I've been studying game design part-time for the last six months and have created my first environment, which is a classic US diner. I would really appreciate any constructive feedback, as I'm still in the learning process. I'm planning to submit this by the 28th, so any insights would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!
1.What is bad thing working in gaming industry? Instability yes, though I have a hard time saying that this is actually the bad thing about it. I work in Sweden and we have way way more stability in the games industry than most other countries. I don't live in fear of losing my job at all, currently looking at 6-7 years at…
So this is kinda interesting. When we presented objects most of the time we had a lot of leniency to do it however we wished. That being said most of our stuff kind of ended up looking like stuff that previously existed. There is still one catch with this, you're asking concept artist to design for 3D guys. Imagine you're…
aajohnny: If the offer is good take it! Quick self history, I entered county college graphic design I was doing mods for a while than I got an offer from Epic. I took it, it was a contract gig for a year on Unreal Tournament 2004. I loved it. The contract ended I went back home. Went back to graphic design county college.…
Evolvyn - Thank you, good to know that this was worth sharing rather than just keeping it to myself. Oniram - Thanks, I don't really get to do this stuff at work so whenever I do, I'm paranoid that I forgot how to texture, but I eventually get into it. MadnessImport - Yeah, I definitely am getting more comfortable with…
From what you describe, the "helmet" method is what you might want to try for hair. It's probably not much different from what you've already surmised: You make a shape that matches the hairstyle and use alpha on the ends, and use additional alpha planes for a more layered look. Whether or not all this is welded together…
luge - Thankyou! I will definitely go in depth later off after the project is done (time constraints) but if you have any specific questions to as which specific part of the model I don't mind showing wires or going over a brief visual example of how I achieved some shapes. David-J - Been really struggling to imagine what…
Initially it doesn't sound terribly complicated to me, if you're just talking about a walk through video of an environment with keyframed cameras. What will greatly affect whether or not you can complete the project is the scale of the project, IE am I doing one nicely detailed room by working on it like crazy for a solid…
Blog Entry #1 - Grass Objects For the past two weeks i've been working on vegetation. A slow process considering i'm overhauling everything! But I thought i'd start on the obvious and make some new grass. Step 1: The workflow for making my grass is a little time consuming initially. You start off by making a simple grass…
Long time, no update. Art creation hit the skids last fall with the sudden advent of a huge increase in my daily workload when half our team at my day job was layed off. When I did get back into doing some more art on my own time, I ended taking a hard left turn when I was offered the opportunity contract work on two…
