Built a fake Cintiq last weekend!
Hey guys, Girlfriend (hereafter "Julie") and I built an LCD touchscreen last weekend! We followed the example at this website. (Mad props are hereby given to Drew Northcott for creating the aforementioned site.) Basically, we dismantled a 12x12 Intuos2 and a 15" lcd, and then sandwiched their guts together to make a lovely… -
Re: My Capstone Video
0:00-0:24 needs to go. The glow effects and bad bevel/emboss are at best, impressive only with a time machine. 2:04 I nodded off. But did wake up thinking I should buy bacon flavored shotgun rounds... 3:00 Very much lost interest in watching each weapon spin, no wire frame, no flat shaded view, no cool holographic… -
Re: Skull Grenade ala Borderlands
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. Also known as Colour, Chroma, Value - respectively. I'll let Sycra explain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2fZdGZKP1k :) Here's your base colour (middle) put through some saturation and lightness variance: While I haven't adjusted your hue, all you have to do is push it slightly… -
Re: Apple Ipad
I'm with the rest of the 'eh' people here. Doesn't look like it does anything I need it to better than the stuff I already have. I'm wondering how much impact this thing is going to have on the market. I'm sure the die-hard Apple fans will run screaming for one, along with the trust fund hipsters that have disposable… -
Re: "Time To Get Serious and Get the Skills for a 3D Enviro/Prop Artist Job!" - The Sequel, N:th edition
That's a great feedback sandwich if I ever saw one, thank you! Yes, I was imagining I'd try and split up my art station in a few categories, such as "All" and "Environments/Props", per what makes sense to send to different type positions, maybe a little bit like Mark van Haitsima - https://www.artstation.com/mvhaitsma Nice… -
Re: My First Post! (after a year of being too afraid share anything) help for a beginner?
Hello! I have returned with a couple of things I have been working on :) The links above helped me so much! I have been working a lot on my anatomy, composition, lighting, use of ps brushes, I feel like there has been an improvement! So I thought I would post some WIP's to see if I am going in the right direction. So this… -
Re: Derby Uni or Teesside Uni
The offering of placements is really limited. Consider the number of game companies in the UK (around 100 console/pc/handheld developers I'd guess, 200 or so including publishers, flash and mobile games) and then consider the number of game design courses who all use "placement opportunities" as a marketing strategy.… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
yeah I dont doubt that a skilled blender user could migrate to other software fairly quickly but its one thing learning a new app and another thing entirely learning to use that new app as efficiently as all the other professionals out there. They dont want artist A whos 40% slower to produce the same stuff as artist B,C… -
Re: Gears Workout
Tom, you're 5'9 and 180 ish in that picture? Either you're much taller/lighter than that or I have a ton of work to do. You look like you're 160 dude. But nice job! For the record, 5'9 180 lbs. Strongest and biggest I've been in my life. Workouts work differently for other people. Tom prefers his total body workouts. I… -
Re: Work, Life, Balance / Work, Work, Work
