Re: [CE3] Corner Store
A few things that jump out. The street lines are too thick. Take a look at your photo reference again. I don't believe street lines cross at intersections like that. Break them up in the appropriate places. Why is the stop light facing the other direction? Check your reference again. The 1428 Elm sign needs to have glow on… -
Re: 3ds max : reproject a normal map on a different uv set ?
I agree you can't transfer a normal map that way. BUT you can still transfer it. It will work IF you use 2 meshes and projection. It will read the bump as height data on the surface and translate it appropriately, like it would a normal map applied to a high poly object. You can NOT transfer if you only use a single mesh… -
Re: The Gaming Industry: How did you get in?
I was pretty fortunate. I wanted to do 3d art ever since we'd used CAD at school, and I was fascinated by games. So after school finished I managed to get accepted on to a decent Computer Games Modelling and Animation course at Derby Uni. When I was there the course was led by a pro who used to be an Art Manager at Sony… -
Re: Sketchbook: SCB, Harford, barnesy
Thanks selvesteHE, You make good points!. And you're completely right about my last painting, it was way off. Not enough thought into the perspective. We are trying to learn the fundamentals of perspective and color/value theory, whilst doing that we are sort of ' letting go ' and doing sketches like the one I just did… -
Re: Advice on portfolio/landing first job (Character Artist)
@Biomag It's simply an opinion I hold as a consumer? Don't agree thoughts need to be erased from my mind. As I said I understand why companies do it and it makes sense why they do it, but I myself am not a huge fan. Going to have to disagree that all Blizzard games look alike. Diablo 2 is nowhere near the visual aesthetic… -
Re: games dev and the military
Now I'm not too sure what exactly your army job will entail, but it'll probably take you out for a while. If you think you can bounce right back into 3d after however many months, then that's a plus. Also a plus is any job offers for 'realistic' FPS games. Maybe. Of course if war were declared and you were to be shipped… -
Re: Global Game Jam, 48 hour, Jan 23 - 25, Join us, 2015 University Hertfordshire
You too! Lots of tips: * Sleep - you'll need it * Be patient with people come day 2/3 - tell them if you need a break * Take gear like you're camping, so pillows/sleeping bags and earplugs (snorers and nonsleepers), your own mug, cleaning necessities, warm gear to fight off air con, tissues, etc. * Your first ideas after… -
Re: Riot Games Art Test for Class
@Oniram - Thanks! I agree about the hand paintingness. And I'm not working off concept. I should be, but I kind of just started going and this is what I made. Building design is given to us (can be altered), and the hand painted style is required. @Shad0wForce - I wish I could use an emissive, but I'm only allowed diffuse,… -
Re: Looping particle effects?
For times when you have to kick it old school, this does the trick pretty well. This script works pretty well even though its pretty old. http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/particle-looper What it does you can do manually. It creates 4 copies of your particle system and adjusts their start/end times so you have some… -
Re: Need some ideas!
No offense, but if you're not creative enough to figure out something to do then I don't know what to tell you. You're telling me that the world around you hasn't inspired you at all? Music, stories, art, people... they are all uninspiring? Even if they are, make something that contrasts that fact then. I don't want to say…
