OK, I'm going to pick on some of the individual assets here seeing as most of the composition areas I would have commented on have already been covered. First off I think the shrubs look unrealistic, the leaves are all more or less straight, given the lack of water in an area like this I would expect to see some droopage…
Dan - Thanks for the great paint-over! I've kinda always wanted someone to do that...now I've got the pressure of making my scene look as cool as your touchups. I was planning on adding some hanging vines so it was nice to actually see what that would look like. The abundance of cracks and imperfections in the walls has…
Here's a shot with the bones more ashy/gray: http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/souldesigns/sam_04.jpg Skeleton only:http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/souldesigns/sam_05.jpg I see what you mean about the contrast. It defenitely does help to make the skeleton more visible. But the brown toned one has…
Beautiful as in interface or actual capability? Even on the luxology forums I see modo users complaining as well about the lack of good modeling capabilities for game art. It has a great renderer and adding some of those pixar like sub-d modifiers is good for animation and high poly work with the intent of rendering out a…
Well the thing is making portfolio art and being a game developer are different things, I didn't fully realize this until I started working on a full project outside of freelancing and basic "just art" stuff, even with a heavy modding background it was only then I truly grasped the difference. There's alot of things you…
Exactly. I don't know if you'd find this odd, but when I post a wip update on CGTalk, one of the things I try to do is find the thread with the least comments (there's more than a few that receive zero), and leave a crit. It's actually really easy to do - I think critting bad work is a lot easier than critting really…
It really depends on the company. You're not going to find a lot of "game designers" on a racing game. It's a simulator, you don't design things outside of maybe courses, controls, and interface. A racing game like need for speed that has you race against cops and has more imaginative gameplay would require more game…
Great inputs guys!!! its very appreciated. PixelMasher: Thanks!! Although I ve updated some parts, I still feel that crit still applies....the bicep needs some work, I made a quick fix so that the muscle is shorter and makes more sense but I am keeping in mind a hard brush work should help me wrap this up. nkoste: Great…
EQ, for me the case is perfect, really quite unlike the $40 rattle apart counterparts I've used in the past. It's rock solid, Like my monitors I'll pay a little more because they'll outlast the mo-bo, processor video card inside. For me I'd rather pay a little more and have something that lasts for a few systems. Even the…
Techsmith, how old is this son of yours? My kids love to watch me play my games, even though I won't let them play yet. I'll let my son do Marathon when he's twelve.. uh, next year! (holy crud...) My 8-yr-old daughter likes to watch me play GTA3, but I'll only let her when I'm doing the offroad challenges or looking for…
