Re: Character Art : Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag
Hey Rhye, These are some amazing art, I really liked your models, texture. These have inspired me thoroughly. Would you mind if I ask some question on the texture process? 1) what maps do you bake and what software do you use for making the diffuse map 2) how you treat those bakes (I mean blending mode, opacity and what is… -
Re: The Definitive College Answer
My point is that the paper itself has no value, which is what your friend's proverb seems to suggest. I wouldn't save my diplomas in a fire, either, but that doesn't mean I don't value my education. Where is everyone looking to go to school that has such back-breaking debt? With a combination of scholarships, grants and… -
Re: Dropship X99
MODEL It looks too high for an RTS, but aside from that: You're wasting a lot of polies on the sides of the main ship. |||||| \|/\|/ |||||| | | |||||| | | |||||| | | bad good would save you a good 300 or so polies per side I think. You should also use this on the propellors. The properllors also need less sides than the… -
Re: Making Art tests and not getting response from employers
Everything you wrote sounds reasonable. Time is money but it goes both ways. You cant make a game without people. There will come a time when people wont be necessary and companies will gladly do without them, but for now we are still necessary. I respect studios for providing the chance to make a living at what I love,… -
Re: Comicon 2014
i have entered. but my attitude toward it is very different to my attitude toward past "huge competitions". previously i've entered all full of gusto, and within a few days, or the first two weeks i've run out of steam and i finally figured out why. I've always felt overwhelmed by all of the big gun artists entering... the… -
Re: M4 Loaded
I have to agree here, IMO your site is quite busy and actually detracts from the high quality of your art content. Right now 80% of your website is flashy fonts, logos, decals and a huge render, then you have these fairly small thumbnails of your actual work(I realize the render is your actual work too, but still). I… -
Re: Adding details on models in Zbrush, then bake a normal map?
Baking in Zbrush simply captures the difference between subdivision levels. It worked ok a decade ago if you were sculpting details via alpha brushes, but it's not so great if you are actually added new geometry. If you add new geometry - even something minor like an inserted screw - then that geometry needs to exist on… -
Re: 3rd Year University Student Portfolio Advice
Regards to the Sci-fi scene in your showreel, I know you don't want to be an FX artist, but you might want to edit that hologram effect in the center, its quite a well know tutorial and kinda looks a bit odd that it explodes into the room. Might be worth just having the sphere bit rotating and drop the Explodey bit. The… -
Re: Vertex painting / texture blending
well, lets say you have a wall mesh that is repeated X number of times. if you go the traditional route and just give it a unique texture, all the walls will have the same texture and it will be obvious. (unless you break it up with decals or have multiple versions of the wall texture, each a little different). if you go… -
Re: [UPDATED] Pre-Dom War V - Caution
It's really a shame what's all this thing. I remember reading the DW description on the GA site: DW is a non lucrative world wide challenge or something like that. Yes It would be easier to say we do not care seeing our work sold, yes it would be a better way to see the contest reach its end in shot delays and maybe some…
