We are pleased to announce that we have formed an agreement with Valve through the use of Steamworks on our first studio title, ORION: Prelude. We will be making the most of this addition and have already started integrating it into the title. Confirmed Steamworks Features:AchievementsLeaderboards &…
Hey dude that's cool! I'm still a wannabe environment artist too, but I've dabbled in a bit of everything. Enviro is the most exciting! what I've learned so far is enviro takes a lot of patience to bring a project to a finish. You have to go the extra mile to show your assets some love. It's easy to get carried away with…
@Beton_Brut I get what you mean, when you say you don't want to spend your supposed to be working time on learning the processes behind things. I get it but it is part of the process, none of the time is wasted though. It just requires a bit of a change of thinking. Growing as an artist is just part of actually being an…
I don't know if i've seen any official standards for it, but if i were you i would use this logic: Turntable and multiples are the best for video games, this is because you want to show that you can animate it so it looks good from all directions. Turntables are great for very symmetrical locomotion, and let's you show…
There is nothing wrong if you would fallow development closer you would learn few things: 1. Every rendering engineer would gladly throw away all other work and start researching dynamic GI. Simply because it's hot and very interesting topic. It's holy grail of real time rendering. 2. But.. There are few problems. There…
On Overgrowth work is being conducted in passes, first comes a gameplay pass, followed by a couple of art passes. When artists like myself inevitably screw up something game play related, then sometimes it is necessary for a level designer to step in and asses the damage, which is is followed by a second game-play pass. We…
Thanks guys! I was so busy for the last 2 months, I didn't even notice my art was added to the Polycount banner showcase :) That's awesome! It's a pity I missed it. @CybranM Thanks! It was the first time I tried to make my custom marble material in Keyshot ^^ Usually when you work on characters for 3D printing, you have to…
Hey man, In both cases your foreshortening is really off and that its really destroying the feeling of space and the values are muddy making everything feel wobbly. If you pick 1 or 2 pieces I can draw into them in the coming weeks. As far as subject matter I'll only go over the 2 you directly posted. The first one is…
We dont have any culture at all. None. "We" I mean white Canada. We have ZERO culture. If you are white, you dont say "We" IMO. Our white culture is summed up in a single simpsons or south park episode (which is what makes them funny...) Native canada does have great culture but the people themselves are not benefiting in…
Perhaps I should point you in the direction of the countless complaints I have heard you and your friends make about what your school is doing wrong before you make a statement like this... If you showcase an environment, then say "I want to do an environment", and then try to defend why you are doing it differently than…
