I dunno if you saw this reference image or not, but it has some great little notes about what is what on the gun. If you wanted to break-up the coloration a bit more on the front and make it more interesting, you can make that foldout stand have a silver tipped spike. That should be a quick fix in the diffuse. Then IMO the…
Hey everyone sorry for being inactive the last days I've been really busy :s I think I can finally call the high poly done I changed the ears position so it's easier to retopo and rig. Also I did some modification on his Shurima's ornaments so it looks more interesting and complex. I took the suggestion of adding some…
off the top of my head what inspires me? hmmm I've been less and less involved in other people's art especially in recent years since the focus has been on my own, but if anything the most inspiration I've drawn from any one source has to have come from playing video games. Just looking at some of my games, the most…
I'd really like to hear more about this as well. This thread has done a great job dispelling a lot of the myths about weekly hours, but what about things like long-term job security? Is the industry really full of a bunch of nomads moving from studio to studio every 6-12 months because of lay-offs when a game ships/fails?…
I hope your happy this thread had me up all night dreaming about sloppy welding rods all over the place more importantly I was thinking about making a welding bead brush for Z Brush. The next guy you hire should make clean beads like this. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14597616/WeldingBrush%20(2).zip If you want the brush here…
Just wanted to drop by to say thanks for 'the good times'. Too bad I missed the picture, I think I was dragged away for a bit while it went down. At least I got to sign Ryan's table ^_^. Anyway, it was delightful to meet all of the old and new Polycounters alike. One suggestion for next year, everyone should wear their GDC…
I'm glad to hear that you are always open for crits, maybe the design was made that way, but the normal mapping and texture works looks flat, like a model made for Quake 3 that only has 1 diffuse map, I feel that the metal colouring made by the heat is a bit overdone, and the specular/gloss are flat or all on the same…
My last PC has been a Dell Studio XPS for like $800 (w/o monitor). Held up pretty well. After 2 years I got a new video card. I threw in some SSDs, but they're more for convenience rather than a must to keep it able to work with ZB/UDK/Maya etc. It's still going strong. Will probably last another 2 years. That's my 2nd…
I lost interest in God Of War. I loved the first few levels, but then it stopped being a great Devil May Cry clone, and turned into a bad platformer near the end. The last 2 levels were bad for this. "Jump up this spinning column with a bad camera angle, while your character is barely visible in the title safe region, and…
Well finding the exact route of human evolution through bones is pretty much impossible. You would have to find every single skeleton of every single successive individual who ever added into our Dna. Think of a family tree that goes back 47,000,000 years lol. Tho i don't think that not having millions of years ( i mean in…
