Re: [W.I.P] ZZ(ZOUTZUUR) Grenade 01 (Feedback is Welcome)
Alright, long time no post. I was struggling how to bake fine normal map. Thanks to Brian's help, I finally figured out why my normal is always bad. There are three things I must check before I bake the normal map. I will write down here for the people who are suffering because of bad normal map especially edge parts :-)… -
Re: Character Art - Homeless Traveller
100% agree w/ DDuckworth Especially on the pose... I'm bad at that too so don't take it bad - but it's like one of the easiest things to overlook and yet it makes a HUGE difference.. Have him just standing smokin' a cig or something.. or make a trashcan, have him leaning into it sideways with one arm and the other off to… -
Re: New Freelancer Looking for Crits
You have some huge gradients in you normal map. That means that you'r surface is always bent - with other words, the light will always be wrong on your models. How do you solve this? Stop inputing photos in to crazy bump or what ever you're using, without any thought. If you don't know how, google it. I promise you there… -
Re: Simple AO tip for skin
Yeah, this is what is nice about the gradient map method, you can easily assign different color gradients to different brightness values of image, to get rid of the monotone type coloring. This is a really bad workflow to rely on, because: 1. Its uv dependant, so your uvs need to be orientated in a specific way for it to… -
Re: [Portfolio] Patricia Herbert | Environment Art
If this wasn't the case, then we wouldn't be having this argument, and we would all be here patting her on the back with her original design ;) I'm not saying that a better website automatically = top of the pile. But if is bad design, regardless of the content, it can put you at the bottom. And like I said - "Looking for… -
Re: Uni project; Dino WIP

Thanks for your input :) I finished the retop and did a super quick… -
Re: Going to College for Game Art
A piece of paper wont set you apart from other people. Your art will. But, be it as it may, if you want to go to school, try to go to a school that has good teachers. Look at the instructors and evaluate years in the industry and if they are still in it. I got incredibly blessed to have such teachers that were on point… -
Re: JonJone's Info Dump on Portfolios & Resumes!
Sites like blogspot aren't setup properly for game art portfolios, they are primarily blogs. Someone that is hiring just wants to see your work efficiently and quickly. While there are some themes that make it better I have seen very few that don't have you digging through a bunch of older posts to see work. Wix actually… -
Re: Denmark refuses to apologize over Prophet cartoons
Its funny, i used to think of muslims as smart people who wanted peace. Now when i think of muslims i think of mindless folowers looking to kill any who think diffrent from them. I think that muslims need to have a jihad of all your extreemists. Then you could go back to having a good name as the peacefull religion. People… -
Re: Soul Calibur 2 Nightmare
i thought having some static highlighting on textures was bad? or is it ok if you're just doing the very low level highlighting, similar to shading? as for crits, the guys claw hand has hoirrble (none?) uv mapping resulting in a swirly mess. the colors just seem too bland. the textures do exhibit too obvious banding, you…
