Looks really cool! Kudos for making the Maya UI your bitch, too. I have some questions: Do you use LDR env cubemaps + direct light sources for some of these shots? Like the yellow hilight on Peppi's racer, that's not from the env cubemap is it? Do you do diffuse lighting from an env cubemap or only specular? The difference…
Depends on the art. If done well it can only help. If shoddily done it can really drag you down. Even character illustration has the potential to show you know some pretty key things like color theory, proper lighting, basics of painting, shape and form, balance, dynamic poses. All stuff that gets used in env art just in…

Hello everyone! I would like to share with you a portfolio piece I am currently working on. This environment is inspired by Elden Ring. Everything in the environment is made by me with the exception of few alpha designs from the internet. Please share your thoughts on what could be improved.

But I figured the best way to start would be to just build a portfolio from…

Practice makes…
While I still see no real alternative. Just wonder if it's only my impression. For years I see only cosmetic improvements . Node bypass been best of them IMO yet took decades of users prays . Coming to Blender nodes feel so much like breath of fresh air . Any custom node saved in a library could be done local to the file…
Hey guys, Doing a piece for the Creature and Critters competition on CGcoach and thought it wouldn't hurt to post it up here and see what you all think of it. For the contest you are required to come up with a story concept and high poly model. The wining model will be print in 3d by Moddler.com, so the model must be very…
