Thanks mate :+1: Figurative drawing using this method, particularly if combined with raster brushes can be a bit 'finicky' in terms of staying focused, concentrating on trying to capture the subject's personality alongside technical aspects as opposed to a lesser extent, illustrating hard surface content. EDIT: Oh! and…
While it's true that impurities exist in most metals which would give some diffuse properties, the impurities in the metal lead to such low BRDF values that they may as well be black anyway, that's the impression i've gotten from the disney BRDF software anyway. The other thing to consider is that PBR is supposed to make…
trying to pursue a personal style in the early stages of your learningproces will only limit your artistic abilities. I try to study styles but not stick to them. Do i have a personal style? maybe but its not something that i intend to force onto my work unless its deliberate (like my disney sculptstuff). Just study…
I went to the Disney Land in Paris when I went there. Wasn't that fun though, but if you like that sort of thing then it might be worth a visit. As Nick said, try and find some cafes or places that sell crepes. I know that a few of the best spots have been mentioned on the Food Network before but I don't remember what they…
I'd say do some soulsearching and try to decide which area of art you enjoy the most? Is it realistic visualization or maybe it is Disney-like cartoony animation? Believe me, I know that it is not a trivial thing to do, but it needs to be done. Once you know what area you want to improve: start working on it. Do personal…
my first job was kind of rough since i had no connections, but ever since, the jobs i took had at least some kind of connections involved with either a friend or a friend's friend. nobody got me in like the "fast track" line in Disney Land, but had it not been connections, I wouldn't know what position's open or which…
I saw that stand! I have to say it was the prettiest stand on gamescom! Kind of had that disney-ride quality to it :) So, what was up with that chick that looked like lady gaga(she was hot tho!)? There was also a guy in the back of the stand 'guarding' the exit, sending away any angry nerds trying to sneak in. Didnt get to…
James Schauf, he was a military until the age of 29 more or less than he attended Gnomon to pursue a career in VFX and now he is an environment modeler at Walt Disney Studios, he got the first job in the CG industry at the age of 32 or 33. Here is the webinar that i watched some times…
It's been a while :smile: Looking at the previous images... well, she didn't look like Audrey at all. I've been learning the technical part such as topology and rigging, and studying Disney style. I made like a hundred of iterations trying to find the right balance between the likeness of the real person and the more…
That is sort of why I didn't push the Chinese stuff too much to begin with, I couldn't find much reference for Chinese heavy armour. I ended up trying to do a very exaggerated version of Mulan's armour from the Disney film. The rope stuff was an idea from exaggerating this kind of stuff: Is it not Chinese? If anyone had…
