With the deadline tomorrow its fair to say that life certainly got in the way. Trying to balance work and the demands of my baby twins has unfortunately made progress on this exceptionally non existent. But I do still plan to finish this, and will continue to work away on it, I'll post updates when they are worthwhile. In…
Your character is solid! when you say it isn't working, It might be helpful for you to put it into words what isn't feeling right. I would honestly say though, try and wrap up this character and do another. This sort of thing you just need to do a lot of, and you will naturally improve. Like if you were to say aim to do…
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Hell yes. Try out acrylics; they dry fast and they're fairly easy to work with. Once you find your feet, move to oil. Acrylics are more like drawing because of how quickly they set up. Oil takes a very long time to dry, but that also means it's very easy to rework something on the fly if it…
Hi, I have been working on this project for a while. However, I am stuck at a point where I do not know what to do with it, specially with lighting and composition. I am trying to achieve a good lighting, and improve maybe the composition, camera angle for it. Also I need to polish stuff in terms of modelling and…
I think your portfolio looks good at first blush and you have a good sense of your strengths and weaknesses. This is the one that stood out to me the most: Weak to no technical skills with high poly sculpting and organic modeling. My portfolio displays fairly "simple" models. It would also be cool to see the prop work…
Some great suggestions, pxgeek (please excuse any typos; one of my snakes bit me 3 weeks ago and it's still like typing with a frankfurt; so I'm using my 'rude finger instead' - getting an X-ray tomorrow. Been bitten by snakes plenty of times ; never had issues like this). So, yeah (I waffle too much) I'll give 'em a try…
Hello, I did it! :poly142: I'd like to share with you how I improved the export process from 3ds max to cryEngine. Also, with this trick you can improve many other...manual, time consuming things. The problem was that we had to export our models like 500 times per day, just to check how it looks inside the engine. To do it…
What Stepp said. I also started doing env work on Insurgency because we were short of env artists and because my PC could barely run the game back then :P It was a great experience and now I have the honor to work in person with some of the old school members of the mod. One thing to expect when joining a mod, is that you…
If its just for a render, its here ^ you have to click the BPR button for it to show up though. The composite approach might be the best if you want the details to show up also, and i hear fiddling with the jellybean material with this setting might help also. So best bet would be to do a composite, recently I've been on…
Most studios do annual reviews of employees and usually do lay off people that are not performing to expectations. Its different at a lot of studios some under performers get by just because there friends with a lead or owner and such ( this type of situations happens at bigger studios like EA and such) So even though…
