Re: [UE4] Making Ships - Sails of War
Thank you so much for your comment! It points - in part - at things I noted down myself. I think one reason it looks much more like a wooden toy model then a real ship is the lack of ropes. Ropes to tie down stuff, loose ends of the rigging etc. It's indeed one thing I will do going forward and also likely revisit the… -
Re: Retopo G - Retopology Tool For Maya
Well, I think there are two issues here: one is that you can still use this as a portfolio piece and distribute it at the same time (whether for sale or not). In fact, it's likely that making it available in one way or another will get you far more attention than just sticking it on your site. The second is that selling… -
Re: PC Community Feedback: Petrol/Blood (and contests in general)
If you were interested but didn't enter, what was the reason? The scope was too large, if it were just a vehicle I probably would have taken part. Then again, my work schedule takes priority and I hardly have time to work on my own things anymore. How did you feel about the deadline? Tight, especially for someone who… -
Re: Teaching 3D at High School
Please teach them the entire work flow on a really basic low poly project. I had 3d classes in high school for 2 years, and by the end of it, most students still did not know how to do a proper uv map. My first sugestion would do UI first, then walk through creating a 200 tri model, like a wooden toy sword, or a lamp post,… -
Re: Low Poly Barrel Critique - Work in Progress
The wood looks pretty good. Except for a weird band along the top outside. Also the bottom edge is strangely darkened, looks like the normal map is not aligned properly. I would add mesh for the metal hoops, so you get some silhouette. Also the metal seems to be lower resolution than the wood, it looks blurry and seems to… -
Re: Your favourite artbooks
Not strictly "Art of.... X" books, but books about art which I've found the most useful and inspiring. To be honest I'd recommend not actually looking at "Art of XYZ Game" books, and actually go back to the roots of architecture and industrial design and comics etc Universal Principles of Design - I would wholeheartedly… -
Re: New ZBrush @ZBrush Summit
After reading comments, I think one point particularly is missing: Pixologic will give the next r7 with those new tools just as a free upgrade, which isn't so bad, right? I mean it's not like other big companies do making you PAY for the new version with, yeap, new tools and feature, but with new bugs with the previous… -
Re: David's Improvement Thread : CC Welcomed!
It is overwhelming. And I can give you tons of different advice and comments, but the only advice I wish someone gave me at the start of my concept art adventure was; be faithful to yourself ~ it sounds really philosophical but it's quite simple. Before this I did a ton of art when I was younger, mostly photo manipulation… -
Re: Trying to get rid of jagged edges
I think I forgot to relax the UVs before I started painting the textures. No I haven't really tested the texture in an actual package, with a proper material/shader setup. I do understand about whether or not to bother with the jaggies since it probably will not be seen because the head and neck are going to be in the way.… -
Re: [WIP] Forest Tale scene
Wow I'm very surprised I am the first one to comment on this piece. First of all I wish you luck in the final stretch of your degree, I was there earlier this year so I know how it feels. I also understand your dilemma regarding portfolio work, I was the same way at the end of my schooling, and I am paying for it now with…
