Hi Guys, I've been working on this A-wing as a bit of a portfolio piece/texturing exercise, I'd love any feedback if anyone out there would care to comment. I know it's not a very complex model compared to a lot of the other stuff I see on this forum, but i'd really appreciate any feedback about both the model and the…
Chris is in charge of the pricing, but I'm pretty sure that he'll price it the same as the other intermediate or advanced DVDs that are offered from Cg Academy. Glad to hear that you're looking forward to it. It's been really fun to work on for that last few months.
So, there is this fun little addition that Camelot made to the Shining series. When the game starts up, at about the point where you are selecting a save slot, they present the story of the game as being told or read to you. You see a character (usually with a book) and when you select your save slot they “read to you” the…
@Ashervisalis thanks for all the helpful advice! I'm definitely going to take a look at pureref, I've heard of it before but I didnt know its free which is cool. I didnt make the concept art actually two of my good friends are illustrators who have been working together to create this piece. Since the concept is definitely…
@Carl Brannstrom Thats a very very good tip, this explains why creating characters from WoW was fun and not so much a hassle, they had a whole story. I could make a warlock look like a warlock, a warrior look like a warrior etc. I was inspired to make the lich king because his story was just so amazing to me, and this was…
Sounds like you're eating all right. I'd strongly recommend picking up a sport. It makes exercise so much more fun especially if you apply the same passion and thirst for self-improvement you have for game art. It'll be rough at first and incredibly discouraging, but the long term rewards are worth it (in my opinion). If…
Thanks for the comments :) -Em'- I'm glad you like it! With this one I just wanted to make a car without too much of a hazzle, just for fun. So yes it is just some good old poly modeling indeed. Also when rendering it with for example using Xoliul's shader, I find the results good enough. Considering the lack of a…
Good luck man! I know how it is to want a career change. A couple of years ago I got so burned out on games I decided to jump ship and do custom painting. Motorcycles, helmets, whatever. It was fun but very labor intensive and hard work. After a year of doing that I realized that my passion is and always has been games.…
NOPE, it's just as fun as the first time I ever modded a video game all those years ago. I think your working environment has alot to do with it. For me I've chosen specific jobs and studio's, I'm now part of a medium sized studio I help setup and it's been 100% rewarding for the past 3 years. You've made the decision to…
Small update so you know I haven't quit! Work has been crazy so I haven't had much time the past week and a half to work on it. :C I figured out a foot design, did a little work on the skull, a tiny bit on the hands, and worked on the folds of the pants. I'm aiming for a slightly-thick hide material and have been looking…
