Re: Airship & Robots
The ship looks cool and has a good design, but the balloon is way too small. Hot air balloons are about 20 times larger than the tiny basket they carry. The render isn't big enough, and everything is white, it's hard to see the details. I didn't realize the robot was in the first image, until I looked at the second image.… -
Re: 3d-modeling software - where to start?
Depends, do you want to do it professionally (as in to make money) or just for fun? What kind of 3D art do you want to make? If you just want to do it for fun then there's no reason to spend tons of money, Blender can take care of most of the things you'd want to do in 3D, and free versions of game engines (UE4/Unity) +… -
Re: Transition from programmer to 3D artist
Perhaps you could combine your skills as you transition over by making some WebGL or three.js games/demos using your own artwork. As you get better at 3d start picking up freelance work as an artist. My own background goes like this: I began early adult life studying programming databases in college but found it rather… -
Re: Skinning/rigging vertex stretching in fingers
That... is a crazy problem and based on the screenshots I have no idea why its doing that. You might want to check the Bone Effect Limit in the skin modifier under Advanced Parameters. Its the number of bones that are allowed to influence a single vert. Typically for realtime games it needs to be 4 or less but max defaults… -
Re: With polygon counts rising are you going to update your portfolio with 100k meshes?
I think it depends on 2 things: 1. Budget 2. Scope If you're making an AAA game, obviously you'll want your game to look the best. If you're making a $20 indie game, avoid doing something that will take months. Scope is next. Does the game take place in a corridor or is it open world? Open world games tend to sacrifice… -
Re: Maya 2017 - animation updates!!!
I constantly work with 10-20 characters in my scene, plus level geo, and have no issues. I've gotten maybe 2 crashes in the last 14 months? It's funny. When you talk to animators about their preferred tools, it seems like everyone hates the one they hate because it crashes a lot. But what's killer is that everyone has… -
Re: Welcome to CeleryLand!
It is very expensive indeed. But also, you have to consider what you get. I have taken a CGWorkshop, and gotten zero out of it. I have also taken Scott Eatons courses, which was expensive, but learned a ton. I saw a sample lesson today, and I am thinking this might be worth it for aspiring artists. I am working in AAA as… -
Re: How many hours would this take you?
I'm wondering on what people would quote a client for the first bag. If it takes on average 12.5 hours. Say you charge a client $20 p/hr that's $250 for a bag. At the back of my mind i'd cringe if i quoted that price to a client; however that's how much the labour costs and isn't unreasonable for a high quality piece. In… -
Re: Student concept art survey. Information for my graphic design thesis! (plz)
Edu stuff goes in Education & Careers. But yes, you should know that most people regard surveys as being spammy. Responding to someone's survey feels like tossing candy into a bottomless pit. That's why companies always try to give the survey respondents some sort of reward in return for their time, like being entered into… -
Re: [HandPainted] First try making a retrofuturistic car
![[kaz]](https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/userpics/766/n7GU5FLAGSAWS.jpg)
Great start! Nice bold colors. Three suggestions: The orange and blue seem to be fighting each other, I recommend either making the blue lighter or the orange darker by at least 20%. The car itself feels a little cut-off, I think a nice chrome edge all the way around the bottom would help with that, and a gradient that…
