Re: [Portfolio] - Sean Marino, Hard Surface Modeler
nice work man. I really like your gun, but there is one small thing that bothers me about that guns texture. The sight looks very cg/Photoshopped to me. I would either give it its own material with some extra love, or simply lower the opacity of that red dot sight on the texture sheet. Also, the bed I think shows weakness… -
Re: Rigging and Sculpting Questions
Ey yo Sherlock! I haven't worked with sets, but I would imagine the process would be very similar to that of weapons, but instead of attaching and weighting them to the bones for the weapon, you would just position it where you would want it to be, then weight it 100% to the bone that would affect it, most likely the… -
Re: Texture res vs polycount... ?
This should probably be moved to Tech Talk. Generally it depends on how close you can get to the model and some other factors. For example, a prop you can walk right up to might be 1024, but one on the ceiling of a tall room might be 512. Screen-time is important too. A hero character or first person weapon might get a… -
Re: Last 5% of work = 40-50% of overall time?
That's the problem right there - don't trust your "mind's eye" until you actually lay things down. Everybody can fantasize on a hot fashion supermodel, visualize a coworker one has a crush on or think of a badass looking Ferrari. But no one can actually draw/sculpt/illustrate/design any of these subjects without years of… -
Re: ReconProG - WIP's
The following posts are of several finished high-poly weapon models I created at work. From these high-poly's I had to retop low poly models (they all had to be around 2000-2200 triangles) and bake normal maps for a mobile device game. Due to a little tight schedule and the low polygon budget, I have omitted some of the… -
Re: How do you organize your files.
On my desktop are folders denoting the program or maybe a specific project, i.e - Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator, Creation Seminar Scans, etc. Inside those program files are some classifications - so in "Maya" there's "Freelance", "Weapons", "Environments", "Stickfigure". Inside "Weapons" there are the project folders -… -
Re: Character Mod for UT3
Moose, if you get a chance, can you explain whats going on with the weapons boning? There is a Bib_Ik Hand root as a child of the bipeds root, and its position is at the center bottom of the character. Then its children are the Bib_IK_Gun and sub children of Root -Bip_IK_Hand_Root (bottom center of character) --Bib_Ik_Gun… -
Re: [WIP] M82 / M1017 Textures..
Your damage is too .. big. Look at how subtle the wear and tear is on this. The units that use these weapons take VERY good care of them. They carry them in cases, and pretty much only take them out of the case when they're in position and ready to use them. They need to make sure that their weapons are still configured… -
Re: Half life episode 3?
Back to this L4D2 thing. Swizzle, you said people don't think there are enough "obvious" new features to consider it a real sequel. New weapons (as well as old ones), melee weapon feature, new characters, new zombies, new locations, improved gib system, more in depth storyline, new director improvements, and different… -
(Finished) Karam Gaber "Warrior King"
Hello fellow artists, I would like to present to you my latest model and concept "The Egyptian Warrior King" as it is a very special project for me. The main idea behind this model was to create an imaginary character of the young king "Tutankhamon" as an adult warrior king, as he died young, while portraying his…
