Re: My Textures Suck Character Texturing Crits
Three very quick tips: 1 - think in terms of light, not in terms of color. Light dictates shapes. You can describe any shape just by describing its illumination, from spheres to knife-edged creases. The sharper the transition between light and dark, the sharper the edge. 2 - Don't use pure white or pure black except in the… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
It's definitely true that it's up to the user how far down the rabbit hole they want to travel. Nobody really needs to know exactly how their BRDF works unless it's their job to. That said, eventually rendering will be in a state where all that guess work or loose guidelines give way to a perfect set of rules. And I'm not… -
Re: Portfolio update
mr_ace: Good eye! I wasn't sure what to do with the pants. I started them out as something made out of fabric but then switched to leather. Right now, everything except the knees is leather. I might tone down the details in there a little bit and make them more "crisp". Shrike: Thanks, that's a good post :) Being good at… -
Re: Game Art University Portfolio
I don't really have as much to say in the 3d side, since my original portfolio was focused more on 2D concept art and I only switched to 3d recently, but the first thing I noticed with the knife was that there were signs of wear and tear on the knife, but nothing on the botton of the blade. The sharp bottom of the blade… -
Re: feedback on my demo reel
I enjoyed much of your hard surface work, and the modeling looked tight. In the spirit of nitpicking critiques however Maybe its just me but it took me a moment to grasp the opening scenes' composition. Each individual model looks good, and I appreciate the fact that there is a strong foreground, a mid-ground, and a… -

Re: What's the best way for render the big scene?
On the image, we can see a lot of distance and fog. So LOD and distance culling would help. Also, Its a question if you want to show the far things from closer too, or they are just in the background. Because then you could make them super lowpoly or even billboards, or just painted into the skydome. The style looks very… -
Re: Using Textures made by yourself or from websites
Depends on alot :) . Are you looking to make realistic or stylized textures? Being able to paint/create your own textures is great, I encourage you to practice that. But using photos as a base is also ok. In the past you would normally just head over to CGTextures and grab some base reference from there.… -
Re: The Maxx WIP

Re: Staying Motivated as an Artist
To echo what the others have said... Mentally you've hit "The Wall". Some people stay at the wall, other people climb over and some people turn around. For most people its the time when they start trying and failing. Alot. Its when they start trying things that they are not really confident in and requires genuine effort…
