Something else I wanted to share on the offchance it was helpful to anyone looking, is what I'm using for a sketchbook. I encountered a problem last year where the sketchbooks I was buying from a local art store were removed from stock. All of my sketching is done with a regular mechanical pencil, and paper with a lot of…
I have finished this project a few weeks ago but just thought that I would post a breakdown of the final stages of the development process here. In the last video I posted I had updated with a load of explosions, some debris and some rigid body destruction. But the final video is here: [ame="…
You might find this link useful in understanding how to think about texture sizes a little bit more: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134911 You should also feel free to browse other people's environment work on the forums and see how they did things, as well as maybe look at the featured artwork section in…
spoiler alert: everything is hard. :P If your goal is to get a position at a AAA studio, then specialize. either become and amazing animator or an insanely good artist. being ok-good at both will leave you with muddled results when it comes to recruiters coming at you, and how you are perceived. look through some artists…
Hi. These questions are a little hard to answer, but I try.So... First We need to about triangle count, not polygon count, because this is what really matters in this viewpoint.

I have thought a little more about the story behind this scene, and will be working to incorporate elements of this into…

You seem like a posivite lad with lots of talent, but I feel it is very important that you know about the traps so many of us has fallen for in the past. Do not trust the management, get everything in writing. I know you don't care that much about overtime yet, but chances are…
From what i have seen from your posts (this one and others) you are headed down the path to failure. You seem to be rushing into a plan despite all the good advice contrary to it thats makes no sense and will only lead you to failure. Cali is expensive and no matter what situation you are you will have to find some sort of…
MMA is heading down the shitter, can you remember the last UFC card you've really enjoyed? GSP is superb, but he has turned into a boring lay and pray artist. 3 of Anderson Silva's last 4 fights have been sleep inducing jokes, and Fedor is still the best in the world, but who is there for him to fight? Especially outside…

The "problem" that looks like the desaturation of shadows is described in that same quote from David's website. There's a TL,DR at the end of this post.
