Cipher (not registered) Project name: (Working in Progress) Brief description: Tactic Turned based RPG battle engine with a new twist. (World game play is still in discussion). You know how in RPG games all you do is attack... attack and attack... maybe heal a little bit... but most of the time, you attack or get attacked.…
3 point lighting is your friend. There is a lot of reading to be found on the intertron, but I'll give you the skinny version. I'll mostly talk in terms of Max however most of this translates to just about any 3D app and most game engines you plan on using. This is geared toward people who have tried to light a scene and…
Hi guys, Auke here. Visual Storyteller and Lead Environment Artist at Sooii. In the last year I learned a lot about landscape creation and besides Unreal, I used a lot of different tools to get the result I was looking for. My journey began with World Machine and I started to love and hate it. The results were amazing, but…
3 years or 3 titles actually is HR short hand for; "We don't want to train you, so on top of being a good artist, you'll need to know how to work under deadlines and with restrictions". I know it can seem like the man is trying to keep you down. But really it's your portfolio and what it contains that keeps you out, even…
The normal map pipeline is very well established and gives the best results today, but like perna says there are tool chain issues and people are still screwing it up, in both art and code. A lot of guys are old pros at making normal maps, so much so that it must seem easy. But I think there are a lot of hardships there,…
Thank you so much guys, your critiques are extremely helpful! Here's a character bio I came up with, maybe this will help you understand what I was thinking about while designing him: The members of the Royal Guard of the High King are intimidating soldiers. The King, plucking his guard from the ranks of the finest…
I understand the style you speak of, and this is not it. This game presents a LOT of different art style. In most cases the art itself is ok, but when clashed together all these different styles are a complete train wreck. (1) Things that may be hitting the "Indian Miniature Painting style" are most of the backgrounds,…
ParoXum: Thanks mate :) I did use glue meshes before, but I found it to be not very flexible when used to cover the seams on terrain. It works great for unique meshes though and I used that method for the broken walls and roof. Yeah, I was quite surprised myself to see that multiple UVW channels would cause such issues. I…
[A reference image AND an update...man I'm slow...] Got a little carried away with this. Consider it a Concept Tag? The biggest thing it's missing is value contrast. The eye will evaluate value before hue or saturation (which the piece also seem to be missing). You can have all sorts of crazy colors over your geisha, but…
