I am an aspiring level/Environment artist and i am trying to expand my knowledge and skills of 3D and games engines constantly. I will try and post up… -
Re: Monthly Noob Character Challenge Discussion
At first I thought that starting with a concept would be it, but now it seams way more complicated (we need a concept and the consentment of the author to use it) And a concept would restrain the creativity you can put into your work, which isn't always good imo. But it also a good way to just dive right in and start… -
Re: The predominance of consciousness over matter
I'm surprised, you guys are actually having (for the most part) a mature discussion on a pretty sensitive topic. It's a good read! Here's my contribution: You cannot get something from nothing. "Nothing" does not exist even the black vacuum of space is something. So if there was never "Nothing" that means there was always… -
Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
Having to deal with the realities of being an artist isn't necessarily a total bummer, Rorschach. Artists have always had "whore out" their skills or do day jobs, and it's possible to enjoy the day job to some extent. 5000 years ago artists had to do hunting and gathering like everyone else, in addition to making art. 500… -

Re: Vertex colors for storing PBR information
@andrad : Storing AO as vertex color data does not necessarily mean that you would multiply it over the color at all times. Modern game rendering techniques access and show the AO texture pass only when/where needed, selectively (for instance to have some nice occlusion effects in the places where direct light doesn't… -
Re: [Portfolio] Noel Mahoney New Show Reel & Web Portfolio
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your feedback! The camera could do with improvement I do agree as I am still a rookie when it comes to matinee. I'll try and iron that out at some point. The next step is to start something new as I'm starting to get burnt out by this scene. Just got back to liking the actual film… -
Re: Unreal Tournament - Outpost23
ddoan88: I used DDO to generate scratch and dirt masks, and finalized the maps in Photoshop. Now that this map is done, I plan on learning Substance Designer. People are doing some amazing stuff with it! JamesMeader: thanks! s1dK: thanks dude Pope Adam: Dat Phobos! ;) AzzaMat: you do have to "step" up onto a ramp right?… -
Re: Cleopatra and the Asp - nudity - 3d character
Hey man, your reference image is cool and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. It might be better to start by modeling this in a T- Pose and then posing it once you are happy with the figure of your character. This will allow you to use symmetry as well as check your character against a number simpler… -
Re: Your dream technological idea
