Re: State of the Industry: Why you should or should not give up.
Well said Josh! Although you may want to throw in Digital sculpting as well, which is a skill in and of itself. Also, texturing and texture painting seem to be a lost art among the newer artists coming into the field. It seems that you have a lot of people who are infatuated with the modeling and sculpting aspect of 3d art… -
Re: vehicle_fueltruck WIP 2
Looks great! I'm glad you didn't give up on this one, the texture work is coming along nicely giving it a good spec map should go a long way in finishing this off. My only beef is with how desaturated the texture looks. I'm going to take a guess that you're working on a laptop or a flat screen that has the digital vibrancy… -
Re: How important art is in your life?
The day i stop being creative, is the day i am going to die.Creating digital things is my life, you can really do whatever you want without having the hand precision required as in traditional arts,and you can adjust and isolate everything you want to get maximum precision.Which is why i love CG creation. I feel like a… -
Re: 3DS Max Questions (from a noob)
My apologies, I ended up fact-checking after I saw your response and it turns out I was mistaken. Some of the other display options will change the appearance (just try them out) but Butthair's method will certainly work. Click on the + at the top left corner of your viewport then under Visual Style & Appearance set your… -
Re: Ysalex Anatomy Practice Thread (nsfw)
Was updating the shader to the new vray skin mtl and it crashed on me, here is where I left out. Need to rebuild a lot of what I lost but I figured out most of the controls so not a total loss. Forgive the render errors etc, this was the only image in my render temp folder, but I kinda like the image with all the stuff on… -
Re: Sketchbook: jramauri
Forgive my noobness. I always thought zbrush was a sculpting program. I never realized you could digitally paint in it too! That's like, Photoshop and Mudbox in one (with infuriating controls, lol). I know you can texture in Zbrush, so not surprisingly you should be able to 2D paint in it too. Wow the things you learn ...… -
Re: Where do you find Jobs?
Yeah, sign up to a few groups on LinkedIn and you'll have more job ads than you'll know what do do with. 1 For Australia and New Zealand folks, The DLF (Digital Labourers Federation. No, I don't know either) mailout is your best bet. I recommend only signing up to the jobs mailout or you'll wind up with hundreds of emails… -
Re: 3D modelling help.
It's good to be struggling, that's when the learning happens, in my experience. This thread has a bunch of reasoning in it: CGTalk - Topology research You're going to have to suss it out yourself though. Topology is a deep subject, with a lot of opinions. I'd recommend paying attention to Stahlberg and Laa-Yosh, as well as… -
Re: Media Center PC, tuner recomendations?
Well i'm looking at building a system with a dual core intel e5200, 4 gigs of ram, and a geforce 9400 HDCP ready/HDMI video card. And i'm thinking i'll use XP MCE. At some point here, im thinking it might be a better idea just to get a PS3. But i'de miss out on the TV tuner/PVR functionality... [edit] A little more info;… -
Re: new sculpt
Nice! But I'm not digging the very normal hands as it is rite now. I think maybe something that would help this would be to come up with something that better flows with the characters energy. As is you have the feet have three digits and the hands having 4 seems odd to me. I think removing a finger and changing up the…
