Re: Serious trouble understanding the workflow "Low to high to low Poly"
Decimation master is very smart about what gets culled out of the mesh, their algorithm works really hard to preserve detail. It isn't some brute force poly cruncher, just welding whatever in near, it's very intelligent. Normally what gets hacked out is nothing but fluff that isn't actually contributing to the tiny details… -
Re: Mecha Construction - Basics
Any suggestions for improving my hard-surface modeling when I move into detailing? Important things to keep in mind? So far it looks like keeping simplified shapes, checking them in maya's smooth preview then utilizing supporting edges where it looks funky. I was trying to figure out a bit how he maintained his model with… -
Re: felix < character
You probably should have painted the lower half of this character. It's hard to see where you're going with the proportions. Is it a stylish choice? If it is it doesn't come across. Pixelgoat is right about the long torso and the short, stumpy legs. In the concept he seems feline, but the model proportions, mainly because… -
Re: How important are my final grades for application?
Interesting. You say your grades were bad because you had "bad priorities". Seems to suggest that you, on some level, believe that your studies should have been more important than whatever else you were doing. Kind of curious what exactly you were learning that you felt would be useless. I'm kind of hard pressed to think… -
Re: Texturing: True res vs. Resizing
I prefer to work at res when possible. I started my career working with 32x32 sprites. This trained me to work on a per pixel level. As the years have passed and the textures sizes increased, I've found this a hard habit to kick. I just want to get in and noodle! The larger the texture the longer it takes me. With that… -
Re: my demo reel
thanks everyone, It's good to know I'm making progress. It's weird that I'm having trouble with the texture maps as I'm a pretty good airbrush artist, you'd think I would shine the best at texturing. As far as the flash site, well, that's the only way I know how to make websites right now. But, I plan on using a demo reel… -
Re: Work in progress little environment
The minimum thickness of a lot of pieces seems to be pretty thin in your model. The chains, the needle/gauge, the spindles on the wheel, they all seem thinner and less chunky than the concept. Also you could save yourself a lot of polys by simplifying the gears in the back. Less gears, making the remaining ones bigger.… -
Re: Question about model/ texture for a single item/weapon.
Sorry but i got stuck again, the link as you mentioned above say that the size of the texture for my item must be 256H x 256W, so i created a 256x256 px texture, but no matter how hard i try to paint it, it all looks pixelated, but looking at you guys' textures, they're all look great, like 1k or 2k at the size! So, what… -
Re: New Splash Damage Art Test -BW
The angled section at the top looks like it shouldn't be as hard of a drop. The coloumns on the side don't bevel inwards at the top, they stay straight. The upper setion looks like its floating, when in the concept it seems to nearly right on it (that might be a perspective issuse though). You also seem to be missing that… -
Re: Music and Work
I don't actually listen to music whilst working. I find it very distracting I used to always find it really hard in a studio because little noises would seep in to my brain and annoy me, like people typing too loud or people trying to stipple texture with a graphic tsblet:) must have some kind of noise sensitivity thing…
