Re: Looking for a job soon, need advice, portfolio critique
Huge thanks for the feedback guys, it's reassuring to know i'm on the right path I'll go with the blurred backgrounds and a trailer is in the pipeline. I'm reworking the sword to be higher quality (it was heavy WIP anyway), especially the grip (it's quite a simple asset because I wanted to push PBR texturing but as I said… -
Re: Portfolio review (VFX, Environment)
That's my que! As far as your VFX go, you could pretty much omit the Maya fluids examples from your portfolio, as they aren't helping you much. All of them feel like they were simmed at a fairly low resolution. The fire looks alright, though fairly basic. The explosions need more work. They don't have very good motion to… -
Re: Zbrush multiple objects and reference workflow?
Yeah import the figure model into zBrush. Coming from Maya it will either be gigantic or microscopic in zBrush! I forget which. Anyhow to work on the model in zBrush you need the brush's full size range in zBrush itself to work effectively. Actually a real time saver is setting up the GoZ plugin in Maya and doing all your… -
Re: Indy 4
Saw it last night. Quite enjoyable. Tons of things which annoyed me. *** SPOILERS *** One thing the old Indy movies always had was some kinda of secret society or cult - some mysterious guys would appear early in the movie and leave us wondering who they were, until later when it's revealed. They did that in this movie… -
Re: Need advice on approaches bevel the geo or use normal map for bevels? and some workflow questions
Definitely lod hard surface stuff by hand, it's not worth the hassle of using autolodders Your basic aim with lodding is to ensure that you never have a triangle on screen that is smaller than a pixel - that's the point where things become inefficient to render. As such you will likely want to drop thin bevels at the first… -
Re: University Developing a New Games Design Course - Open floor Discussion
All the theory and strategy in the world goes out the window if person doesn't have confidence to be themselves and do their best work. Many millenials have problems with self-esteem, so fixing that is prereq to anything else IMO. It's simple to do. Provide challenge, eliminate judgement. Repeat over and over. Root out… -
Re: I need portfolio help for college admission.
Just writing a couple of things Well it seems like a decent start, but I do not know which school you are going to. Some want super experienced people others (the most) teach you from start. But to say upfront, 1 year in 3D modeling is not gonna cut it. You can pull it off if you work really hard in your free time. Being… -
Re: Leveling up eyelids
Hi there - thank you for following through :) Personally I feel like "speedsculpts" are mostly a waste of time. In principle the idea is great, but in practice Zbrush makes the process way more convoluted than it needs to be and kinda defeats the entire point. What I mean by that is that the inaccurate viewport distortion… -
Re: Tell me everythings gonna be ok...
Andreas, regardless of the fact that computing will be dazzlingly different from how it is now in 20 years (which is a given) we can make some pretty sound predictions of what it will NOT be. Cloud computing is practical, and it will not result in a net loss of jobs, I don't think -- all of those server still need parts,… -
Re: Experience with Graphic Tablets (Huion)
I'm currently using a Huion 1060 Pro+ (same just with an SD card reader built in) and so far I really like it. The drivers are pretty good so far for me though they do seem to be improving fast. You need to uninstall old wacom drivers before you install new drivers into it and you will want to find a guide online on the…
