We are seeking a digital sculptor to out source some of our projects. The project will involve several miniatures (gaming miniatures in 32mm height) We will provide the concept art front and rear view, more views if needed. This is a paid job and price will be negotiated based on model complexity as not all are the same.…
I'm still fairly new to rigging in Maya so forgive me if this is a bit of a nooby question. I'm having a consistent issue every time I rig. Basically, unless my joints are almost orthographically straight, my joints will bend and twist ridiculously when I do a simple drag of the IK along the Y axis. I'm following along on…
So I'm basically brand new here, but I wanted to share and improve my concept art. I'm interested in creating environments mostly (rather than characters). I typically leave things loose, but I still would like some feedback on my work. These are some things I did a few months ago that were done all digitally. Since then,…
Whats up guys. I know my way around photoshop pretty well when it comes to making textures for 3d models and stuff but I've never really done digital painting/concept art. This basically my first digital painting. I'm liking how it's looking so far but I'm having trouble painting believable reflection on the armor. Though…
[ QUOTE ] 'the industry'? So do you now mean videogames or graphic design, or are you still putting them both in the same basket? Whilst I agree that the average 3D artist salaries are too low, with certain stars aligned it's perfectly possible in either profession to earn very good money. I'm glad you made the right…
Not only are you ignorant, but you're really ignorant. Consumers choose what good art is. You think they can all make art? No. Therefore everybody's opinion matters. Critiquing on technique is different, but everyone does have eyes and a sense of style. The fact that your sentence about tablets being "the new paper" was…
Telltale found the niche and got into through having done many licensing-games and then scored a publishing and funding deal with gametap, they distributed sam & max exclusively to begin with. Without that deal they would've never been able to do it. With what money?, they've been wanting to make psychonauts 2 for quite…
well, I don't think you ever stop learning anatomy. It's definitely an ongoing thing. Here's my arsenal: Andrew Loomis Books: free online or get a reissue from amazon for roughly $30 George Bridgman: these books are awesome, they're cheap and his way of drawing is pretty similar to sculpting I've found. Scott Spencer:…
I went to the Ai of Washington, then I transferred to another Art Institute (Pittsburgh). GET OUT OF AIW NOW! If the facilities (or lack thereof) didn't scare you off, the fact that its 80k should (plus I think the tuition lock in was gone, so you're going to a shit school for a SHIT TON of money). If you HAVE to go to an…
Digital matte painting isn't really the same as plonking in a cg animated actor, which I think is what we're really looking at here. Speaking as someone who works with animatronics for a living as well as a long time fan of monster movies and practical effects and makeup work, I always enjoy seeing films take advantage…
