Re: State of the Industry: Why you should or should not give up.
A: What positive keeps you in this career or wanted career? Even with all the doom and gloom. I make art for a living, I work in a smaller studio and am in a position with some freedom to be creative with my art. Later I get to see the art I create go into a playable game, I get to see how the animators took my model and… -
Re: Education (university and work experience)
If you've got a good portfolio of traditional art and a good array of A-levels, I'd take a look at some fine art courses, preferably ones where they have a respected curriculum of traditional drawing/painting/design/illustration/sculpture as opposed to the more modern interpretations of "fine art" like sticking bits of… -
Re: [Game] Blood, Sweat, Gold -- modular character system + environment
Notes about a modular workflow: Seen here is two minor variations on the same texture. As I work on texturing each character, I keep very meticulous layers inside Substance Painter, and I separate channels completely. For instance, the redness in the second image is a separate layer sitting on top of the splotchy yellow… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Paul can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's referring to editing the normals of the lowpoly mesh. There are some scripts that allow you to select a face (or a group of faces), and then set the vertex normals to match the face normals. You need bevels along the primary planar faces, which you can sort of "push" the… -
Re: Feedback for my portfolio?
Hey Robert, I agree with Ashervisalis here and I also feel your portfolio is lacking actual level design. If this is what you’re trying to go for then your work should tell me that, but all I’m seeing is levels created for the sake of looks. Great if you’re focus is on environment artwork, but design needs to go deeper.… -
Re: Are standing desks better?
I started using a standing desk after switching out of a job where I was moving and lifting a lot for eight hours a day after five years. I'm pretty healthy, was in great shape then and was afraid of losing it. Again, I used a standing desk for two years. I think the key is having a sitting contingency. Most of the blog… -
Re: Industrial Scene - CryEngine 2 [WIP]
Thanks for the replies guys, appreaciate it. i'm not really planning on cutting down polycount of these models honestly, i plan on reusing them later on and i'm also not planning to release this as a playable location of any sort. This was planned as a material for video anyway but i don't have time to pull this into this… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Hidden content is hidden. You know photoshop can automate a web gallery that puts everything on one page right? It takes three clicks to see your content. Reduce this to one. I'll be outright with it. This is the type of site employers hate, and it's hurting you in the long-run more than you can understand. You know… -
Re: [CE3] Sci-fi Machine Room
Woha, thanks a lot guys! Didn't expect so much replies! @Brygelsmack: Thank you. What you described is exactly what I've saw many times before on the polycount reply-o-meter if you know it. Sad but true. @Kazperstan: Thanks! Yes, I've posted in the WAYWO as an x-post but this thread goes that fast that your stuff is not… -
Re: Noobs: Starting from the ground up.
Wow, I mearly meant this as a jumping off point. So far I've learned that 'noob' is not an accepted expression anymore (even though I was trying being cheeky), and anime is not that much respected. This instant induction of Game Art culture has been shocking. It's a good thing I suppose. In years past, I've had so many…
