Re: I need lighting advice
What are you using as reference for your lighting? You could be examining other games that have a similar style of play, and see how their art direction influences their lighting choices. Also learn about how lighting influences gameplay. https://80.lv/articles/learning-lighting-for-video-games/… -
Re: Quick 'how to' guide for a wannabe environmental artist
Also just something worth noting. Securing a ADSK student licence doesn't specify an industry computer graphics biased or other tertiary/academic course of study. For example I'm currently enrolled in an ongoing series of training modules for my current place of work in the private security sector:… -
Re: Jobvite Application Process
It's been a while since I've applied but when I was doing blanket applications to anything and everything 1 in 10 emailed me a rejection. Game dev companies in particular get a lot of people that have no business applying for positions. When I was at Bethesda I talked to someone who did some of the hiring and they said… -

Re: SmessierDumps - Character Art
I like the alien at the top, even if it's a bit hard to read. The old soldier is up to a good start, too. The discolored spots on the skin seem way to small and "sprinkled" on though, but I guess that's just painted on top of the render for now? File sizes are excessive, though. I realize we don't have the year 2000… -
Re: Working as an Artist with Chronic Illness?
Freelancing doesn't mean you have to do everything by yourself. Freelancers go to lawyers or have accountants - so if you are worrying about messing up your organization / communication with clients, why not hire someone to do it for you? Doesn't need to be fulltime, doesn't need to cost you 50% of your income, but just to… -
Re: Skyrim - Cengine, Rage engine , Cryengine , Udk etc
I just need to mention that CD Projekt is a publisher, not a developer. CD Projekt Red, a subsidiary of CD Projekt, is actually much smaller than Bethesda; according to their linkedin profile they employ only 50~ people. To Bethesda's credit I'm assuming that their game is hell of a lot bigger than TW2 . Even if The… -
Re: MODO - how to adjust UV grid size for lightmaps?
I haven't used the image ratio setting in awhile; I find it simpler to pack my map in U -1 to 1 and V 0 to 1 (so, the normal UV square plus the one next to it). Then when I'm going to export, I duplicate/merge my mesh and with origin action center, scale to 50% in U and move +0.5 in U. Done. Although now that I think about… -

Re: Making 3DSMAX Movement behave like UE4?
I'm struggling a bit to see the problem here too - I'm utterly obsessed with accuracy in positioning and find max to be a joy to work with in that respect. I can't help feeling the OP simply hasn't got the knack yet, if you explore the behaviour of the snap tools on different subobject types and in different viewports, use…
