Re: Egyptian sorta skin
I find the best way to pull off a nice gold is to start with a dark orange brown and start pulling off lighter orange to yellow highlights with a bit of white specular. rather than starting with yellow. To me your skin comes of a bit Bumble Beeish. It dosent immeditley register as gold. But it is a great model and a good… -
Re: [WIP] Teapot spirit - Character Art
This looks like a fun project! Looking at the concept before reading your description, I thought the liquid appendages were supposed to be tea, not honey. Coming as they are out from a teapot and all. So you might want to seek ways to clue the viewer in that it’s honey, like adding some bits of honeycomb, or maybe some… -
Re: Welp, my 3D career's probably over
Seriously man, hang in there. It's tough out there right now, but stick with it. I got laid off in January of 09, and with all the local studios I figured it wouldn't take long to get a new job at all. Boy was I wrong. About two weeks after I got laid off almost every local studio either had massive layoffs or closed shop.… -
Re: Custom Hotkeys for 3D Apps Poll: Yes/No
polycount has a poll feature fyi Custom hotkeys are an advantage (though how 'faster' they make you can't easily be measured) so I'm not sure why anyone would actively avoid them.

Re: Age of an artist
I'm a student about to graduate and I've just turned 27. I'm personally not worried, before I started studying games art I was a retail manager for a well known PC company so if all else fails I could always fall back into some sort of management role. It depends how passionate and serious you are, I'll be taking a huge… -
Re: Arrrr, the piracy poll!
A lot of piracy stems from lack of accessibility, though there is no one size fits all... A lot of value seeking takes place, trying to find if X software is worth it. Software doesnt always come with just a monetary cost, but the cost of time as well (learning). Piracy starts making a lot of sense when such purchases can… -
Re: Mindset and working each channel at once ?
I hardly ever use smart materials. I more or less do what throttlekitty and poopipe have described. look at the reference, separate it mentally by whatever it's relevant qualities are. make layer groups and name them accordingly. add mask to the groups and start masking off each area accordingly add fill layers within the… -
Re: Answered: 1 Pixel Mask

For further description..I have nothing too fancy going on. its a fairly basic setup so far, got a handful of smart materials generated via mat IDs i'm wanting to go through… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - The Dark Throne - Bants
A PROCESS IN SUBSTANCE PAINTER WORTH SHARING So as this is my first proper Substanced project where nearly everything has touched Substance at some point, I've learnt a lot but I'd like to share this particular process with you that I've picked up. 1.
