Re: TimeBurner | Aspiring Artist
Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, there are certainly many things I must improve. The Walther has 6.3k, the SVD has 33.7k, and the P90 has 11.6k triangular faces. I did become too generous on the poly count, knowing it is for first person view, but mainly because it's just for my portfolio. I am certain I could lessen… -
Re: Using Marmoset vs UE4 for portfolio work?
I've hired a number of artists over the years and I never gave a toss what they present the work in. While it's nice to see interactive demonstrations, as soon as an artist comes across an in house engine all that fancy Ue4 Shader experience is no help to them and there's no way they're getting lighting as sexy as… -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
cw, I noticed you use a flyout menu for adding modifiers rather than faffing around with the list - is that some kind of customisable shortcut menu? Further question: Half of the time when I open the UVW Editor, it doesn't let me use the freeform scaling handles - if I close and reopen the editor, it usually works.… -

Re: Portfolio Review - Environment Art
BARDLER: I tend to agree. I was thinking about re-visiting the medals and giving them a proper unwrapping and retexturing so I can show off texture maps, but primarily to land closer to "realistic." I suppose I could do the same with the basement, but that's quite a lot of retexturing. I'll probably just do something… -
Re: [Portfolio] Jimmy pereira
printer looks good. Remember to show wireframes and the maps with nice high res renders. The reason I say to have a set art style is for a few reasons. 1) Your art style should represent what types of studios you want to work at in the future. Think about it... say you want to work at Treyarch or Infinity Ward (Call of… -
Re: Wendy's hand-painted material practice
Thanks guys! I will definitely be making more of these. And not just Quake 2 items, because I need to practice non-sci-fi materials as well, LOL. XD Here's the next prop, the quad damage. I had fun figuring out the heavily rusted nails. I've never been particularly good at making heavily textured surfaces, all of my… -
Re: The Forgotten Temple
First, I must pat myself on the back. Alright. I like where this is going! :D I like your plans for adding foliage and decking the walls a little bit (roots and some cracks seem like a good idea). I don't know too much about lighting, so someone else will have to help you with that, although so far I think what you have is… -
Re: Darth Vader low-poly Character
Eh, I think the 9,266 looks far more accurate. The model could use a fair bit of optimization but unless he's hiding a TON of tris somewhere, this model doesn't look to be 18,000 tris. Anyway, model is looking decent, though the head especially could use a lot of optimization, you've modeled some things out that would be… -
Re: COMPLETED! UE4 Environment: Tales from the Loop - Simon Stalenhag
I'd recommend picking the three most interesting angles for screenshots, make a video with a smoothly-moving camera, and show some wireframes & textures for a couple specific props. As for the content itself, I like how the original painting had an early-morning feel to the lighting, which you've kind of lost here. The…
