draw calls in the end is what is most likely killing you, so thats a important consideration. And the issue is that those are also CPU bound. Star citizen from what ive seen dosnt run well at all, and Cryengine has had probably 30% performance advantage over other engines for the same vertice count even and easily the best…
Today's update: Additional rendering of the gold, pushed the highlights on the leather some more, as well as iterating the bone hooks. Removed the 'holey' object within the ring as I really couldn't make sense of it within the piece. All that's left now is some additional rendering on the hooks, another pass on the…
I think your lighting and arrangement needs work from a composition view, its too flat likely due to the many lights from every direction. I would turn off the top and left light to try and draw focus into the center/table. The fridge I would exchange for the drinking water barrel so its closer in frame Although the fridge…
On a high level I think of it as a slice of Painter in PS. It's going to be most useful for people who draw and paint in PS, but it can be used for a lot of things. It's a combination - there's a number of basic drawing, painting and texturing tools (tool presets) along with some custom actions and jsx scripts. It…
Concepts are a good idea. The idea behind a concept is that it's a kind of plan. It's so you can easily see if your idea will look good and do what you want it to do without having to commit to creating finished work. However don't get hung up on creating high quality concepts. It's nice if you can draw really well and…
We have been getting some applicants that are confused about what exactly does a storyboarder do. So, I have taken out the time to state what is need from you. Like one great storyboard artist said,"turn the directors interpretation of the script into either drawings that others can understand, like a comic book, or…
Thanks for the welcome and the crit : ) This image sum up a little how did I get here. I liked the style of akihiko yoshida and decided to draw something similar then I made a model in Zbrush and yesterday I saw some witcher 2 awesomness models at zbrushcentral and decided to move a little more from the concept that I had.…
In 3D coat you can have an image tile along a spline - so I'd make a tiling rope image and draw the spline out along the model, it's a bit janky and has some artifacts that appear over sharp bends. In Photoshop I'd just draw out a long rope and then use Puppet Warp to bend it into place. Of coarse it doesn't work that…
When I look at your last posts thumbnails they look so good as far as the color palette. Has that new age comic look. It gets really noisy when I look at these fullscreen all in my face though. My mind kind of freaks out and doesn't know what to look at still. When I look at the foreground you have essentially 2 focal…
There are some sculpting apps that i tried some years ago but the quality wasn't good and even nowadays the hardware of tablets or smartphones is not powerful enough to allows to work comfortably like on PC. Also on PC to use a software like Zbrush at its maximum potential without any lag you would need an i7 minimum ( or…
