Re: AR design
great feedback! GarageBay 9: yeah, i really wanna have a good concept before i start building it in 3d. usually i don't put much time into a concept and don't really do any research. a lot of artists probably start out this way =) Grimm_Wrecking: that's a really cool bull-pup version you did. =) but i'm still kind of set… -

Re: Deus Ex Pistol
@jordan: thanks. @garagebay: thanks, those images really helped out. @roostermap: its a realtime shot (aside from the one with DOF). using 3point shader, standard 3 point light setup. reflections are one of the .dds files found from Laurens Corijn's site. for the most part on the shader i didnt mess with too many settings… -
Re: Warrior Female Bust
I agree with garageBay about the tats/paint across the upper chest. My first thought was "Man that white outlining would be a bitch." Hair is a bit on the lifeless/plastic side. Nice overall form, but its not shining like hair. The lebret piece is of a much finer metalworked quality than anything else she has on. It… -
Re: Lara Croft
Lol. Well Garagebay your post was interesting to read. Yeah well. My original intent was to try and create a combination of a realistic Angelina Jolie in the Underworld outfit. After modeling Jolie's face I found it to be a difficult face to get to look right, so I started using Olivia Wilde as a reference, lol. She does… -
Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
Garagebay, Nice work first of all, the high poly mesh looks great and your bake looks like it's doing its job very well. Your textures are also very nice although I feel you can push the specular a little bit more, particularly along the edges and chippings. As bluntly stated above, depending on the engine, the tri-count… -
Re: HATRED: has senseless violence in video game gone too far? (Yes)...
Yeah, that's a better way to put it than what I originally wrote. I feel that this is where it gets really murky. The divide between what can be considered as a backlash and an attempt to silence someone is nearly impossible to make. I believe we tend to assume that if someone is suffering from consequences of their words,… -
Re: The other half of the Starving Artist experience: Homeless Artist
At the risk of derailing - there's a reason I keep hearing everyone say not to get into game art unless you _love_ doing it. Unless you're a rockstar in the industry, pay will be okay at best, job security non-existent unless you work for Blizzard or 2/3 other companies that don't lay off with every cycle (even then it's… -

Re: [WIP] AK-47
just FYI, the references youve used arent of an actual AK. It's like a movie prop or something. Gun nerds would know the difference (it's a question of whether that bothers you I guess. Keep in mind plenty of FPS players notice the difference) I know it can be hard to pick up on all the little details and i know people…
