Thought about doing contract work? It would get you some titles, experience and some more pieces for your portfolio, and you would start to network. About your portfolio: Over all, the art is pretty good. But the lighting needs to be improved, the textures are noisy and often too big for the object they are covering and…
Thanks Haiddasalami for the referral! =) I made a nearly 7 hour beginner's guide to Cascade, and 3dmotive bought the rights out from me so they can add it to their library. From what I hear it is being released on their site very soon (hopefully this month). I think it'll be a good starting point if you want to learn VFX…
Yes, you can do Maya-style hard/soft edges in Blender pretty easily (more easily than vanilla Modo at least), and they export to UE4. Unfortunately, you can't just import your .fbx and export it; you have to set up the smoothing in Blender instead. Let's say I've modeled a beveled box in Modo and I want to take it through…

Hey guys, So ive been working on the game for around 1.5+ years so far and we are now on a point where it is somewhat presentable. The game is a unforgiving dungeon crawler or rogue-like shooter, everything is very powerful and the machines are relentless. Autocannon turrets rip you to shreds if you get hit, dodge mortars…
Here is a small update for the challenge! As for me, I love storytelling and planning my Animations from a short backstory, to get to know the character more. I have taken freedom to create a new League of Legends character that I would love to play as. I have been trying my best to put her inside the story as a friend to…
Breakdown Interior Assets In this post I will give a short breakdown on how the creation of an interior Asset was done for this project. First, environment assets are split into different areas, areas that use material layering for texturing and areas that don’t. For the door below, the blue areas are shaded by using…
