I'll be the Devil's advocate... Reading between the lines, you've been doing freelance for years and going to school. Did you live at home that entire time and live off your parents, or did you pay all of your own bills and rent? Do you have a girlfriend who has supported you for years while you did freelance? Does…
Remember me? I've come out of hibernation to inject some more updates into this thread. With all of the distractions of Christmas and work, I haven't found the time to update. But here it is! Took Cay's advice and turned off eye adaption, made my scene dark so had to readjust the lighting, but at least it doesn't look like…
Wow, tons of progress! Lot of people doing this one as well. I will try to do some feedback now and then post some progress later. Vatanist: Great start. Nice character in his face. The Breastplate is different but it's all in the eye of the beholder! Rafferty: Great start. His neck seems a little short. PyrZern: Nice…
Hey, thanks for the replies. It's been a long while since I've touched anything to do with environments and due to University studies I had a limited amount of time for the scene before I had to go back to real life. This was initially supposed to be just a single camera render of day and night time, chaos vs peace, and…
That is some nice concept art :] I think you have basically everything in place :) but here are some off things: Proportions here and there. You made the space between the desk and wall too wide. That also makes the shelves too wide, so the props are not filling them correctly. The shelves are also a tad high off the…
To one up on Odow's critique... at this phase with crit like that... you can either stick to your original theme or just change it to fit the assets you already have since it's still early on in your production stage... just comes down to what you'd rather do tbh... if your mind's set on swamp then you'll probably have to…
thank you both for responding. It is always nice to get an answer here from the real artists. I am still not sure what to do. I do want some parts of the area to be accessible and there are some accessible rooftops so I can't just block them off completely. Also I really like having space between some of the buildings as…
Good Evening and Salutations Poly Counters. Been a while since my last post and I wanted to share some pictures of my progress. So first off, I've been messing around A LOT with UE4's lighting, learning what the various features do etc. etc. That said I needed to see how the materials looked in the day light since I can't…
Ok. First off let's narrow what are you going to do with this machine. Specifics (what software are you going to use for example). If you are looking to setup machines for game dev studio, this is what I would do: 1. Dont buy Quadro/FirePro gpus. It's rather pointless for geme development. They are expensive, and doesn't…
well obviously Im a bit shit. for example 1 year ago I didnt even know about edge splitting or other related stuff. I spent my first few years on/off doing rendering for some interior designers who didnt give a rats ass about my UV maps the rare times I was asked to actually make something. i knew hard edges, i just didnt…
