Re: Orc Encampment Diorama [WIP]
two main things stick out aside from the glossy ground. The ground is super flat looking and doesn't offer much elevation change around any of the structures like the walls. I would half expect to see it built up a little higher in some areas. The second is the pencil shaped wooden walls. Get some that aren't perfectly… -
Re: Able to draw, born talent or hard work
Seriously nonsensical self defeatist nonsense. How can you be born to do art? That does not make any sense. Their is no evolutionary selection for art(as far as I can tell). Artists do not produce more offspring than everyone else. We havent had art nearly long enough for it to be selected for. How can you be born to hold… -
Re: New Here
Hello thatshelby, I'd suggest you hop on your bike and fetch a banana from the store and make a study out of it. Grab a pencil and paper, draw your banana 20ish times. What makes a banana a banana!? Once you think you're ready, try giving it another shot in 3D. I'd love to see a few versions! I really like your thread,… -
Re: exercises you use to generate ideas ?
I tend to just draw vague shapes (soft and flowing if i want an organic idea, or more sharp jagged lines for a mechanical one), really lightly with a pencil, then kinda follow the lines which look best to me and generate ideas just by looking at the vague shapes. I also like to use http://www.greveson.co.uk/speedpaint.php… -
Re: Factory machine WIP
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, a few things to note: I don't know the purpose of the machine, I was given a simple pencil sketch of the machine with no description of it's use or look. I am going with a simple colorscheme that consits of green and orange, what I thought was a common scheme in industry standard. The… -
Re: Random master study
@splicer Thanks for liking these. I think of master study as to analyse, in this case, pictures of sculptures and try to recreate that in other medium (traditionally: pencil on paper and Digitally: Pen Tablet) and learn from them. What you did is amazing and I like it very much but at this moment I think I am not confident… -
Re: Creativity is gone
draw. I've learned that if I try to create something without a complete idea layed out in front of me, I'm lost and give up. Design what you want in pencil/pen/paint. If the concept is great, the 3D will be just as great. Creativity means to create, not duplicate. So try something a little different. Example: avoid… -
Re: [Question] Regarding Level Designers
If you're designing something that complex and spatially critical without at least putting pencil to paper first for a quick scribble to get your thoughts organized, you're burning time and money and I question your process. I used to just start designing from the hip, or modeling for the sake of modeling, and it can be… -
Re: 3dCodex.com - Critiques and Ideas
Glad you liked it Pangarang! Alright boys, I'm looking at this...and I think I'm going to need to do a core rewrite. The current structure is becoming exhausted. I'll make two more changes, and then push out the whole lot (10/20 view, direct insertion, and the "report this" button). After that I'll sit down with pencil and… -
Re: I can't start or learn anything new after burnout
^ This Or another useful tangent, that may provide an outlet at least in terms of exercising your creativity, other than opening a piece of software. Is basically, getting yourself outside, armed only with sketchbook - flipbook - pencil and simply draw, whatever comes to mind. Mode of transport or destination is irrelevant…
