Re: Animation Reel critique please!
Hey, I think you commented on my Youtube channel recently asking for advice (small world!) so I'll just put it on here instead. I think if I was a recruiter at a large studio, my biggest issue would be that the reel isn't specialised enough. 3D animation is a highly specialised field, so if you want to market yourself as… -
Re: Your preferred leg rig solution
I like biped's simple leg set up, very few parts to interact with. No IK/FK switching and the swivel is controlled by the rotation of the shin. Same for the elbows, its controlled by the forearm rotation. No second set of limbs to blend between and snap back and forth, no goofy look at swivel to worry about, just simple… -
Re: [WIP] Snowy Keep
I might be completely off with this so take it with a bit of salt, I don't know much about composition. I get the feeling that when viewed from the entrance side there are some incongruences with the scene. With a bright sky like that, I would expect the flame to seem less bright (less contrast + light interference etc). I… -
Re: Portal Update
This stuff is awesome, here's a montage of some of the stuff that's been pulled from the BBS during the night: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/9306/portalasciilarge2.png And someone on the steam forums posted a nice recap of the events, for those wondering what the hell is going : -Portal gets surprise update yesterday… -
Re: [UDK] Normandy SR2 Retrofitting facility
Even in production, it would be fine if you're going to have the player grapple, hook, shoot, and generally all around interact with the ship as a larger part of the level in a game. Considering your average level is pushing the upper 100-200 even 500K polies in a scene to make ends meet in todays games (most of Unreal's… -
Re: Why do you do what you do?
Similar to what others have said. Like Malus, I liked to escape reality though not out of boredom but because reality usually sucked for me. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time building castles and space bases out of Lego and also drawing huge maze like caverns with stickmen armies battling it out, which interestingly… -
Re: The Secret Renaissance of the 21st Century
My point isn't saying "I'm the next Davinci". It's quite the opposite. I wanted to say "ok, the Renaissance is over, so how about we talk about the type of art that Artists are making now?". I don't believe PS1 spec art or any modern 3D art are just binary actions. Isn't a common motto here that "there is no make art… -
Re: Anyone else here not play any video games?
I'm a little confused why anyone would want to work in the video game industry who doesn't live and breathe video games. Aren't there less notoriously volatile, exploitative, and competitive industries that employ 3D artists which would allow a better quality of life if the art is the only thing you care about? Serious… -
Re: Painting snow mountains
I think you're getting it. To me it looks like the biggest hurdle you're running into is how the snow would logically pile up and blow around? But to get there, you might need to lay down a more detailed foundation for the rocks. Trying to visualize the larger shapes as well as the pits and peaks and how the snow would… -
Re: Good game art colleges?
Well, some people need that team atmosphere, working face-to-face with others, to get them started. I certainly felt that way when I left High School. I knew I needed an introduction to the world of art, and needed to be around others to inspire me. Now, I have the self-starter motivation fully instilled so I can work on…
