Re: Failed ArenaNet character art test
"Polycount: Its a target, not a limit" In my opinion, I don't think it's artistically at fault, it's an intern position not actual character artist. It seems you forced yourself to go down a few polycounts to match it. You could have reduced it a lot of areas, and also could have used more alpha planes. Here have a good… -
Re: Are MSI Laptops really good?
Perna, I agree with that sentiment as well, though only to an extent. Brand is important when you need to consider the support that comes along with it. MSI is a taiwanese company for example, while they may have good products, their customer support can be horrible. So in a sense knowing the brand and what comes alongside… -
Re: HK 416 rifle with attachments
I have pretty extensive experience building M4 systems in both airsoft and "real steel", and can say that most middle to high end airsoft guns are a near 100% external replica of the real weapons I had worked on. That being said, yes you should take caution using airsoft as reference, but also just using any m4 style… -
Re: Metro 2033 - Fan Art
@pikamau5 I took about 20 photographs of the rock from different angles with my camera, the technique I used is almost identical to the Ethan Carter guys. They covered it pretty extensively here: http://www.theastronauts.com/2014/03/visual-revolution-vanishing-ethan-carter/ I can share some of my source photos etc if you… -
Re: Let He who cast the first stone
Hahaha you are a gentlemen Seforin :) Funny thing is that I played Halo through all my years and drank a ton of beer, and skipped classes to go on a trip to Ohio state to watch the OSU/Michigan game. I also played Halo professionally (Mlg), until I just stopped with all the distractions and worked on my art. I do agree… -
Re: Max Script Batch stuff
Should be simple to do. Especially if all your files to be processed are in one directory then it's really easy. files = getFiles "c:\\foo\\*.max"for f in files do ( loadMAXFile f; -- this would load each max file found in turn -- so you would do something like: -- call load function -- save file -- etc.) Obviously just… -
Re: Are Mobile games the wave of the future?
@Richard - Yes I agree I'm very impressed how hand held consoles have come along over the last 20 years from having black and white gameboy's to things like the PSP and Nintendo DS it wouldn't be too inconceivable if within another 10 years we got a another leap in the quality of Iphone/ Mobile games. When the article… -
Re: [Portfolio Review] Chris Stone - Environment Artist
The quality of your work is already significantly better than most graduates, including myself at the time of graduation. If anything, I would note that you are missing more organic work - such as rocks, vegetation, etc. - and texturing breakdowns for your current work, so I can see your UV layout proficiency and attention… -
Re: Need advice about my modeling program
Personally, I recommend you perhaps write plugins (or patches, in the case of opensource ) for already popular software. There are already plenty of small modeling applications that have little to no chance of competing. Having 'simplified' modeling (and only modeling) software with power-user features seems very strange… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
For modeling/rendering/baking it's unbeatable imho. I've worked with most 3D apps (except Cinema 4D) and the tools and workflow in Modo is the best i've come across. I used lightwave (which has a similar interface/workflow) extensively before switching to modo, but I think it's a lot easier to learn than max or maya. It's…
