attitude between the… -
Re: Meet the Animators - Introduce Yourself
WOW they're is a lot of gold in here, kinda intimidating, oh well. Good idea Adam Hi, I'm Aron Durkin. I've been freelance for the last 3 years, but I JUST founded a animation service provider in Leamington Spa (UK) with another fellow animator. The info on that (and some more recent work) is here,… -
Re: First time trying to get a job do my portfolio suck ?
Id remove the toon stuff, if its old school stuff you don't need it, people say your portfolio is only as good as your worst piece :) The victorian chair is a nice prop but the render is letting it down, its very flat and grey. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eLBaJ https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0VGBK You've got… -
Re: Powerglove 2.0
This makes me want to make my own rendition of it, playing really heavy on their old slogan of "Now you're playing with Power!" Or I'd go crazy with adding more connecting wires between the two pieces. Giant unnecessary stuff in there to make it more of a parody of it all. Sadly, I have no time. :P Anyhow, as for actual… -
Re: Is this a solid hardware upgrade?
the Intel Core i7 3770K should be a must buy for a newer computer if you are going to render/encode. It's more energy saver than the previous models, and it performs great. About the gpu, if you are going to buy a msi gtx 680, i recommed you to buy the twin frozr III version, and not the standard one. It's almost silent… -
Re: SVD Dragunov - First Bake - Excited :)
I modelled high poly and low poly in - Maya all parts except for the leathered cushion and the handgrip. I used zbrush for scuplting the cushion (adding leather scratches and folds to make it look like a bit old and devastated by the years). For the handgrip I wanted to try the Zremesher. Now I can see I shoudn't have been…
