Re: [P&P] - What are you working on? 2008 Edition
In my limited experience w/ Maya it became necessary to start thinking in nodes the more complex a scene got. That's all a scene is in Maya is a bunch of nodes. They think they're so cool those fucking nodes. Paint job on a stylized head: -
Re: Going Indie
I went indie two and a half years ago, and these days you don't specifically have to be making games to carve out some success, as apps now cover a wide range of interactivity and entertainment.

Re: Far Cry 3 Art Dump
Yeah, basically my workflow is: Concept / Research: For weapons that arent 1:1 realistic. Example would be the flamethrower, which is inspired by the LPO50; however the LPO has a fuel backpack, we needed a canister/ammo based flamethrower. So I came up with a few designs in max.

Many companies are using Houdini to create assets and in other areas of their pipeline. And of course a lot of places use substance designer and substance painter. So I'd try to get used to it. -
Re: Advice for wannabe technical artist's career direction?

Re: UE3 Shader to mimic SF4 (WARNING LONG POST!)
your shader is hard to read broken up like that, try taking a bunch of screen shots and stitching together in PS so we get one seamless pic of your shader, it'll be easier to see how things hookup. As far as helping you figure out why your shader is broken I recommend going through each element and see how it's affecting…
