Re: Kimon's High Poly Practice
Hey Stockwell! Thanks for the kind words, as yes, I agree with you on all points. I was really sloppy with this one, and pretty much no details has been added. Wanted something to do for a few hours and I didn't even think I was going to post it anywhere, then I remembered I got this thread! :) I don't plan to do a low… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
I don't have time to respond to your entire post right now but just wanted to say, you realize that weapons, vehicles and props are all hard surface work right? Robots, characters with armor and props, etc also have a lot of hard surface elements to them as well. If you do 90% soft organic characters that is one thing, but… -
Re: Spheredroid
@Niknesh Thanks for the feedback! Both you and CanberkYucekok said the same thing about the body not being metallic. I read the concept as as metal with a thin layer of paint on-top, I'm guessing you think of it more as anodized aluminium? I changed the shell to be anodized aluminium with a relatively light colour and… -
Re: My first animation reel.
This is actually a decent amount of work at a pretty good level for 4 months. Keep up what you're doing, you're definitely on the right track. All I can say right now is, be wary of how you're lighting your shots, a lot of these are quite dark, and in a demo reel you want your shots to be clear. My typical set up for… -
Re: First Animation Specialist Demo Reel
Hello Pyronatic - Smooth the eyes from the first shot unless that's the approach you wanted :) it looks weird and the geometry cut from the rest of the mesh. - Also, his chest and shoulders never move, try to connect the different parts of the body to each reaction :) - When he looks don't stop him like he hit a wall, try… -
Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
Man, there's just so much to do. I have a fairly good understanding of how to do pretty much everything, but the problem is getting stuff done, to prove that I can do these things. It just takes so much time to build up a good portfolio... Some things I've seen here, and on other CGI forums that I want to do; -make a… -
Re: I'm a games industry art director, ask me anything.
hi Stuart Campbell, I am a new comer artist trying to land an entry level job in the industry. So far I send out 4 resumes get no response. My portfolio and demo reel primary consisted props and characters (robot). Can you take a look of my portfolio or reel and tell me if I still behind too much of the industry standard?… -
Re: CAT Rig UDK Foot Placement
UE3 uses Skeletal Controllers to correct for character foot placement. This is set up in a character's animation tree in UDK and not in a 3d software program like Max or Maya ( although you need to create an IK bone on each foot for this to work ). Here is the documentation on the topic:… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - September & October 2017 (50)
@jewski-bot thanks for the tip, I am constantly afraid of putting too much geometry into my models, maybe I should try to allow myself to use a higher polycount :^) As for the "8" (definitely don't know how else I could call it), the modeling ended up looking pretty good to me after the preliminary baking I am now modeling… -
Re: Why do you do what you do?
..I was the kid that drew a robot then started drawing guns all over him..or dug a hole for my gi-joes secret base in my mom's garden and then let them all drowned in the great garden hose flood.. I turned my princess leia action figure from lame, to awesome by melting her face on a light bulb and feeding one of her arms…
