Re: Skytrain Interior
I think adam means a touch of this ... A dab of that... Sprinkle a bit of this on top... And you got yourself one impressive skytrain scene. And realistically you could get a good looking in game interior for under 1 000 polys. And if your going to do a cool ripped up, dangling from the tracks scene, then id say use some… -
Re: Your favourite artbooks
If we're looking "The Art of..." typed books, then The Oddworld Inhabitants book might be my favourite it goes through each of the games, including several of the cancelled ones, and discusses development and aesthetic choices. It's also really pretty. https://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/ Goblins of The… -
Re: How did you get into the industry?

Re: ZBrush Tri Part insert mesh welding disaster
Updating with more info: This mesh was made in Blender using symmetry modifier for the left/right side, since the end pieces was simply rotated. I thought this might be the problem so I applied rotation/scale/location (Blender's equivalent of reset x-form) before exporting, didn't make a difference. I also tried mirroring… -

Re: Best workflow for gravel-roads?
Here's a quick way to to it procedurally in Max using pflow, it might work for you (if you're using max :P) : Build a couple tiny pebble models of various sizes. Convert to editable poly and combine them into a single object using attach. You can unwrap and texture them if you want, it may help for baking later. Throw down… -
Re: Console Purchase Help
Update: I did end up getting a 360 this last weekend. Circuit City is running a deal right now; you buy a 360 and you get an additional wireless controller and Fuzion Frenzy 2 for free. They also had no pay until 2009, so rather than saving up and trying to find a deal, I just bought it now with a fairly decent deal. Some… -
Re: Portfolio Review / Junior
Christmass 2350 would be a lot better if you went for more stylized style. In general it feels like you are somewhere in between and stylized. That is okay, but you definitely haven't mastered your unique way of doing things. Here are a couple of pointers. Pay more attention to your forms. The pirate cabin has weird angles… -
Re: Filenaming, what's your way?
LoL! I wrote about three pages renting about the old folder structure in our project...then I realised you also work in the game industry and have probably seen worst. Just think of problems you had with naming conventions - we had them all! What now works best in our !small project: - deep hierarchy i.e.… -
Re: [Solved] Blender Face weighted normals (controlling bevel weights?)
So I tried adjusting my smoothing angle on the auto smooth function, but that simply changed the areas that the incorrect shading appears. Then I turned to flat v. smooth shaded base under the data transferred face weight normals. flat simply creates more pronounced shading errors. which can be seen with and without the…
