Re: Art Test Docks
I suppose its stating the obvious that if it does n't blow people away then its not quite good enough, even if it has some merit. The water cooler is not quite there IMHO looks as though its made from cardboard. The lantern looks like it has too much self illumination. Another thing is its normally considered bad form to… -
Re: caltech environment model
I have two suggestions. Place the scene in a game and see how it looks, good luck with translating the leaves. You might want to do a single plane with groups of leaves painted on them with a opacity and scatter those, and see how that looks. It won't look as good as they do now, but it might lower the polycount for you… -
Re: Will it ever be
Degrees are a written guarantee that you completed a set of tasks. I can model girls, Cheapy can model gargoyles but a degree in that would mean you can model anything. It's more a way of saying "look, my portfolio isn't just a set of lucky shots or stolen artwork, I can actually make art". Of course, a degree doesn't… -
Re: Character Artist Survey
[ QUOTE ] Finally! Someone WHO UNDERSTANDS! [/ QUOTE ] http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=194449&page=0&fpart=2&vc=1 This thread comes to mind, oh the classic Per rant, I miss em sometimes. I think it handled the whole issue of "square off VS pure pelt pull" pretty well. Daz had a nice belt illustration… -
Re: Half Life 2 - What was the big deal?
Wow, you're one of the only people I know that didn't like that game. It was incredibly immersive for starters. No elaborate cutscenes, minimalistic HUD, and a narrative that just sucks you in. I actually didn't feel like I was playing a game, I honestly felt like I was escaping City 17. The Gravity Gun was probably one of… -
Re: Hard drive setup recommendations ?
Also be mindful of what you keep dumping on the desktop as that normally resides on the C:\ drive also. If you're the type to dump all kinds of temp files and downloads there it might be a good time to break that habit and move it to that kind of stuff to another folder. I think you're safe to stick most of your major apps… -
Re: Soul Calibur 4: May the force be with you
I saw the vid earlier today and thought the visuals looked really nice, then out of nowhere I hear Vadar's breathing and thought... NO FUCKING WAY... WTF! Epic fail! Jesse, you ask how can some of us not like it? You're a Star Wars nut, you'd probably eat Star Wars Jedi Astro Pop cereal if such a thing existed, only… -
Re: Yes! My site! I did it!
*Bows down to the homecoming of master Gauss*. On a side note,tis a very good idea of yours to do a polycount "forum life" write up,since we are a very close-nit community and there is definatily a certain attitude people must come here and imediatily pick up. Im curious though how you would impliment the "required… -
Re: greatest artist in history
Schiele is definitely in my top 10 of favorite painters, as well as Klimt. Some of my other favs include: Edward Hopper Otto Dix Zdzisław Beksiński Francis Bacon Lucien Freud Robert Rauschenberg Odd Nerdrum and some of the newer painters I enjoy: Ben Tour Shawn Barber (whom I think has done things with Massive black)… -
Re: Akuma sculpt sculpey WIP ]
I do it to lock stuff in. It could tend to be a bad habit, but as I'm still learning I'll decide that as it comes. I think that is actually part of the reason I'm moving on to wax. You have limited time to work before it hardens on it's own w/o heating it back up. So it automatically locks detail in. Another thing I may do…
