Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?
Man, Autocon and Crazyfool, damn inspiring stories! and the rest, thanks again for all the great feedback so far. I'm currently figuring out my expenses, see where it can be trimmed down and how much I'd need each month to meet ends meet. Also checking out the oddjob section as advised, just to get those extra scraps. (and… -
Re: MP5 Feedback - Maya
Hey thanks for your feedback, Regarding the sight, your right I am missing that notch, so thanks :) I will definately trim down the trigger guard aswell, although the main image i was working from is quite a bit diferent from the one you posted so I am guessing that this is a diferent model of the MP5. In terms of the… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Very nice, particularly the distopian scene. What I would like to see is a technical breakdown. Basically, how many textures total are you using, what size textures, how many polygons total and how many on each asset. I would like to see basically how efficient you were with optimization and how smartly are you using… -
Re: urban environment WIP
Ahh I see. The benefits of working with modules comes into play when you export a handful pieces and arrange them in UnrealEd to be an entire city block. Exporting one big mesh could lead to performance issues and wasted resources. Since most of the brick around the windows is the same, you can break that down into one or… -
Re: Normal Map Baking Issues/ Smoothing
Yeah, do an explode bake, this is common practice whenever you have meshes close together that need to remain as separate objects. Though there are probably a lot of areas where you can simple merge the meshes into one larger, watertight mesh. This will make baking easier, and save you UV space (so you're not… -
Re: Lich King Helmet
Hello everyone. I continue to make the helmet and learning ZBrush. As it turned out, ZBrush is not so difficult as I imagined. I made the base of the crown and pushed thorns inside the base. Also I began to detail the horns and faced with little difficulty. Can someone suggest how best to make them smooth as metal, with… -
Re: Pipe Shrine Sewer UDK
The metal trim was just a suggestion I was making. Doing it all concrete could be fine, but if you're going to do it all concrete then I definitely think you should at least experiment with some different brick textures and styles for areas of the walls or the floor. Maybe it won't be as noticeable once you do those… -
Re: Usefull Character Sculpting Brushes?
Let me just tell you that it isn't so much the tools but rather the experience with the program that let you sculpt those beautiful characters that you see everywhere. Most artists rely on a few brushes and use them all the time for everything. That said, I like to use orbs crack brush for wrinkles and folds, the trim… -
Re: Yet another Showreel thread!
@Nistrum If you want to see if you are good enough for a studio job, put your artwork against others e.g. load up artstation or some amazing 3d artist and compare your work, if you are not as good then you know where to start. What I see is a lot simple assets like a lamp, or a simple building. I would not use that as a… -
Re: OneLungLewis - Sketchbook
I tweaked her female curves a bit, she was looking a little mannish. I raised her hips a bit and put some meat on her thighs. I shrunk her shoulder width a slight bit and trimmed down her stomach to try and capture that slight curve from the side going into her crotch. I also put some more mass on her calves and enlarged…
