Re: Oddworld's Slig - Kyle Hall
Here's my feedback about the topology : On the organic parts it's gonna be easy, just remove loops and add some where needed, don't be affraid to create triangles, it's totally fine if this part of the mesh doesn't bend in the opposite way of the triangle. On the hardsurface parts there are a lot of completely useless… -
Re: How did they do the rocks in Shadow of the Colossus Remake?
My junior environment artist intuition™ tells me it's a clever use of using a lot of modular assets with either hand painted or a material shader that randomizes and blends several texture detail together. As for why it doesn't cost so much performance, I think ever since the PS3 gen, you can reasonably get away with a lot… -
Re: Why does UDK suck so bad at NMs
It's just part of the grand scheme of getting all that complex stuff to render at decent performance on current gen technology. The uv channel specular thing isn't necessarily related. Normally you never notice about this stuff in any engine, and nobody noticed this when they wrote it probably, as no-one was aware of these… -
Re: PORTFOLIO - Give me feedback on my fledgling 3d body of work!
I'd really love to see a bit more attention to detail. I share the sentiments above. The impression you give is that you're trying to finish work quickly to add pieces to the portfolio. Your focus seems to be primarily characters so I'd like to see more full game-ready characters in a game engine (marmoset or UDK are easy… -
Re: Science Fiction Doorway
cool stuff!!! I really strongly agree with what they have said above about value separation. with all this next gen imaged based lighting talk and physically based materials coming up, this would look especially impressive with material separation. Like what is this bolt made out of? how does it reflect light back at the… -
Re: Bill Murray Likeness Portrait
Ok yea I just added a couple more for you up there. So you're saying the actual expression he's making is not one you've seen him make? Yea I think it's kind of weird too, I usually think of him as more smug with his eyebrows up etc than "sweet" lol. I'm using X-gen for the hair with guides. The guides are at different… -
Re: Character creator and animations
If you really don't want to use morphs, then skin the mesh to one bone, and make that bone a child of the bone that will move in the hierarchy. Let's call the second bone an adjust bone for instance. From there you can scale that bone, move it, etc, and it will still move appropriately for animations. Then on the character… -
Re: Laptop size
you're doing 3D work on an air or something else? I have a 11'er air too and the nvidia card and core 2 duo care certainly good enough for last gen 3D work (my old Thinkpad T60p I got 2006 wasn't much better), but it still sounds rather cumbersome (with Maya's toolbars & ui taking up a lot of screen real estate). I do some… -
Re: Working on my portfolio
One reason im going through the Dozer tute is because my workflow is not very good I.e I don't understand the block out stage, medium, large and small detail pass and final pass, my workflow is nothing like this and I want to learn it. The idea was to learn from someone who clearly knows what they are doing. You're right… -
Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Yeah, i don't get the haters. A)The videos a very small slice of what I'm hoping is a large game. B)Deus Ex 1 had a relatively linear level structure, it was how you developed your character which defined when, how and with what you moved through the levels which made it cool. Personally I'd rather play a more designed…
