I'm glad you like it! As for loosing the characters, I think a bit of depth indication like atmospheric perspective could have helped, but I felt like I had spend the amount of time I could justify for it. And partly, I guess I ended up growing more attached to the diorama itself than the actual characters, but that might…
I've worked with plenty of AM graduates and have nothing but good things to say about their attitude and abilities (excluding a minority attitude of clique-ish behavior that is unfortunate). That said, I wouldn't go into the experience with the expectation that the school is a slice of heaven. AM has grown very quickly…
Man, im super pumped still about the new consoles, im still in love with games and playing games, and making game art. Haven't really grown up lol. I think thats partly to do with me not absorbing much of what anyone says anymore about most things in social media. Everyones a critic, everyones spoiling things. I go out of…
Well.... Devil's Advocate: It is a fairly 'generic' oriental theme. They both look nice and both pretty similar, but neither imo really stands out from what a basic oriental themed set would look like. Unfortunately unless you have some VERY UNIQUE and original ideas it's hard to claim you're the only one with that idea or…
Lotekk - Thanks for the crits, yeah the bricks and wood or atleast the wood could use another pass and I'll probably give them one when I find time. I too appreciate the spiffy look of the bricks. ZacD - I agree, I didnt change much in it texture and modelwise though besides the engine. Just removed one wall and extended…
The thing with women is that often we make fights about one thing, but we're mad about something completely different.. Maybe I'm reading into this, but have you thought that maybe you are thinking of the wrong issues? It's probably not really money - as you've said multiple times you pay your bills. Also, as you said when…
Overall this is looking very nice, so here's some nitpicky stuff that would make it match to the concept even better: In the concept the shapes of the objects are more quirky and exaggerated. Look for instance how thick and unevenly shaped the scrolls are in the concept, and how large and rounded the goopy drips on the…
Is weekend already over? Little closer to to what I want but still a lot to tweak. Feels like I´m just playing with the shaders here and not so much with the models and textures :) I tweaked the ground shader to blend better with the different textures. I did also add more control for blending the normal maps so now I can…
An entry level printer is a couple thousand, a 20k printer is nice but by no means a super serious pro printer. Nobody gets into business to do a thing one time. I think Randy in cryptomonicon said that. The guy didn't buy a 20k printer for this one job, he obviously plans to use the thing over and over again. If you…
Work In Progress (WIP) An artist uploads images and text periodically as they work on a new piece of art. They ask viewers for critique: commentary on what is working well versus what needs improvement. The artist uses this feedback to improve their artwork, and post the next in-progress image. This is repeated until the…
