Re: New PolyDad here
Congratulations! I just became a father myself. My son, Dolan, was born on July 12th (6 pounds, 13.5 oz). You're going to have a lot of fun picking out clothes and toys for him. Make sure you spend as much time with him as you can, you can't get it back once it's past. I make sure I hold him at least once per day. It's the… -
Re: Best Game Artbooks that showcase 3D Character Art?
I have quite big artbooks collection (over 130 books) and for me the best one about character art is definitely The Art of God of War Ascension - it has 2 chapters, one with 2d concept art and second with sculpts or/and game models. The only cons are that currently it's really hard to get any and even if you find it the… -
Re: Stylized Sword
Thanks Dennispls and BeardedMike for the feedback! I am still in the process pf adding the small designs around each of the skulls and adding wear to the asset as a whole. I wanted to get a nice base to work off of before adding on the wear and smaller details. this is what i currently have on the piece but it is still a… -
Re: 30 days of hand-painted textures
Repeating shapes are certainly fine, and similar shapes within a texture will help bring some cohesion to the texture. But, that said if you're going to repeat those shapes identically, with no difference in painting, then there's no reason to make the texture that large (cause that's what the tiling will do). Looking at… -

Re: Portfolio Work
I agree with Teriyaki as well, You should really try to work from established concepts, try working on company art tests like the arena net art test, they are a great way to gauge your own ability as you do them and the look good on a portfolio as well. Also you need to trust in your normal maps more, there is no need for… -
Re: OverDose - Shameless Self Media Pimpage [id tech 2]
Your VRAM budget might, for starters. I'm all for authoring textures in at least twice the higher resolution needed at the moment, more than once I saw myself being able to pump up the budget a bit only to find out source files don't have more resolution, but it's all about using as much resolution as you need. I'd say… -
Re: Portfolio Project 2018
What @BIGTIMEMASTER wrote is a great guideline. And figuring out how many triangles to have is just something you'll eventually learn in time and with work experience. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about your candles but I'd like to show you the candles I made recently and to give you an idea of my thought process to…
