Some feedback / thoughts: * Generally speaking don't render with a black background; aim for a dark grey like Polycount's background colour. * The DDO texture presentation isn't that practical if you want people to critique your textures / uving * I would avoid using the detail presets in legacy dDo. They can be helpful…
It suffers from the same problems most portfolio back alleys suffer, there just isn't much to it. You'd be better off showing the props by themselves without a scene. Few decals and a chair wont change that. I don't want to sound mean but you should really try doing some research before you make a scene, asking for…
[ QUOTE ] Its just so insulting to say that all people who claim welfare drink and smoke and generally waste their money. And even if they did, its none of your damn business. And education is not an option for everyone. Some people just want to have a job , but in some parts there are not many jobs , so claiming benefits…
Hey guys, so during last September's monthly contest I noticed a few requests for help on hair items, and I've also gotten some requests and interest in seeing how I did hair for my recent pieces. I've put together this small tutorial which hopefully will show just how easy sculpting hair is for dota 2 characters. I'm not…
After watching Kris Costa zsummit session, explaining how he utilized the feature “HD geometry”. Where he created amazing extreme high detailed portraits. I wondered if the feature would be useful for a video games pipeline. I wanted to see if I could get high quality skin/pore details, whilst doing this all on one texture…
Been a while, but since this is what I've been doing the past years, I should post too! Thanks for starting the thread. My family bought a 1950 Icelandic timber house, and I'm doing all the renovations myself. This included teaching myself the icelandic plumbing system (which includes a low pressure radiator loop for…
[A reference image AND an update...man I'm slow...] Got a little carried away with this. Consider it a Concept Tag? The biggest thing it's missing is value contrast. The eye will evaluate value before hue or saturation (which the piece also seem to be missing). You can have all sorts of crazy colors over your geisha, but…
Looking really cool! I definitely think you're picking up on a lot of things pretty quickly, especially for someone just starting out with handpainting. I know you're going on to a new sword, and I think that's probably the right call, you can keep iterating on your process from start to finish and what not. That said I…
TBF, if he wasn't a student then and isn't one now then it wasn't actually free for him anyway. I'm not going to judge. I just wouldn't do it. Everybody's different. That said, I don't think that he's complaining so much as he's sighing out loud. It's more of a, "Well, it was fun while it lasted. On to the next party." I'm…
