i just had a message from someone elsewhere saying that the object they made had 7 different materials/shaders! no idea if thats what the engine was designed for, but it definately seems to go in the face to the usual stuff we get taught at polycount and in the cg community. also, currently I can't test out the models…
Hmmm I noticed that as well. A four year degree, was it full time? Because after four years on a course that teaches CG you should be at a much higher level than this. I teach on a games art course and your work is at our first year level, maybe mid way through the year, possibly earlier, and these are students who have…
but in the end you have to unwrap some mesh anyway if you want to bake it and use it for real time graphics. Ptex will start to get interesting when more tools support it and it becomes a viable option in the asset workflow or pipeline. Photoshop for example could use a serious update into the digital CG corner like a…
Neal Blevins (Also known as the SoulburnScripts guy) has a good discussion of this topic spread around the CG Education part of his site. http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/cg_education.htm He has a section called "The Truth About Specular Highlights" partway down the page here -…
[ QUOTE ] Way way way too much lame corney bullshit, Johny Depp and Geoffrey Rush are the only good reasons to see this film. Should have been cut to an hour and got rid of all the lame love story shit that was out of place nearly every single occasion it was shown. [/ QUOTE ] Earthquake speaks the truth. Depp, Rush, Davey…
Lovely stuff, as always Neox. That Chris Sanders tribute is still one of my favourite pieces of CG I've seen for a long time... so much character in that erm.... character! Looking forward to seeing what happens with Warsoup too, and the stuff you create with it. I don't commonly see much in the way of 'Style' in character…
For the sake of completeness, Dekard's source is w3schools.com. It is based on their website which is quite frequented as being a reference in web design. Anyway, as they state, those stats are biased on their target audience: As personal opinion I feel right to think the same: those who work in CG field might have higher…
Cool. I attempted to do this concept in 3D back in CG School. It was alot of fun, I still needa go back one day and finish it up properly, kinda rushed it off. lol. I would definitely agree with Rednaz though, block it out first. It will save you plenty of headaches, planning is one of the most important parts that should…
once you understand form and scale this stuff becomes easy enough to estimate. You aren't looking to do a technical blueprint of a car, which is how I started mind you with perfect orthographic views, but this is where the CG artist part comes in rather than just someone with technical skills to make a copy, its a lot more…
A lot of people used CG hub, they really don't care, and the quality of images on art station vs carbonmade is a big deal, the simplicity is what makes it look nice as well, it's clean. Although the image quality on yours is fine. Also did a suoper fast paintover. You really should try and push your materials so they are…
