Help me about my career
Hello. Sorry for my bad english :smiley: I'm 3d generalist, but I'm not on high level in anything. Actually, I am far from high level. Now I want to learn and be advance in just one thing. My goal is to work as a freelancer on big projects. So, my question is: What is the best part of CG to learn so I can work as a… -
Re: Sci-Fi Cliff Side Scene
I think the scale of the normal map textures are throwing the scale of the buildings way off, but only on the walkways.. The bump/normal detail is far too large for how big the buildings should be. also I think you could refine the rusty top part of the walkways a bit more (along with scaling it down like the other… -
Re: Japanese develop 'female' android
i'm getting a little tired of everyone parroting the uncanny valley business every time questions of either humaniform robots or, more commonly, CG people come up. while it does help explain why these kind of things can be highly unsettling, there's more to it than that. and in the case of this particular robot, the stated… -
Re: Normal Maps
Hey, thanks for the reply Eric. Doom 3 would be great. In fact I used Doom 3 to normal map one of my models and I really got into it, but it was on a friend's computer and I doubt it would run on my machine. Guess its worth a shot though. I'll try and track down that thread you mentioned, or if anyone knows the thread… -
Re: Portfolio and Career Advice
Just curious, as to whether there are any openings or internships going at WETA and/or indeed 3D roles in non entertainment industries such as archvis, product vis, industrial design, medical, aeronautical sims, for example? By the way I'm coincidently an ex-pat Kiwi myself, transplanted across the ditch decades ago and… -
Re: Health, nutrition, and stamina as an artist.
So-called 'multi vitamins' are a pure scam. Just eat more healthy shit. Raw foods like oats, nuts, fruit, veg. Plenty of fish and fish oil. Stay off the processed 'lazy man's' rubbish. My left wrist has been broken since 2002 (one of the bones is snapped clean) and arthritis has since developed. My right wrist has 50… -
Re: Hut Haven
Stylistically, it looks smashing! Really fun and really soft and fuzzy. Design-wise, it looks like it could use some polish. For example, the transitions from plants to ground and mushrooms to trees and stuff like that could look a little better. Right now it looks "CG" first, stylized second, if that makes sense. Also,… -
Re: to college or not to college?
Thanks for the links Rick. Hadn't seen some of those. Unfortunately I kind of just passed a plateau in CG, and all the work I do have is from before that (which means it sucks pretty bad, hah) and it's before I decided for sure I want to do environment art for games (so the models don't have game specifications). I'm… -
Re: Space seen Crit please?
why i think jjabrams micheal "flare" bay use lens flare- back in the old days (before cg) lens flare was an artifact of filming... it was generally frowned upon because it added a layer between the viewer and the action...directors generally wanted you to feel like you are there, and lensflare reminds you that you that you… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
...and yet despite an all pervasive stagnated tech point of view premised here, audiences today are able to enjoy via their collective heart's content whatever CG entertainment preference be it interactive, Film/TV or other, whereby enabling a multi billion dollar industry globally employing thousands too…
