Re: Mindset and working each channel at once ?
1 through 4 (and 5 to a large extent) can be a single step, it just depends on what kinds of materials you're working on. You may have already seen in the tutorials, that layering regular or smart materials and simply painting masks or using smart masks is a very common technique, particularly for edge wear. Working this… -
Re: LilyNion's Luminé
Don't worry! I'll look into it, thank you for the advice! For the desert, the city is so far away that it's not shown. I don't have any city structures and want to keep it that way, it's truely only based around the nature. I already used pictures as textures, but the .jpg threw it all away, however, I'll take a look at… -
Re: [PORTFOLIO] Emma Smith
I think the quality work is just expected though. I crit her site because this was her weak point in her art. As said on another thread... the site is an extension of your art and portfolio. I, personally am just a a strong believer in presentation making or breaking your art. And if you are truely badass at what you do… -
Re: [Need Advice] Something wrong with my Job Hunting method
@Eric Chadwick Thanks for your insights and the resources. I did read Pixel Masher's article couple times, it's super useful and keeps me motived. And I'll definitely look into the other thread, too. I was afraid of posting my art before, but you're right. Since I participated in the last ArtStation Challenge, I feel more… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
I like that everyone does barrels/crates/firehydrants. They are good standard objects against which people can sharpen their technical and execution skills without worrying about concept, and one can compare work in an apples-to-apples way to others. I think 3D scanned objects & materials are super cool and will be a net… -
Re: Street Fighter 4
SFIII:TS is THE perfect example of what a solid fighter should be, 2D or otherwise. It had a small number of very well developed and balanced players (to a certain extent). The animations were ridiculous and the art work was stunning. It was all about fighting, blocking, parrying, canceling and so forth. You don't have the… -
Re: Creating Low Poly From High Poly in Max
If the hp needs decimation to be imported into max, Meshlab's "quadric edge collapse decimation" is great. I don't know how it compares technically to Zbrush's Decimation Master or Polycruncher (now ProOptimizer), but the results look great to me and it's a lot faster. For taking stuff out of ZB that's too high for even… -
Re: Hellgate Demo
[ QUOTE ] Soul - Dunno why it's still in "beta". It did already go gold, they announced that a few weeks back now. I assume the beta was more for server stress testing than it was for the game though. [/ QUOTE ] Supposedly the beta is not in sync with the dev builds, so they weren't testing up-to-date code. People have… -
Re: E3-Nintendo
And how many of those people were between the ages of 17-30? And how many of them will be snagged once again by the fun/novelty of another Nintendo console that is once again doing something different? It is easy to question the longevity of the Wii. But then, Nintendo just announced its successor. They weren't expecting… -
Re: Is this the full content-creation pipeline?
@Deathstick Thanks for the content-rich feedback. Yes, I've been thinking about every single aspect you've mentioned, and then some. I would add to my list Houdini for FX and procedurals but that would be down the line. I've heard very good things about Houdini, but it is for specific kinds of content. The only thing I'm…
