For future prosperity... There is a slightly simpler way to handle it. A) In the material editor, assign a gradient/gradient ramp to the diffuse slot of a material, go into that map slot. B) Set the map channel to 2, this will cause only this map slot to use UV2. C) Apply another UVW Unwrap modifier (you can delete this…
well i was talking mainly about hand painting and hand sculpting, but i get what you are saying. regarding SD, i agree that it automates lot of the repeatation and redundancy in workflow but for what it adds it seems to take away lot more. i mean those things you mentions doesnt even bother me that much because 80% of what…
I think statistically speaking, the odds of making good money in a small grassroots start up company is slightly better than being hit by lightning. Here's the breaks: amazing, catastrophically good art doesn't make a good game, not even close. Any number of great artists could band together with the intent of making an…
part of a long email that was sent around at work from HR How long can an infected person spread this virus to others? People infected with seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu shed virus and may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. This can be longer in some people, especially children and…
Just gave it a go. I was kinda hoping for more of a "hey lets go back in time and F stuff up!" kind of feel. But it was pretty fun mowing down enemy soldiers with those overpowered guns. It'd be kinda cool if enemies after X kills in Y seconds would just turn tail and run from you, and the game became a sadistic "run down…

I was thinking abut modelling those dogtags but finally decided that it was too much unnecessary geometry for such a small thing i had version baked on floating…

You gotta put the details to the specific material defined by the colour map. If you put detail thingos in the Environment tab, it applies to the whole texture. +1 to using Marmoset as my previewer, although it REALLY annoys me that I have to manually put the gloss map in the alpha of my spec for marmoset, annoying…
Hey! Sorry for the off topic but THANKS for the comments and critiques you give to other artists in this forum. I'm a newbie trying to get to the videogame industry, learning a lot of digital painting and 3D just by myself and a pair of your posts helped me more than days of randomly stumbling through the internet looking…
Keep in mind that, except for animators & f/x artists, the still images in your gallery are far more important than your demo reel. I know art schools still emphasize the demo reel, but it is far more important for prospective employers to study your work in detail at their leisure. Create a page for each project, and…
