You'll have the same structural problems. If you feel modelling in maya suits you better, by all means do learn that. However; that will not necessarily fix the problems you're having. I find it easier to tell what the hell I'm doing when I can freely manipulate a mesh like I can in Zbrush, while polymodelling I feel like…
I don't think it's only 2 people working on a map in a studio, but anyways... If it turns out 1 dm map is too small, then people can always do another one and reuse assets or expand the theme. But starting big and realizing it't not gonna work,... To be honest, I was really shocked that the last project went down the same…
You choose DW4 did you not? It ends 1-2 months from now not days. The specs won't be released for another 5 days so how do you expect to finish a comp before it starts? We can do a mini comp that starts today and ends on Monday. We can do whatever, but you choose Dom War. So when dom war is fini, we'll take your entry and…
I agree with Brad for sure on this one! demo reels is a no no for what should only be still images of your work.... NOW! if you want a job in with a studio some day.... trying to become a character designer is a tough one. That is a very competitive area that I would tell most to stay away from. Unless your already…
To be honest, you really should start at a lower sub-division. Push the shapes until you can't get any more detail out of them, all while sculpting over the entire mesh this way. Once you can't get any more detail out of the mesh, divide and start sculpting again. It's really hard to jump to 1 mil+ poly's and control the…
Thank you for linking that post. I'm in the same position. I have little to no background in arts or design. But I do want to work in videogame industry. I got a bit of 3d modeling from Uni. Then I started teaching myself and learning online. For 2yrs all I did was lowpoly modeling. And very recently I just started using…
Step 02: Visual Brainstorming I almost always start out with a few pages of thumbnails, first just to get into a rhythm, then after about a page or so, I start to expand with different designs more focused on whatever pops into my head that I think would be a cool idea. Usually by the time I get to 2 or 3 pages I've…
perhaps you should start reading up before you just start buying systems or parts. Just because you are picking out the most expensive bits and pieces doesn't mean it will automatically be the best for you. The worst thing you can do right now is start throwing money at a system like this. What else comes with this system?…
Thanks all! This birthday has been pretty interesting. It's hit me a lot more than the others but in a good way. I started feeling old and drained of energy, so a month ago I decided it's about time to get back in shape. I started playing basketball and walking. The first few times playing ball killed my knees but it…
It definitely looks impressive on the first glance, you have some really great looking assets and there is obviously a lot of hard work put into all of it. So you have some skills, dedication and some good looking portfolio shots, especially for a student. So nice job! BUT (there is always a but) you have some things that…
