Allow yourself to take a break for a couple of days (but be specific!) to try and rid yourself of the guilt of not working. During this time, doodle out all the cool ideas you've been thinking of, just for fun. Browse some concept sites and find some awesome images. If you can think of something you really want to make,…
Hi all! We are looking for people to help make some games - the goal of the project is to create a *hobby* team that will eventually be able to learn, tackle bigger projects, and make some cool games. We work as team altogether, discussing options together, and making decisions with democratic votes. Nothing is super…
1. I usually do painting through the following method: a. Make sure I'm in the Blender Render mode. b. Use the Texture Paint Layer Manager. (Hit N in the 3d view to see the layer manager.) c. Be in GLSL shading mode. This allows you to use the shader properties to get your shading information. So, you can set up lights how…
Thanks for the positive feedback guys :) Didn't realize people were still looking at this thread. I finally found the time to sit down and tweak my lighting and post processing. Here are the results. I tried to make the scene should be a tad lighter while keeping the contrast between shaded and lit areas. I haven't checked…
Alright here's two exported versions, one CGFX for Maya and one FX for Max. I have not been able to confirm if the Max version works. I exported with the 3D Studio Max preset from Mental Mill. There's also some crosshatches and two ramps included if you want to try them out. The hatches aren't all perfectly tiling.…
I use max for everything, unless I have to. Well, for a max evangelist and modelling expert I gotta confess that I am really dissapointed in what they have shown for this release so far. The multiselect option should really be a global mode, rather than having to check it on in each edit poly object. Like the polygon cage…
Hey, I am definitely looking for feedback/critique, so please let me know what you think. A bit of background: I quit my retail job a couple months ago and have been scrambling to get some kind of a portfolio together. I've been doing 3d game art stuff for a bit less than a year, but I've done a lot of traditional art…
Just wanted to vent and express my frustration for a second :) I was recently let go from my job on April 8th; it sucks, but I wouldnt have enjoyed the work the studio is now doing, and I know it was a better choice for all to keep the artist they did, but thats water under the bridge and time for bigger, better, and more…
Hey Sythen, I've been trying to get the Wren theme working on my site and I've been running into an issue with the main portfolio page. The images aren't fixed to a set size thumbnail, so the combination of vertical and horizontal sizes creates big gaps of emptiness depending on the number of images. I'm not sure if I set…
