Hi, I'm looking for an artist who can help us create a new game for Facebook. We have the basic concept planned and now need to start on the first basic art for it. The syle has to be spot on and so I'll need clear examples to show you are able to produce what we are looking for; * Flash graphics - eg as seen in Farmville…
Personally I write down a checklist in the morning or the night before. For example, if I'm studying I would write down milestones or specifically what I need to study. As well as chores and other non-art stuff. Whenever I'm working on my art I do it in silence first so I know what I'm trying to do. I only put on…
Hey guys! First post on polycount! I Wanted to share this piece, I hope you like it! Introduction I love games like Dead Island or Requisition VR. For this portfolio piece I wanted to get inspired by the crafty, impossible yet believable weapon designs of these games. What better than C4 attached to something like a…
This is awesome, love the diorama, and the direction you're inspired by. I searched this game and found what I hope is a representative image: This game looks really cool, great inspiration! It's important to note that this uses lighting and post-processing to change the "look" of the assets. I think they are using PBR…
Are you a bad enough dude? The Brief For this challenge you will be creating an environment for a side-scroller beat-em-up! This will be a 3D environment created for today’s console, PC or arcade market. Since this is a challenge, you will not be creating an environment from pre-existing ‘beat-em-up’ but rather you are…
Maybe a bit offtopic and i do not want to rant: Isn't this exactly "the problem" also in other areas (even other "industries") ? "The industry" does not define clear standards (and also the management fires everyone doing the real work).. So not only the newbies does not know what to put into their portfolio but also the…
Welcome to the second part of this Procedural Generation aka ProcGen classification series called “Many faces of Procedural Generation” series. To see the previous part click here. In this post I’m going to introduce a new concept: * ProcGen purity: This concept is a scale mainly used to compare the methodology’s…
Hey everyone! I've been working on a new project in UDK and set up a Master Material just to get everything started. While there are many wonderful examples of master materials on the web, there aren't very many that have been released for download, so here we go! UPDATE: 8/17/2013 Quick update for today. Bug fixes thanks…
A good tip to bring more depth into the scene is to add some meshes for curling wallpaper and hanging ceiling plaster. Here's a good example from Metro for the ceiling. I guess for the wallpaper it's self explainatory, but if needed, in the volga level are some good examples to find. It's a few polygons more for an…
Ah, I loved Aquaria. I think you're off to a very solid start here, but you need to take a step or two back and develop and detail up the body and costume. A lot of her is still quite soft at this point and a little blobby in places, most notably on the feet. I'd probably take the time to work out what extra details she…
