Hey everyone! This is a work in progress update for a portfolio project I'm working on based off of concept art by Joshua Jay Christie on ArtStation. I plan on making the whole scene but want to share my current benchmark as I'm quite proud of it. (The water is animated throught the material editor but idk if polycount…
I was kind of bothered by how un-Disney it was, actually. Or maybe what I mean is un-Alice. Or at least un-Lewis-Carroll. Definitely un-feel-good. The story and dialog was stripped of everything that made it endearing and unique and turned into a tragic and gloomy trudge through a video game plot ( ) with more violence…
haven't been around here much lately :S too much to do and welkl working on my comicon entry. doing a younger version of storm, my hommage to the bad punk design decision they made in the 80ies :D Decided that i'd need more women in my portfolio and something less stylized and/or fantasy might be nice, sthe challenge was a…
I'm not really sure what you mean that it can't be a "trendy place," like can you not go to Europe at all? If you're just talking about the major cities, I would definitely recommend doing a round-trip tour of Europe, although I'm biased because I love castles :P Scandinavia is great, but it is pretty dang expensive for…
thought it would be easy but cant do it. I got a diffuse that i want to be non glossy, and another diffuse i want to combine that has elements that are very glossy. These elements or whatever dont overlap in this case so i dont need to overlay. Not sure how this is done.
Neato. You should def give it a Spec to make it cream-your-pants good. right now it is only slightly-moisten-your-pants good, which granted is a pretty great kind of good. :)
Jigsaw - Thanks man, Ya im going to have to play with the textures for the pants and jacket a bit more to make it feel more real and like the concept. jhoyhottle - Thanks man, I'm basing this character off the concept posted on the first page so I dont want to change too much and I like the 80's cyberpunk feel those pants…
I think I have to agree with Kodde on this one, butts are fantastic, however there's no possible way those pants could be that baggy everywhere else and yet be that tightly wrapped around her shapely rear. So since the baggy pants seem pretty essential to the character I'd loosen that area. You could spandex up the rest of…
I think $15,000 is a bit of a stretch. VRAY hardware is going to be just as expensive if not more. I know what you mean about VRAY handling unoptimized models. At work I render products from a range of manufacturers and the fact I can drop in a 15 year old dfx file and it still renders somewhat okay is pretty funny. They…
US News & World Report does rankings, here's one for fine art schools with graduate degree programs (generally also good for undergrads). Rankings are always controversial though. http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-fine-arts-schools/fine-arts-rankings Some info on the wiki…
