Alex_J Well, that's the thing... How do I make good artwork without making good art, and how do I make good art without good modeling AND texturing because if i post acceptable models with bad texturing wouldn't that lower my chances of getting hired ?. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I just need some guidance and…
Hi! I respect that you're upfront about your use of AI. I suggest you take look around the forum to get an idea of what some positions are on AI use, for example AI Art, Good or Bad? If you really want to learn and improve: Ditch the AI part! Looking at the image, I see objective errors which make me question whether…
There's at least three separate types of baking artifacts present in each of the examples above: * Pixelation / jagged aliasing in the normal textures. * Bright highlights around UV seams and hard edges. * Dark shadows around the inner and outer edges of shapes. * Wavy edges around around the outsides of the cylinders.…
In the top row example is the Painter default "painted steel" material as is. I did for both of the examples paint in a mask to wear through to the metal underneath. In the bottom example I took a basic color color and placed a fill texture in (BnW spots 2). Does this read as painted metal? Can you tell what it is or are…
For my Artstation setup I was mainly looking at an awesome, recent character art post: Exiled Pink Knight by SeungHwan Jeong. My character is much simpler in comparison, but I took what I could in terms of how to present work well. So I took some headshots in Sequencer and MRQ, and also took some screenshots of my…
Some of the needed edge cuts seems to be distibuted all over the model ? Maybe good for concepting but this may should be optimized (for example showing the 3 to 1 quad transition) especially when there are so many planar areas (then even triangles are no problem).. the hood seems to need some of that details (green).…
Since you mention naming and design. An interesting example would be dota and dota2. Dota originally being a warcraft3 mod and using the warcraft 3 heroes/names/some spells. Hero models: all of the hero models are basicly copied from the original designs, wich are all warcraft3 models. I probably wouldn't advice this,…
Looking nice so far. I would suggest adding some variance in detail, adding some lower-frequency areas for the eye to "rest". For example not using the same rock models everywhere, but having some differentiation. The roof opening looks a bit odd with the same high frequency rock as the lower walls, like it could cave in…
In my spare time, I am developing a 3d game engine for iOS devices and hopefully also Android as soon as most needed features are implemented. My engine iSDGE is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 for rendering, features my own (not yet very optimized, but very comfortable to use) math functions, uses bullet for physics simulation and…
Oh, one more thing... As you your boot is quite square and stylized, i'm guessing you'll want to keep certain edges sharper, in that case, it's all about strategically placing loops on your base mesh. experiment putting loops where you wants sharpness, go back and forth until you are satisfied. *keep in mind also how you…
