@pyra hello i was using the unreal engine and took off texture filtering and lighting as they pixelate the image at such a low resolution and was advised that was the best way with the texture size etc. Yeah i think it is that i was scared to go too bright as my paintings used to be way too bright and now too dull so i…
Progress Update! I've spent the last week figuring out the characters / poses / composition for my entry. I arrived at the following sketch, with slight variation in the post for VI and Jinx who I wanted to be the main focus of this piece: Option A Option B After some consideration I wanted to put more emphasis on Jinx and…
Sure, I export all of my subtools with _high appended to the name (just make sure you uncheck "grp" in the zbrush export for each subtool) Next I name all my lowpoly the same with _low and export them all as a single fbx. In Painter under the common settings in bake you select "by mesh name" under match. And there you…
Here are a few artists that should be good role models for you. Kevin Johnstone - UT3 & Gears Environment Art thread, though it looks like some of his earlier posted images aren't working you may have to skip to the back to see his work if you haven't already. Lonewolf - http://www.lonewolf3d.com/ Eraserhead - Red Dwarf…
Alright so I just discovered one thing recently. Like everybody else I tend to gather reference pictures, illustrations and whatnot, accross many topics. Then I realized that even tho I had a large folder full of mech/robot stuff, I wasnt remembering any of the designs really. So I started putting together plastic model…
@jewski-bot Loving the progress! Getting a pretty good sense of the material this thing is made of based on the hand-painted detail. One thing I'd encourage is painting in the damaged bits as a lighter color, to show the unpainted material underneath. That's what I'm seeing in the concept art. Progress on the screens! I…
Character design isn't horrible. It's not particularly great, either, but 'horrible' is far too harsh a word. The biggest issue is that the characters seem a bit kit-bashed. There's no coherency in them, visually. The last 2-and-a-half robots (smaller ones are just headswaps) are a bit better in that regard. The buildings…
A GI joe Movie, oh I'm so freaking excited I could take a crap my pants. Oh why not make a Mega Man movie next, but to not piss off everyone who loves evil robots lets make them hunt down termites instead. Everyone hates termites right.... I think a Kirby live action movie would be better than GI Joe, sorry but I can't see…
A few months ago they had every episode of "It's Always Sunny in PA" was on Hulu, It was great. Now they're down to only 5 episodes.. bah. I also like Burn Notice. But watching it with commercials, forget it. Also the "hot chick, isn't so hot" more like greasy chicken skin stretched over toothpicks with 2 shots of cow ass…
Congrats! I must say that I've found the judging to be much better this year - or maybe the entries are just getting better. Lots of memorable ones around, even if the robots and cyborgs (which I personally don't care much for) still persist. I think a problem will always be that some are technically amazing, others are…
