Re: Dark Gal
Uhm, guys, this isn't really great constructive criticism you're giving there... Lamb, there is more to critique about the piece beyond the backstory, and I think we can say that the backstory is more a trope by this point than that it's cheesy. I don't think it's very helpful to someone to just give them a drive-by… -
Re: I'm interested in learning how to create simple design sketches but don't know how to start.
Hi! I found Game Jams to be a good opportunity to learn and find new areas of interest/fun. One of my favorite jams is Ludum Dare. Doing compo, you have something like 72 hours something fitting the theme, from scratch. Switching to the Jam category expands timeframe, allows collaboration and use of existing resources. I… -
Re: Chris Barnes - Portfolio Improvement Thread
I think this is what you're going for with the chair - If so, notice that the back and seat are made from interleaved horizontal and vertical webs. Clever use of your normal and alpha maps would let you do each with a single quad, but given today's concept of "low-poly" modelling each web is certainly possible. Also note… -
Re: Skin pores and tertiary details in normal map for overlay?
what your looking for is called a detail map..... some interesting stuff on blending in the detail map here other considerations are to use a second mapping channel for the detail map (otherwise it could be baked into the base map ;) ) , you can modulate the effect either with an alpha on the base or vertex color/alpha...… -
WIP Fairy Tale House
Hi everyone, I have been working on this piece on and off for quite a while and now, with some free time on my hand, I decided to finish it. The concept is from Libico Maraja (RIP) - imho one of the the greatest illustrators ever lived. Its an illustration from an old Italian animated feature film called Rosa di Bagdad. My… -
Re: need some portfolio feedback
Nice portfolio :) While it looks nice, I think the Old ATM Machine could be cut. The old subway is nice but lacks some character. Would be nice if there were props inside it instead of feeling empty. Sci-fi panel material looks cool but I think its a little simple for a portfolio. Overall cool portfolio, definitely… -
Cottages are being moved/redirected/closed.
As with @polycount.com email addresses, Polycount Cottages (the GSI-hosted ad-supported ones, not the .net paid ones) are in the process of being moved/overhauled/shut down. If you want to retain access to your cottage, GSI needs to set you up with a new account on the new servers. As a bonus, you'll also get a new domain… -
Re: [Portfolio] Haoyang Wang, Environment Artist
Here is the piece I was working on lately. A mix-up of 3ds Max hard surface modeling, Zbrush sculpting and texture painting. I am a big fan of id software's old school shooters and its art style. I especially love Quake 2's enemy design and its execution in game. Enemies in old school games tend to be more distinct and… -
Re: Bertie... The Robot
454 Casull Round Old Brass 1 Much Older Brass What I'd suggest for the Brass Rework your brass! Seriously though, guns get beat up and old, bullets get used well before they get to that point, at least for a war time robot. As for the gun itself, I'd try throwing a (very) light hint of dark navy blue for the gun… -
Re: Low poly practice
I have tried quite a few different ways of doing it. If I do folds on a seperate layer then I end up with the camo looking a mess. Painting the folds onto the base layer itself just doesn't work. I also tried doing a plain color layer with the folds then overlaying the camo with some transparency but it wasn't showing…
