Re: Modular 3D environment kit where one important piece breaks the grid
Thanks for the advice all! Thanks Mark. All the other wall pieces will align nicely to the grid, but it's only this single piece. I'm working from some reference images and I'm trying to keep it pretty close to the reference (this is going to be for a VR experiment so I'm hoping to keep the proportions accurate, or at… -
Re: TetraPaint - 3D Painting application
Just tried out the new build. That's some really great progress! Everything added in the update seems to work great so far. Anyhow... Performance; -Minimized; large activity spikes once every 5 seconds or so. -Idle empty scene; Uses 1/3 of a Geforce GTX 650's processing power. -File/Edit/Options/etc. menu open; No gpu… -
Re: I am thinking quit been a 3d artist, need advice!!!
I think the presentations of those pieces are pretty poor as well. More images, less sketchfab. 2-3 screenshot each piece, with wireframe, maybe also with texture sheet. Thumbnails are bad. Don't just show 1 Fox from a side view with poor lighting. Put in a few foxes. Maybe 2 grown foxes and a smaller one standing close… -
Re: Dominance War VI

Re: ANIMATION, GAMING studio artists WATCH OUT.-Stephen Silver
I ran into this frequently in my time at school and also professionally, though I'm still not technically "in" the industry. People spending insane hours on projects, no sleep, bloodshot eyes, all in the guise of, "It's just part of the industry, gotta do what you gotta do." I think it's meant to make them look dedicated,… -
Re: Portfolio advice
It doesn't matter how you make stuff, all that matters is the quality. Substance designer is a great tool to know if it helps you texture, and if you can hit a high quality bar with it then it doesn't matter. "Hand crafted in photoshop," sounds like a really crappy requirement for someone to be a texture artist. Just use… -
Re: re-baking your texture maps...max...
Well the only time I used this technique from start to finish was on my Blizz entry. I had to complete the armor very VERY fast hence couldn't afford to UV map each bit, arrange everything in a cool layout, and then paint the little dudes (with the possibility of inappropriate UVs popping here and there and time flying… -
Re: anyone else who went to PAX get sick?
part of a long email that was sent around at work from HR How long can an infected person spread this virus to others? People infected with seasonal and 2009 H1N1 flu shed virus and may be able to infect others from 1 day before getting sick to 5 to 7 days after. This can be longer in some people, especially children and… -
Re: Books?
Jimmies, Grendel is one of my favorite books of all time. Had to read it in high school of all places for an assignment (my lit teacher kicked ass) and totally fell in love. I tried to scan the thread to make sure I don't repeat anyone but here's a few of my favorite series: First I have to second the A Song of Fire and… -
Cel Shading Tone?
I'm having a hard time trying to grasp the tones of cel shading, they are so random and appear to have no continuity with each other. This is either a technical question or an artistic one, it's over udk, but not on how to implement it in udk, so I chose the parent folder. My cel shader in udk looks like this. Its a light…
