Re: Confused about everthing, depressed in the process.
Better off leaving this attitude to deviantArt diary entries tbh. Every post of yours in this thread has been 'Oh I'm so terrible'. This might get the sympathy vote on deviantArt, but if you talk to a potential recruiter like this, it will be a huge turn-off. Start with small projects, small self-contained tutorials. Of… -
Re: Hand painted things!
Cool that you are practicing hand painting with these, but I honestly think that doing weapons is NOT the best choice. The thing is, you could simply project from those concepts and do a little clean up work and then done. If you are doing these from scratch, (which I am assuming you are) you will certainly learn stuff… -
Re: Curvy 3D 3.0 Sculpting
Also on the subject of orthographic views : There are indeed times where it is useful to switch to them, but the actual implementation of the switch is important too. For instance like MP said, Zbrush has shift-click-drag to snap the camera to these views ; in the case of Curvy, I could see something like a hotkey… -
Re: Share your blockin models...
I do quite a lot of blockouts for concepting, as well as for in-game assets, and I tend to wedge primitives together for more blocky forms, and use shell pieces for more organic-looking stuff. So for instance, with the buggy blockout below, for the body I think I just started with a plane with a few divisions and extruded… -
Re: [UE4] Rowan - Games Art Project [WIP]
HELLO WORLD!!! I'm currently working on the main antagonist. What I am about to show you is definitely WIP but feedback is always appreciated. These models aren't very detailed as they will be retopologised before sculpting all the finer detail. So first, I'll show off the clothing concepts I did. They're quick and dirty,… -
Re: [WIP] Modular - medieval church environment (UDK)
From an architecture point of view, the whole church is quite low in height still you created very large supports on its side that usually serve as a structure reinforcement to help it stand up. It's weird because the photo references you have are not bugging me on this point. There's an obvious butterfly effect in the… -
Re: Transformers 2: Worst Movie of the Year (Multiple Categories!)
TF2 was rushed as hell, if you watch closely there are even some reused scenes from the first movie (asteroids falling) and there's a scene with Soundwave that is seen twice too. I love the first one, but the second had too many problems from outset that hurt the production. First off, the writers strike meant that Bay… -
Re: Maya "Send to unreal"
Yea, "send to" at best will usually crash something, or never make it. Personally I rather use scripts that fit my particular workflow. It doesn't take much to create them and once you do, they're great. You can... * Batch export a bunch of models from one scene or multiple. * Have it move a model to the scene origin,… -
Re: Floaters or extra triangles - what's best performance wise?
Racer's little minitutorial, while helpful only really covers one side of the issue, there are certain pros and cons to each. pros of using more mesh chunks: 1. Can use less geometry 2. Can use "cleaner" geometry, ie less long thin triangles, which are generally bad cons of using more: 1. Much harder to get a "seamless"… -
Re: Polyphasic Sleep
I tried a polyphasic sleep schedule about 5 years ago and kept up with it for about 8 months. If I remember right, I did a 1.5 hr nap around midnight, then several naps throughout the day to total up about 3 hrs a sleep a day. I mostly did it just to see if I could. It was an interesting experience to say the least, and I…
