so the EU is investigating this scheme because its some silly harmless diddle? nice try but still rather weak diversion. it is a subsidy, a payoff cash under the table etc. if i tell you that for every 100 dollars you spend i'm going to give you 25 back, yes it is a subsidy and a pay out form the public coffers. i know why…
So the combined map in this image pretty much follows Lennyagony's guide. You bake out a Prtn and Prtp map, and desaturate these images. Prtn on bottom with PrtP on top set to screen at 75-85% opacity depending on your needs. Then just the Green channel is copied out of the bent normal baked out. This is set to soft light…
trying to scrape together free resources is one of the worst mindsets to have as a beginner and directly responsible for people learning at a super slow rate, or becoming frustrated. With the new trend of top tier industry artists putting out amazingly high quality art tutorials for what is equal to pennies on the dollar…
I left the office park at normal time to grab beers with a friend in Dusseldorf. I assumed it would only be a short while so I did not take my phone, keys, wallet, or bike with me. I came back at 7, and the whole building was locked. I had two choices; Risk riding the train from Dusseldorf back to Koeln where my apartment…
Well, to be horribly honestly your work isn't par with most entry level character art positions. Then again, you say you've yet to take it into zbrush and god only knows what skills you have there.

on the merkava, the driver is actually on the side of the engine, like this: you can see the drivers hatch sticking up there. here's a CAD of the merkava powerpack: the transmission in the front extends to each of the drive sprockets. in most modern tanks, the armour actually consists of a lot of air, called "spaced…
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, JOY. I currently have about 75% of the low poly built with initial UV maps laid out and have begun test bakes and exporting to Marmoset Toolbag 2 (my trial for 3 expired a while back, and I can't upgrade until maybe a month or two). I still need to go in and finish up the…
I have a framed signed print from Ralph McQuarrie in my front room, which I pass every time I leave the house. It reminds me of the inspirational leap he made back in '75/'76 compared to what else was around at the time. As far as concept art as art goes, I would agree with Gauss that it's purpose is to inform and instruct…
