I thought sculpting and baking was in vogue these days for plenty of environment art assets, at least where budgets are higher? I guess depending on the studio size you may do more or less of certain tasks too. Ie, concept artists might do blocking out and some level design, while in bigger studios each part is more split…
This may come across as a bit abrasive, but I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk. :poly122: It takes at least three clicks to get to any content. That's a major problem. To compound it, you load a Flash viewer to look at images and Flash is notorious for loading slow and being unresponsive. Put content on the first page…
...I did a paintover of the side. These forms read as sort of a subset of Japanese Kemono aesthetic, where it's a bit more actual-animal than a person wearing an animal head. I've assumed that that's where you're going with your proportions, and instead of "fixing" them to hero character proportion, kept them at a cute…
Good luck to plug a cintiq on a laptop, there's a huge change of it working like shit or that you won'thave the graphic card needed to plug it on a laptop. If your laptop is new and bought on a good budget it's going to work just fine, but don't expect it to work on a 300$ laptop. Also It is NOT portable, yes you can bring…
Make more art. Honestly, the only person who can answer this is you. That said, you should definitely keep your options open and do TONS of research before you settle on a school. There are hundreds of scholarship options available to you at various schools, so don't just jump at the first option that presents itself. No.…
Hey Matt Conceptual story is cool and the concept drawing looks pretty solid. With the ruinous walls in the drawing, and the rather low poly jagged walls in your model, there's quite a big difference. I see you said you want to go lower poly, but I think you could afford to put a few more edges in the contours of your…
I think what will give out a bad impression about you to your website's visitors is your careless writing. Your resume has some wrongly spelled names, and the sentences could use some restructuring. I don't think you meant to say you freelanced as a dentist, but as freelance web designer for a dentist. Also, company that…
I don't agree with danshewan completely, yes, learn the app and tools on simpler things but you should start getting familiar with modeling organics as soon as you have a good grasp of the tools. Prop and environment modeling is a field unto itself with its own rules and constraints, I am no pro but I did find that my…
I didn't say all big budget films are huge mass appeal cookie cutters Verm....but to use your lord of the rings anaolgy: How many Epic films have been made ever since lotr's proved to draw crouds? And the Governator is one of the highest paid actors. As was sly and some others that 'really' don't act very well. The academy…
[ QUOTE ] Here's the shader that does shadow mapping. It does everything that the shaders on my site do and also shadow mapping. If you want transparency, choose that technique from the Techniques drop-down. HLSLnormal_map_specular_3lights_trans_lightmap.fx I hope this is what you wanted. Let me know how it goes and if you…
