Re: 10 tips for freelancers
All good ideas. I always wondered about keeping my day job and freelancing on my off time. When you freelance though, how does it usually work? Would I have time to do this or do you usually have crazy deadlines or a ton of work? -
Re: Paid to Play?
That's crap. Much like Tinman, I always had to say right off the bat "No, my job isn't all fun and games". Once you explain things, people usually back away from the issue. And as soon as you hit discussion on crunch cycles, they usually run for the hills. -
Re: (NSFW) Demons: A Personal Art Project using the UDK
Looks promising! Being a demon I don't know if this applies but his muscles around his shoulder are strange. The biceps usually connects in the arm pits and the deltoid usually covers that certain area where his biceps are now. Then again, he's a demon and stuff so this might not apply! -
Re: 3Ds Max Render Problem
Yes try flipping the Normals. Usually when something does not work for me at all in 3ds, I close the application, start fresh, by that I mean reset all the settings and then import my meshes. This usually fixes all issues that I had so far hope it helps. :) -
Re: 3ds 9 : "Error Creating Bitmap"
In my experience it is- like other people have mentioned- when MAX is running out of memory... usually happens when I try and render 4096x4096 textures or have been outputting a lot of 2048x2048 textures in a row. A reset, and a consequently freeing of memory usually does the trick for me. -
Re: Polygon issues
Thanks Jeramy, MoP, Vig, and Vailias. It is a Boolean and it is probably is screwed up. :) Usually I can fixed them when I do boolean's... usually. I'm sure they are a big no! no! with game companies, but booleans seem to be the best way to cut out circles or whatever. Thanks again for the help! -
Re: we found THEM!!
"no Religion has helped science forward for a long while, if not hundreds of years." yeah, it usually after the fact...and usually its only to save the church from looking like a bunch of igits. And there should always be accountability for any establishment...especially those that go out of their way to suppress science,… -
Re: Normal Map Resolution 2k to 4k
Soo... This is how you make a lowpoly normalmapped megatron. Start with 1x1 normal map and increase the resolution until you get the desired result. But seriously. The dynamic upscale only works if the doc was made in Substance Painter for example. Its unable to upscale you a random image and put back details on that. -
Re: Fulltime as a Character Artist?
I jump over to props and set dressing when I'm done with character work usually, but often times, you can find yourself tweating characters until the game ships. Cutting characters always happens, but is usually more of an animation bottle neck than a character artist bottle neck. -
Re: How do you stay fit and healthy?
I have been dropping a lot weight for the past couple of the months doing Kendo. And I usually go into practice early now, and usually do 500 sword strikes before practice starts. Its a really good work out and keeps my interest because, it's really really fun =) .
