Re: Sharp corner edges on a square detail over cylinder without distortion
Lots of examples and some good advice in this thread. There's a few different topology layouts that can work well for this kind of shape and a lot of different ways to approach the modeling part of the process. If the project requires subdivision modeling and the goal is to have sharp corners, while also using the minimum… -
Re: Would Like Some Feedback on my Portfolio.
These are my opinions: The quality of your portfolio is all over the place. When you're an entry artist you shouldn't have any WIPs in there, which includes unfinished work. You're only as strong as your weakest piece is something commonly said here. Art that looks like it took a day to make also shouldn't be in your… -
Re: I'm a games industry art director, ask me anything.
Round 3… skyline5gtrI recently had an interview with a company who I did not hear back from initially. A week later a got a response asking me a question which I answered but again I have still heard nothing in return to the follow up question i sent.

Re: A question about game asset workflow.
It depends on what you modeled to tell you your next step. Since you made a high poly, that means you probably are going to have unique UVs. The next step would be to make a low poly.

Re: Darksouls : Prepare to Die Edition
After reading all the furor, and seeing before and after shots of the "fix", I decided to skip it and stick to the standard release.

Re: RGCA Best One Minute Video Harborside Press

Re: [UE4] Physically Based 3D Art: 2016
My constructive criticism: I saw your original 2D art thread a while ago and though it looked fine. People were critiquing a lot of stupid things in my opinion. I though it looked interesting. I even skimmed this seeing some negative stuff here and there and I thought the artwork looks cool, so I went back and re-read. I… -
Re: HLSL magic
Yes sir! First of all, read Ben Cloward's site, www.bencloward.com . Then, get a copy of ShaderFX for 3dsmax to fool around in, or alternatively you could probably mess around in the UE3 shader node tool. But I would recommend ShaderFX. This will allow you to get the hang of building shaders without actually coding and you… -
