Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
I thought sculpting and baking was in vogue these days for plenty of environment art assets, at least where budgets are higher? I guess depending on the studio size you may do more or less of certain tasks too. Ie, concept artists might do blocking out and some level design, while in bigger studios each part is more split… -
Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
Isn't it worth looking into the Zbrush pipeline if you are 'new' to things? Make a rough crate shape in 3ds max but don't worry too much about topology, just make it with pro boolean maybe... give it the appropriate 'style' you feel you need (ie, not perfect cube/square sides for the WoW style?) Then get to Zbrush, detail… -

It's rare that I don't watch a tutorial and NOT learn something. Every little… -
Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
You need to start experimenting on your own. Pick something you think you know how to do, then try and do it. Question every step you take. If you don't have any idea how to get started on even simple things, then you're going to have to watch more tutorials. Try something really simple like making a crate or a cardboard… -
Re: 3D Environment artst: I could really use some help on a "path"
I agree if I have the time to watch AND I know the author is a quality source. Video is an excellent format but the risk is that if they present badly it's worse than just writing it down with pictures! Videos like those by Andrew Cramer for After Effects are fantastic for example, some comedy, a really good format, a nice…
