Re: Which software do you love the most to work with (for whatever reason)?
I hesitate between Akeytsu and 3D-Coat, both for their intuitive/efficient/"hey, I almost never crash guys!", side. These softs works in two distinct fields of course, but to me it's their philosophy that's "magical ♥", and which makes them great to use all day long. These are part of the kind of software that you are… -
Re: Creating low poly and high poly for props workflow
Yeah the workflow is a little different for everybody but the basic principle stays the same. Personally I wouldn't ever detail a posed character because it makes modeling the attributes fiddley. I model in an A pose, whack a rig in then result and then pose it in the game engine. One way to way to get what you want: 1/… -
Re: [WIP] Handpainted Artorias of the Abyss, Dark Souls Fan Art.
Hi ! Wow, I didn't expect so much feedback, that's so cool ! Thank you very much guys, for your comments, glad you like it. Megacorpse > I didn't really think about that but my meaning was to do the same character as the boss fight. So if i remember well he had just his sword in this fight ? Marshal Banana > A shame ? Ho… -
Re: University Project Questionnaire
Just some advice: When trying to get people to fill in surveys for you, try to make it as easy as possible. For example the procedure right now is; 1. Download a random zip file from sendspace 2. Unzip it 3. Assume they have a program that can open .doc (manually upload to something like gogle docs if they don't) 4. Fill… -
Re: First portfolio website, critique and advice wanted
Just to start off sculpting is a valuable skill for any artistically creative discipline in the 3D Industry. Definitely have a look at ZBrush as it's probably the most robust, and most used. There'll be some good start-up tutorials on YouTube, and DigitalTutors stocks a decent ZBrush series that I used to learn the basics.… -
Re: The model is blocky!
wow!!I just fixed it.I recommend everyone who use ZBrush to do the following. 1.Make your final UV for lowest subdivision model. 2.Do not go for creating maps(color,normal,displacement etc),for now. 3.Switch to lowest subdivision level. 4.Under tool menu>UV map,then click on Flip V.This will flip your UV in vertical… -
Re: Peer Review on Website/Resume/Portfolio/Cover Letter
Your rig pose and skin pose can be different, they don't need to match. So you can rig in a T but once the rigging is done you can deform it into the A-Pose and skin your mesh. sometimes it is easier to model in an T-pose too, but after the hands and arms are done deform it into a A pose so you can work on the shoulders.… -
Re: The UK industry has little to no regard for university degree holders
I actually thing degrees are favoured by employers more than is suggested on here... at least in the UK anyway, I can't speak for the US. Here's why; I know 7 people who applied for jobs last year, 5 artists, a concept artist and an animator. 5 of those had been to uni, all had similar quality folios (a couple had slightly… -
Re: Art Insitutes sued for 11 billion in fraud!
I went to the San Diego AI as quite a few others here did and can say that the quality of the program is absolutely dependent on the quality of the instructors, and how many of those actively work in the industry. That being said, we should not be complacent with how much money it costs. It really really is a TON of money… -
Re: Noob Learning Challenge, Dark Aribeth (NSFW)
7. Highpoly Sculpting - Concept vs Creation Sometimes what works in a 2D concept wont work as well in a 3D model. This is a common issue when sculpting from a 2D reference, but it should only be a minor hindrance. For example, when I was constructing my leg armour I realised that the layering didnt make sense in 3D…
