Re: Texture Size Question
Hey everyone! So maybe it can be broken down to this. Main player character and bosses could use 2k maps for head and body, while lower characters like generic enemies and other NPCs cause use 1024 maps depending on how important they are? Also another thing i was wondering if I have a diffuse and normal thats in 2k and… -
Re: Hats Off: Lucasarts is gone
1) 2) The modding community right now is just kids doing recolors 3) Yeah, though if someone wants to do a game off of it they'd have to do it from scratch, and avoid all likenesses and trademarked stuff (maybe even using names like schwingblades, shaftpoles or something). Fortunately the script system it used in the… -
Re: Unpopular opinions -- get it out of your chest
To me the most important parts of animation is 1. Making NPCs not look like cardboard cutouts. 2. Grounding the characters by having them move through levels in realistic ways. 3. Blending between animations/interactions seamlessly. The tech behind animation might actually be more important to me than the animations… -

Re: Google expects artists to work for free...
MTV gets most of it's visuals for free. Just the name of the game: free art = exposure. Maybe it doesn't suit some people, but it does suit up and coming artists. Google has always made wise business decisions and this is just another one of them. Several really famous artists have contributed to this project and it's done… -
Re: My first game gone gold: Gothic 3
I love the gothic franchise, picked up the first part when it was really cheap, as I didnt knew it and am actually not into those types of games, but it fully gripped me. Takes really long to play thru and for its time had a insanely big credible work. Especially with day/night, lots of npcs which do stuff and you can talk… -
Re: [WIP] Character: Sci-fi Police Cadet
Thank you nyx and Xenia! :) Freckles might be too intense, will give more love to the details of the face, have too balance the intensity so it looks good enough on different distances. Eyes do point straight forward, going to try to make a pose for her soon, will adress the eyes then too :) You are right about the bill,… -
Re: Mod (editors) vs. Game Engine
Here's how I see it, you should mod if you want to reskin some assets, make new assets, change the look of the game, add your NPCs to this existing world, do some level design, etc. Tasks that are very simple and straight forward. But if you want to add flying dragon combat to Skyrim, I'd say your better off making that… -
Re: Expectations of an in-house job for a 3d character artist
^ dont listen to that guy. haha. I've seen this question asked a few times. I`m not a character artist, so this could be off, but answers ive seen in the past is anywhere from 1 week to 2 months. It really depends on the character and the studio. If the character is some no name toon you`ll never see, just some npc dude,… -
Re: Cool painting - Bad concept - What 3d artists are looking for in concept art
I'll say that 3/4 drawings are about a million times less tedious and faster to draw than orthos too! That's because it's really hard to get the design looking right when drawing flat on for a character, and we are so in the habit of drawing in perspective. Props like guns are however faster to draw in profile. Pior. Those…
