so i post pretty often on other forums & neglected this one for far too long. i've been trying to develop a bit more of a presence on here lately & i appreciate all the great crits on the fighting game character i've got going. Thanks! right now i'm also in the process of trying to revamp my portfolio/website & i was…

i tried one (and a few other types) cause i was getting bad wrist pain. I found all the ergonomic type mouse designs to be too wonky for modeling. Perhaps with more time I could have gotten used to it. But I gave up and just stick with the Logitech g502. I overcame wrist pain by reducing hours spent doing repetitive…
Tutorials are great. Much of what I've learned has been from tutorials. To get a good dive into Unreal materials and general shader tech art stuff check out ben cloward on youtube. But as you've said, there is a million tutorials for making models and textures but much less for intermediate and beyond tech art stuff.…
I admit that for the detailing part they are pre-mature and some of the details I put in were just there for the sake of it as I use my half baked drawings as reference as well. For the dragon bit I was trying mimic its skeletal structure that of an Ankylosaurus where it its bones (or the outer shell) were literally…
Pirax said: Was the risk worth it in the end? Yes. It was worth it. Do I have any regrets about it? Yes. I wish I did some of that sooner. Did the place I moved to have a positive impact? Yes. I don't mind rambling about my past jobs. Removing the freelance gigs, I had like 4-5 employers, as an employee. After my…
Cool! Thank you! I bugged my teacher about it and he was kind enough to help me with resource hunting and came back with these links! :lol: This one is text based with some image help and is probably most useful to someone who is familiar with Unreal and Texture nodes:…
Kinda painful to hear it from them but just ignore it. I'm constantly getting shit from my Mom, aunt, uncles, my best friends family too and even old friends of the family about how I need to waist a few years in collage until i can figure out what I want to do with my life even though Ive told them what I want to do they…
After doing most of the work on the feet I decided to begin on some of the fun stuff, which is, alpha brushing the body. It has always been my intention for the character to have a skintight suit most likely made of some kind of animal hide to reflect the species tribal / hunting / warrior culture, and I really liked how…
I was hoping to get feedback on a character I'm painting. It's a looter, criminal. It's not a main character type of look, he would not be the NPC who sells you apples either, but I think, more of a guy who you would at most, have to bounty hunt for a reward for looting a village with his gang or something. I was looking…
