Re: New to polycount - Looking for feedback
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
hi beguiler, I'm also a student myself and new to polycount so my comments are probably weak, but I'll throw them in anyway. The eyeball veins need to have a falloff, it looks like you used a single brush that doesn't change diameter and it suddenly just decided to stop. You could also use a specular map, everything looks… -
Re: WIP - UE4 Modular Power plant level
Hi Vilmariina! ( also DAE student here ) Love the current scene so far but you could really push the materials because now everything looks kinda flat ( mostly roughness values ) and I guess you are currently doing so, get some layered materials in there and add some dirt (or snow etc.. ) on a top layer, that could really… -
Re: Best Zbrush users to learn from?
Good artists - too many to list here lol. Go to Zbrushcentral. You'll know what I mean. Memorable courses by the way, here's my list. Paul Gaboury. Everything you want to know about Zbrush 4R7 (with a side of mech) He's crazy, knows Zbrush inside out. He'll show you tons of things you wouldn't even imagine available inside… -
Re: Fighting Depression
I hit that low point once. It really really sucked. I was suffering from anxiety attacks, my girlfriend at the time dumped me. The employer that let me go, burned me out from several months of mandatory 7-day week (12 hour days), and had missed several paycheques. This required me to live in overdraft protection while… -
Re: GPU's for Autodesk Products
I have a Nvidia GT 750M in my laptop, works well with 3ds Max, etc. 3d softs, and games. Like I said before, when students of mine have AMD cards the drivers do not seem to offer an option to force apps to use the card. Instead many apps would default to the shitty motherboard GPU, usually an Intel one. Nvidia's control… -
Re: Making a short film, need some advice
Here are some excellent recent animations by students doing the same sort of project. You've probably seen them, but hey, you never know. Serious theme. http://vimeo.com/18008261 Making of 'Mighty Antlers': http://vimeo.com/20217307 http://vimeo.com/17914974 Comical. http://vimeo.com/27127177 http://vimeo.com/17535548… -
Re: Ian's Portfolio
I've gotta ask, why does the bottom right guy have so many abs? Overall I like your portfolio. Your low poly stuff is good. All the projects you've worked on is impressive for a student. Your 2d art and stuff in your misc section are kinda... meh. What I think you need to do is a next gen enviro. Just a small scene with… -
Re: Designer ore non Designer?
I had an argument with a student friend of mine over the term/title of "game designer" the other day. I don't feel anyone should consider themselves a game designer without intimate, if not entirely the most skillful knowledge of all systems that go into game development; they should know art and programming as well as be… -
Re: 2012 Environment Art DemoReel
Hey Rad - Grats on graduation! Welcome to the suck >:) The portfolio scope is decent for a student. You have the content quantity here, it's just like you said - onto better projects. The main thing I'd focus on and think about is how to make things look current gen. Deriving normals from high poly, cube maps in your… -
Re: Portfolio- Matt Strutton, Environment Artist
If you save those images in the menu with any compression one more time I am going to kick the living shit out of you.. It makes decent images look like first year student crap! Also, when making the site graphics, especially if you use black stuff on a light background, make sure the edges are clean and smooth, so no…
