Re: My Struggles As A 3D Artist
Harsh but true. Keep in mind anything on your website can be held against you. Also think more from the perspective of the user/viewer Programming is a valuable skill, but more so for smaller companies. Decide what you absolutely want to show and what might be better mentioned in your CV. If you include a game, make sure… -
Re: [Portfolio] Troy Mishler - 3D Environment Artist
I would get rid of all the logos, stats and borders on all your large images, because it's really not helping in my opinion. It's getting in the way. Jungle scene: some small grass blades around would help sell the ground and hide the lowpolyness of the terrain, but I like it, the lighting is interesting and the… -
Re: Steam Piston?
Euros are pretty much screw universally when it comes to electronics. Consoles, computers, cameras, you name it. It usually close to a 1:1 ratio even though the dollar is weaker. HOWEVER, prices in Europe generally include sales tax(VAT), and sales tax is MUCH higher in some European countries(up to 20%!) which has a lot… -
Re: Punching up level of character detail during design process
I will suggest this guy's channel on youtube: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnflBERf2zM&list=UUbdyjrrJAjDIACjCsjAGFAA&index=5&feature=plcp"]EPISODE 52 - Visual Library - YouTube[/ame] I have learnt a lot from his videos and I have improved on the 2d side of things.I think it has to do with one's visual library.If… -
Re: theoretical pbr question, how does energy conservation work?
alright i read those links, so here is my visaulisation to make sure i understand; 1. specular 2. angle of the specular reflection, based on the glossiness of the surface. if its wide its more spread out and thus weaker (energy conservation) 3. diffuse different materials have different amounts of specular reflections and… -
Re: Sketchbook: wake
@suburbbum-- some good points, and thanks. I think the idea with these animal pieces is to combine organic styling with heavy mechanical bits, and then overlay that tattooing and other specifically ornamental elements, like the masks in the back (though i didn't really render those ones out). My thoughts on these suits is… -
Wet surfaces
I've been working on this scene for the past couple of weeks, and I'm at the point where I want to texture what I have before moving on with the modeling. I tend to stay motivated when I work in chunks like that. Unfortunately, texturing is one of my weaker points because my school apparently didn't feel like it was… -
Help with texture painting.
HI guys I'm a longtime modeler but one of my weaker points is texture painting. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share one of their PSD's or such so I can take a good look and decipher the work flow. I have a base understanding of blocking out base color and light direction. But I would to see how some… -
Re: pelt mapping help!
Pelt isn't really ideal for that type of object with multiple separate sub-objects and those objects are so simple they should be unwrapped another way besides pelt. Pelt is more ideal for one continuous selection of complex faces, like skinning a beaver. You would probably find Peel and point to point edge selection in… -
Re: [Portfolio] Stefan Groenewoud
Nice guns, decent props, meh pillar. Your sci-fi scene is definitely your most appealing piece. You're missing all of the breakdown, construction and texture shots. Your other two environments are much weaker, but still show some progress. Keep working on your next environment and really push the lighting, color scheme and…
