i've always been a fan of all kinds of music, (i'm a metal fan mostly) but lately i've been listening to a lot of stuff that i'd only really describe as visual.. and i'm finding it's AWESOME to do art to. right now i'm spinning a few soundtracks, namely, edward scissorhands, and the mummy soundtrack (which rules believe it…
If you're as big a fan of Bladerunner as we, this might peek your interest! Check out the creative collaboration between artists and musicians in this tribute to the Bladerunner universe. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/moments-lost The talented musicians over at Analog Sweden have assembled all the original hardware…
Really great body of work Jason. Congratz on the contract deal too! Im sure if they dont hire you on full time you wont have trouble finding something somewhere else. I am also not a big fan of the window box thing, so much clicking to do and if i wanted to look at an environment as a whole quickly i couldnt. I am also a…
Sure! (Hair is hard to do...) So take a plane, give it a planar UV. Then paint a lock of hair - fur in photoshop (or your preferred paint program) on a new layer (so it's not the background layer). Then take that layer copy it, make it black and white, and adjust the brightness - contrast so that it will be pure white…
i dunno. sonic was all sorts of fun back in the day and its not like mario hasnt been whored out in all sorts of games/sequels/crossovers/cameos either. its just that sega's time has long been over and has had to resort to licensing extremes to stay afloat. that said, i do like that nintendo opted to include sonic as more…
Thanks for the response! @ Vig: I haven't done the eye yet, still working on it. As for the blendshapes, how could i do to make the fins contract without the use of blenshapes? I have made blendshapes to a game before and it was like 5 rows of code for the programmers, is it really uncommon nowadays? The fish itself is…
Plus, let's imagine your imaginary "well designed and fun game with ugly female character". Demo is made, now we are shopping for a publisher. Do you honestly think that any of them would provide funding without asking she be hotted up? Or funded at all? Point taken, but it gets incredibly frustrating when you try to make…
I'd be tempted to try and remove the bevel line around the rim of your fins. If you're careful you could get a cleaner finish and lose a lot of polys. You might have to tinker with hardening the edges around those seams though to get a nice result if you wanted to use a normal map. You may want to trim down the poly count…
[ QUOTE ] ...when everyone is burned out on FF7. The hype just won't last that long. [/ QUOTE ] You see, FF7 is like a cult movie. People don't get burned out on it, they just play it for the rest of their lives. The hype will last for as long as they do. I mean the game is just 1 or 2 years shy of being a decade old.…
This was one of the most ambitious pieces I've worked on as a 3D artist, and I had an awesome time working on it. My favorite part about this project was doing the trim sheets and tiling textures, and it was so much fun to watch it all come together into a finished piece that I probably never thought I could make a couple…
