Re: any tutorials on grouping and spreading out vegetation realistically
There's a great explanation of how to create good game landscape compositions in the Allods Online art bible, "Creating a World in 7 Days" (starting page 13 or so) http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Art_Bible I used similar techniques recently to make some environment layouts, a couple examples...… -
Re: Where is a good place to look for internships?
Look everywhere an anywhere. I applied for 100+ internships while I was looking in the summer of 2011. I went on http://www.gamedevmap.com/ and just started working my way through city by city. It doesn't hurt to send an email especially if there isn't an internship position listed. I ended up as an intern at Codename… -
Re: Negative feedback
I hate when threads turn into: please show me your credentials before I can accept your critique (no caring if you actually have a point). Or "your folio is like shit, how dare you crit me?" - happened to me - actually I'm a tech artist with 7+ years experience working with EA, Ubi, Naughty. I think I know a little bit how… -
Re: PSA: Always back-up everything.
I learned that Google offers free 1TB Google Drive Storage if you write reviews, answer questions, or upload photos for a total of 200 times with their local guides program. I already like to write reviews and had a decent number of points to start with, don't mind doing a bit of work to save $10 a month. Still $2 a moth… -
Re: How many instructions are to many?
Absolute basic instruction count for a solid color diffuse is in the 30-40 neighborhood. Also not all instructions are equal. An add is different than a square root. So its hard to say. However there are hard limits. 512 (I think) for SM3 (Direct x 7-9) 4096 for SM4 DX 10+ I just made up a shader with about 1200… -

Re: [WIP] Lowpoly Girl
UGH! The internet has been down at my house all day! Sorry about the delayed response. [Q]uik, no worries! Thanks anyway for the tutorial. :) Felipe, I wanted to changed the topology of the nose because there are a bunch of triangles around the nostrils, and a 6-pole and a 7-pole that seem to be causing some pinching. I've… -

Re: Sketchbook: Ben Bird-Jones
Day 7. October 14th 2016 - Batman Torso Sculpted the torso, really enjoyed working with clothing wrinkled, and the broadness of the anatomy. Day 8. October 15th 2016 - Batman Arm Time was cut short today, but made solid progress on the arms. Having trouble with artefacts like geometry stretching and holes, would love if I… -
Re: Erasam Emberhart - Obese Blood Elf Engineer; Blizzard Student Art Contest 2012 Charac
I really like three the best, it's got a nice strong silhouette without getting too cluttered (although as far as secondary details, the big studs on the aprons in 2 and 7 and the tool pockets in 5 are really cool- I think adding a few smaller details to tell his story without break the silhouette too much would be great).…
