Re: The problem with current sci-fi art/style
Think of design. The ratio between visually noisy areas and visually clean areas. A perfect balance (I think its 80/20?) between those two is more visually appealing to the eye. And where are you getting your 90% figure? Sounds kind of pulled out of your ass. If this has been troubling you for some time then you should… -
Re: Eyeballing PBR textures?
There are basically two ways to create maps like glossiness and specular maps etc. Option 1) You type in the values numerical in Photoshop and then paint with that value. Most often this will be the case for parametric and percentage values which require a monochrome map. Say for instance you want to numerically create a… -
Re: Next-gen rendering trends
But what is it that I don't understand? I've been playing video games for 20+ years. Why would someone like me, who clearly has a vested interest in game art production and will likely release his own game some day, want to lie or distort something that clearly affects me at the end of the day? If someone has the answer to… -
Re: Yiynova MSP19U: watch out Cintiq its comming for you
Repeating Frendens numbers for PPI... Uh no I used the power of google to find a website for calculating PPI http://pixeldensitycalculator.com/ As far as repeating everything on the Frendens review, the only thing I remember from his review was that he was extremely happy with the yiynova U models, and that was in part… -
Re: W.I.P texture critique
Looks like you have some decent progress going here. There are some details that are missing their mark or just don't seem to make sense. Once you dial these in your work should look even closer to the reference. * In close up #2, that small lever seems pretty flat in both roughness and color. I would expect this to be… -
Re: Hero Forge (Android Game - WIP)
Here are some shots of 3 out of the 4 environments we are planning for Hero forge. We used a simple RGB multiply in max to check our lightmaps. *huge thanks to www.handpaintedtextures.com.

Re: Some more exercises
Dang, sorry I haven't gotten back to this, new job and other stuff have been keeping me busy. I'm mainly just trying to get into better shape overall. I know I've got some weight I could be without so I'm trying to be rid of it. Back in high school I was in phenominally good shape, college kinda really destroyed that, and… -
Re: Hand Painted Face -Critique Needed
Yea anyone using loops and rings is crazy... all those dumb bastards have it backwards, how dare they think to mimic the underlying muscle structure and open their work flow to easy and simple ways of working, crazy I tell you! =P Saving a few polys isn't all its was cracked up to be back in the day. Most processors, yes…
