Re: Should I learn to make trees, or is Speedtree phasing out the need for it?
For movies and such were optimization isn't a big deal SpeedTree would definitely be a good choice, for games on the other hand i would go with the hand modeling process simply because you have a bit more freedom. You will most likely need to re touch what comes out of SpeedTree anyways, and as people have already stated… -
Re: Are games becoming boring?
Personally I love the current popular games like Battlefield 3, the only thing I hate about is is how they force you to always appear online to your friends list. Its a game breaker for me as I need to freedom to play solo or with friends. I don't think games in general are getting boring though when you compare the games… -
Re: Baking an AO pass
Yeah it really frees you up, I suddenly realize :) I always thought there was no freedom in these things, but this really makes things easier... I can actually give up a basemesh altogether, just go freestyle in ZBrush and use Topogun for reto, and it's all done. I really need to sharpen up.. my techniques are pretty… -
Re: Achieving realism: Handpainting Vs. Photosourcing
At Insomniac is was really up the artist. They gave us a lot of freedom. The only thing that was important was that the end product was bad ass. I used my own account at CGTextures and my own portable HDD of textures I've collected over the years. But we did have a folder somewhere..deep in the bowels of our servers where… -
Re: How to learn 3D art / University worth it?
Tons upon tons. Paid resources like digital tutors and 3dtotal is good, youtube, tons of tutorials, from basics to ones that will guide you through a project, google everything you don't know about and a video will almost always pop up or a thread to forums such as these, the polycount wiki is a invaluable resource as… -
Re: The noob character challenge
I like the idea of a predefined concept to work from instead of a theme and some specs. Give people the freedom to interpret the concept the way they like be it stylized, hand painted, low poly or next-gen. We could set up a concept voting thread soon to start posting concepts and voting for them. If the response is good… -
Re: Hand Painting Obsidian Texture in Photoshop. NEED HELP
Alright, well while I'm finishing up those textures, I might as well post the next item in my line-up; a ceremonial dagger. Mostly used in sacrificial rituals, it'll be found inside one of the abandoned temples on the altar. Such a pretty thing to leave lying about. I had pretty much total freedom with this thing, so I had… -
Re: Jungle Dungeon WIP

I was originally going for Cambodian, but half way through production i realized that it's perfectly fine to create this world in a way that i envisioned... this way i have complete creative freedom, and i can tell a story with my scene. the plans for this… -
Re: [WIP] [Low-Poly] Old 4-legged mecha with voodoo-ish flavor
This may trigger arguments but if you say your a noob with 3d you should be experimenting with current gen stuff, 2048x2048 maps and over 2500 poly's per asset. There is much more freedom for artistic expression this way compared to low poly which is very restrictive. To add to that I firmly believe that the more leg room… -
Re: Ma.k Raccoon sculpting
Thanks for comment. I am also a fan of Ma.k, and this model I did on the basis of a plastic model. To the pilot I brought some of my elements, for example - a piece of uniform. Armor is not completed with all the details, I will add them on the maps. I have a couple of plastic Ma.k models, I really like their shapes,…
