Hey Ryan, Just wanted to thank you for Crazy Bump, all of Epic is slowly converting to it, and those that are slower have simply not been shown it yet. It really is a VAST improvement over the alternatives out there and can provide a huge speed boost to a process that is overly long and time consuming. If theres one…
I'm using primarily Opera because I simply prefer the UI and not having to reload pages when pressing the back button. Some websites won't load in Opera (Nintendo of Europe's broken POS website, for example), for those I use Firefox. I'm breaking a few more sites by only accepting cookies from websites I manually added to…
Everyone else's advice seems solid, the one piece I can give you is make sure your stuff is fully textured and finished when put in a portfolio. High-poly models without textures on any of them on a portfolio gives off a feeling of a lack of understanding of a certain aspect like texturing or the ability to finish a…
____________________________________________________________________________________________ PLANNING The intention of making this scene was to practice visual storytelling and practice static lighting in Unreal. I had little to no intention of making it very dynamic or interactive, however I would want it playable at a…
Hi all, Thanks for the comments. I'll try to answer everyone's questions: Yes the lighting is very flat. This is going to be in-game so I'm not going to waste time lighting it in max. I plan to rough the materials up a bit with some overlays for moss etc. Right now the entire cabin is built from one log material so if I…
I like your work a lot, although, some of it could be removed for sure to shine what you can do well. The ray gun is awesome and something I would highly recommend taking to game res :thumbup: I find almost everything about your portfolio comes back to this following question, what do you want to be? Which right now isn't…
Components needed: Motherboard CPU RAM PSU - It's important to choose a good power supply, you'd might as well go for some power right away as well, so you don't need a new one when you're buying new parts. If you buy a 500-600W now, it might be just a little bit too weak the next time you're gonna upgrade, but something…
"What's the atmosphere like?" I can only talk about the studios I've been to which now is up to three. In essence they were relaxed but it was also dependent on what state the project was in. It's always a little bit awkward being the new guy in the art-team, if nobody else does the first-move and greet you properly you…
Hi everyone ! It as been long before posting because I've been working really hard by the past few weeks. My gothic cathedral scene starts to look like something and I keep building it each day. Today, I want to write about my modeling process to document my progress and also to know if you guys have better, faster and…
^^sounds about right. Your software choices make sense if that's what works for you. If you really want to handle a "content creation pipeline" though I think you should also be spending time on the actual art direction if you haven't already, as well as making prototype artwork to see how the actual game itself is going…
