Re: Sketchbook: Neoncypher
So I've been pretty busy at work the last few months with us finishing off Watch_Dogs, and I've not really had time to do any of my own stuff lately - until a few weeks ago when I started a clay sculpting course at a local art gallery.

Re: Summer Character Workshop - The Baker
About your decision to make the hair less voluminous I think you should have it localized to the head.

Re: 3ds Max character's bip01 and Unity
Outer: The general reason for having a dummy as the skeleton root with zeroed transforms is so the entire body can be animated while having a static point of reference in the scene and exported animations. So you can animate a "flailing falling backwards" animation or somesuch, and the character will always fall backwards… -
Re: Blizzard inspired WIP props/assets
tony, are you using existing reference while painting this? Besides just trying to photocopy the texturing done by existing WoW weapons, specifically this3Dmotive tutorial weapon, as a polishing process tip: What you can do to push the overall quality of the texture is to apply in subtle, offcolor hues (like greens where… -
Re: How is the art industry doing?
