Re: What online courses/3D atelier are recommended?
90% of tutorials are absolute garbage and I detest them! I lump tutorials into 1 of 3 categories. 1) Make it up as you go A.K.A "The Youtube" Usually created by a really intelligent guy who knows unfathomable amounts about a program. However the tutorials have zero structure and are unedited. Resulting in 20% useful… -
Re: Axioms of Hard Surface Modeling?
I have a small set of rules I've developed privately that nobody uses but me PECS: A rubric for assessing the quality of a highpoly hardsurface model. PECS stands for Proportions, Edges, Construction, Shading. For a given model, each PECS component is scored from 1-5. The final PECS score is the sum of every component… -
Re: Relationship issues caused by 3d?
The polarized replies here are interesting. I don't think there is a great answer either way. I'ts really hard. I agree with Baj and Jason for the most part. Relationships are continual compromises and the grass is rarely greener from my experience. Relationships are alot like 3D or any other art. You start off with… -
Re: Freelance Pricing?
Well decide what you want to make an hour if you live in the USA you won't want to make less than 10 dollars an hour, why because you can't live off that. And more importantly you can make these amount of money almost at any job that requires no skills. So it also comes down to what you are worth. Kind of simple. I went… -
Re: GDC 2012
DVDs are USELESS. Do NOT get demo reals made. When I went in 2010, only 1 booth in the career expo accepted my reel, the other 20+ I visited turned them down. Cholden is correct. Get things printed from a really nice printer and walk around with a sleek black portfolio. Ipads are awesome. Business cards are awesome. Some… -
Re: The best decision I made in 2016: reading
I wholeheartedly agree :smiley: I've tried it but personally I'm terrible at focusing on 2 things at the same time. It's especially difficult with non-fiction. I like listening to audiobooks when I do menial tasks, like commuting, going to the supermarket or doing the dishes. Or on the rare occasion that I go cycling. And… -
"Speed asset," unknown human skull, 3h
Summary: a rather trash speed asset done to measure time versus quality. I have not completed much game art lately and felt the need to make something. This way, in a year, I can do the same and gague improvement or something. Negative qualities I note: - sculpt was undesirable, very underdetailed at one hour - the… -
Re: Sketchbook: KROKUS
To get back into sculpting characters I will start with something i think is fun, somewhat stylized characters that look a bit weird, for now its going to be an old, overwheight man. This is after about 20minutes of blocking out the form -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | July 2014 | Multiple Pieces
That depends on your budget. Topogun2 is $100. It's great for retopo IMO. And isn't too bad at baking texture. It could be replaced with some nice Max/Maya retop plugin. And xNormal is always good. Marmoset Toolbag 2 is very handy. But you can get UE4 for $20 or something. Then cancel the subscription. Then you're good. I… -
Re: Mudbox 2009
So... I played a bit more with Mudbox and it didn't change my initial impression... It just takes me way too long to get to the results that I get so quickly in ZB, even after getting used to using actual keyboard shortcut to undo and ctrl for alt (opposite) brush instead of... alt key. Here's the example: This head took…
