Re: Can I learn 3d modeling?
It's never to late too learn, period! I was in my early 40s roundabout 2004'sh when I'd grabbed an early Blender version and started to dig around inside. Since then I have to say at times a little hectic but nonetheless hand on heart it's been a blast thus far. Now I'm not saying it'll take as long acquiring a certain… -
Re: Average salary for freelance 3d artist?
I have a few questions guys. So now that we have found out how much we need to charge or goal salary, do we charge these rates even to indie devs working with engines like Unity? I see lots of "indie rates available" artists. So a normal week is 5 days 40 hour work week, say we have a lenient deadline, if none at all, do… -
Re: Modular workflow help
Level used to be done with planes but in this generation you should be able to use boxes easily without restraints. A problem that could arise and that I have had with planes is light blocking in UE4. Maybe I did something wrong, but I couldn't get the plane to block the light properly, even with a double sided shader. So… -
Re: [UDK] Chinese Courtyard Environment
Thanks for the advice! Played around with the lighting, not my strongest part as Im relatively new to UDK so Im going to need some help with that. Changed the environment colour to one more matching the skybox, made that darker and increased the intensity to 30. Also changed the bounce from 10 to 50 on the environment… -
Re: Good streams/talks to LISTEN to at work?
I burn through stuff to listen to while I work! I've found that shows that update on a regular weekly schedule are gold. If you can build up enough shows that update on time and last more than 40 min, you really eliminate on ever having to look for something to listen to while you should be working. 99 Percent Invisible is… -
Re: Portfolio wips
thanks :) If you have a look at this screen http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/482/r572.jpg (laptop atm, so can't make a new one from the lp), you can see that those bolts noticably stick out in fp view. If I was really trying to get squeeze out the last 100 tri's to get to a set number it could have been baked down, but… -
Re: Online education
I myself have not taken any CGMA courses but I am fans of quite a few of their instructors, some of which have produced tutorials in other venues if you want to check them out. I have heard nothing but good things though from others on here as well as a few classmates. As far as how they compare, I can't say with… -
Re: Hand painted texture crit
Heya- this is a great start! It always puts a smile on my face to see other artists working to get into the hand-painted style. :) Something to think about when referring to Blizzard's style is figuring out exactly which game you really love the aesthetic of- Diablo has different features that WoW has different features… -
Re: Preview: Close encounters and Rednecks
you know, i was thinking about it, and there's no reason to use standard 12 oz bottles anyway. I'll probably bump 'em up to 40 oz. bottles or 32 oz. cans (i think 32 oz budweiser cans would fit the color scheme). This helps with the scale issue and they look more like drunks. The more irresponsible and slobbish i can make… -
Re: Looks like BUsh, peoples!
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Hmmm, Dallas and Tarrant counties both are solid red! [/ QUOTE ] As cool as these maps are, they're still making a black-and-white depicition that isn't real. In blue counties there were often 40% red votes, and vice-versa. I'd like to know how much of a democrat vote the above mentioned counties got.…
