Re: Drawing Fundamentals
@moof Yes, you are correct. The number one way to improve is by doing; however, doing with direction will help you improve even faster.

Re: [UDK] When Nature Reclaims The City (Revisit)
Thanks! I guess you're referring to the trash bags. So for the first trash bag I just started sculpting in Zbrush from a sphere and using Dynamesh. It's a good way to spread the amount of detail after roughing in the shapes, it's a bit more work though. For the second and third bag I used a cloth simulated piece of geo.… -
Re: My portfolio site is up
Guys, Thank you so much for pointers, and your advises. I will definitely put my resume up tonight. As for environments, those pieces there are done in my free time that is usually very limited.

i think its more of a personal thing. i generally load the source image in a modeling program (for me, Maya), put it on a plane and adjust the plane so that the image isnt stretched. from there i kinda go block by block, starting with things like the walls and floors. i start with the bigger objects first as places of… -
Re: crippling problem in vista 64
Yes I had this problem couple of months ago, it would crash upon starting any program that uses the gfx card intensively such as games and 3d max etc. I went through the same thing you're doing now trying all sorts of uninstalling, reinstalling, updating drivers, rolling them back, editing registry, testing the RAM and… -
Re: THoughts on the future of the Industry.
A lot comes down to one thing. Things change when they pay you for your talent. The idea that you will get to do what you want to do and when you want to do it is sold for a few pieces of silver. As far as games as a business goes its just starting to come of age. What was once looked on as a form of art is now starting… -

Re: Sketch Thread 2006
[ QUOTE ] Thanks Hawken, I love a good crit, this was helpful. Here's one of Tan that I did which is even more muddy than the bjork one I did it before reading your post. I might do the next ones starting with linework to nail down proportions first because moving features around has made things harder. I also want to… -
Re: Speaking of Crunch. A question.
They get payed assloads more (esspecially in the US) because they know their stuff. So even if "they" from time to time go out to get some coke that isnt their main task. On Tuesday I got another 3 days to finish a char before on Monday I should start on a different project. I went to the producer and said I can spend my…
