Thanks guys :) Rube: I have thought about it! I think there are positives and negatives associated with it -- if I ever wanted to do these things professionally I'm sure I'd have to learn to do that, but for now I think I'm happy just making one-offs. I've done enough casting to know this sort of thing is extremely…
Hi elementrix, nice and simple portfolio website, good job. I agree with the others, change the title font, it's too hard to read. Like REKLAS said it should be "A handpainted dungeon". I would make your contact button change color on hover, I didn't realize it was clickable until I accidentally clicked on it. You should…
Kaze: Fair enough,though, as far as I know it's pretty much a big no no to discuss politics in the work place as you're treading on thin ice in the land of HR. Discussing it over beers is a totally different story. It's just so far removed from our industry and even frowned upon, so why encourage it on a game dev forum?…
So far I've had unexpectedly good results with this. It's over 300, but you can catch it on sale at NCIX. It has been great on the eyes. I could only afford one, so I'm using a 19" crt as my second monitor. At 1980x1200 I find that I don't need the CRT on all the time -- rough modelling is fine, zbrush is fine, but I turn…
Jackablade: that's not what I'd heard, and reading up on it now, you seem to be wrong: "The science fiction first-person action game, is anticipated to be largely a remake of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay." -wikipedia "the decision to do a remake was because Microsoft could not make the Xbox 360…
an important thing suffeli has going on in his paintover that would help you out greatly are the contrast of shapes, specificly the colors of the edges of shapes - as he mentioned. Ie, the underside of the pec meets the abdomen with a deeper brown and lighter, saturated yellow. This higher contrast edge gives the illusion…
Probably the first thing you need to consider is whether you want this character to have a simple, cartoonish texture (like your upperbody) or a high detailed, realistic one (like the hooves and tail). Regardless of your choice, the fur phto you've used on the legs is pretty noisy. You might be able to balance it out with…
Son of a.... I just came to the realization i could have done a scene where a Redneck ship held together by duct tape crashed into a high tech alien world. Gah, that woulda been awesome. Oh well, Killingpeople i agree with all yer crits, i'll be sure to work on those issues in a bit. Still flushing out what exactly all…
I'm gonna take the side of Eric and Josh; I'm not a parent yet but when and if I am in the future, I'll definitely be taking an active role in filtering what my kids are exposed to. Not because I think playing gta too young will make them a serial killer, but because it might be upsetting to a kid too young to realize the…
[ QUOTE ] The problem with your lighting is lack of mood. Everything is flat shades of grey. You need color to give atmosphere. Create bluish moonlight to display a cold calm empty environment, and maybe warmer colors coming from lanterns and inside buildings to show warmth and add contrast, if that's what you're aiming…
