Re: Halo 4
So I caved and picked up a copy (and the art book) this weekend. I've only played through the first level so far, and it's been reasonable but not stellar. Visually speaking, it looks great, but it doesn't look like a Halo game and seems to have lost the distinctive style that I remember from previous titles. It actually… -
Re: Need an MMORPG, any suggestions?
To add something that isnt so popular, and perhaps more out of ur way Try out eden eternity, as a former WoW player I actually was impressed by this mmo currently in beta, the cartoony art style is fun, and somehow it feels really smooth when you play it. However blade & soul is definatly one that I am going too play.… -
Re: Pro Spec and AO Map Creation tips [req]
Ace-Angel: "Just" greyscaling the diffuse and "calling it a day" is the wrong way to do a spec map - it's sloppy at best but I prefer to call it "plain stupid". Greyscaling the dif is just the first step of so many more. What I do is that I copy my entire diffuse group in Photoshop, greyscale it (Hue Saturation layer) and… -
Re: Student Portfolio (kdawg)
Thanks! I was on the fence about the props, and went with it just to have the quantity. But you're totally right. It was from a group project that I wasn't happy with, so I'll remove it! I will work on adding the technical stuff in there. I'm sorta embarrassed at the textures since I didn't use my UV space well. Haha, I… -
Re: TheLittlePaint_ Animation Current WIPs CC Appreciated
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. Really appreciated! I have a quick question though. What if I want to keep those little steps as a stylistic cartoony take on it. Maybe it needs to be a little more exaggerated so that the deep down pose before he starts running makes more sense. I see why you say that it feels… -
Re: Expected normalmap's quality for scanbased, tileable 2k texture
I did few more tests and it looks like noisy version is not bad. It gives detailed feeling when put on the ground, but depending on light settings it might look too noisy. I think that noise should be added as separate, small detailed map for shader if needed, especially it looks very repetitive itself. Blurred version… -
Re: Specializing in low poly...
a very very few studios just have "sculptors", usually folks who're so damn good that it's okay if they don't know the low poly stuff. Those guys usually come from a sculpting background too. But those positions are super duper rare as this is extremely specialized and there's no need to hire lots of those folks...it's… -
Re: [PBR] M4A1
Another thing because this comment has stayed in the back of my mind. I think there is a real fundamental misunderstanding of what PBR is here. PBR is not only useful for super photo realism, it can be used for any number of styles, even very cartoony stuff. The point of PBR isn't to always use the exact real world… -
Re: First model ever (terrible i think) (surf theme)
Thanks Torch. I'll keep going. Of course i will. Can only improve by going forward and learn from past mistakes :) . On that note. Damn i really had no inspiration today. I'm still a bit scared to start with an actually character so i just got a simple idea for something to make. Nothing special but just to keep busy and… -
Re: Here Comes the Squirtle Squad
I think you need to go a lot darker on the shading of the blue bits. I get that you want a soft cartoony feel, so full tonal value is out, but right now they are severely lacking in contrast. Convert one of your screengrabs to greyscale and you'll see what I mean. The tail swirl is probably the best in this regard, as it…
