Re: Modeling laptop
Yeah i already have a spare keyboard and mouse i can use with it, so thats no problem. A monitor and external hard drive i can look into getting if i really need them, they arent too expensive these days anyway. And my current pc is fine for 3d modeling, its just i dont want to have to cart it to uni and back every time… -
Re: Portfolio crit
@lotet Thanks for looking at my stuff. Haha yeah, you caught me! I've always really admired Blizzard. You're right, my work and ideas are generic and boring, I'll try to think of better things. Its a good idea to group the stuff together, especially the stuff like the carts and weapons! It will help narrow stuff down a… -
Re: [Suggestion] About HEAJ members posts
I would have liked to have seen them all in one thread but I think it's a great idea to post and by all means continue doing so. Good job everyone on their first attempt. As a whole I would suggest a heavy study of anatomy before going any further with 3d. Its a bit like putting the cart before the horse. I just dont see… -
Re: [Portfolio] Harryscary276/Harrison Collins
THC works, lol, I get it. Now, remove your splash page for redundancy. Put all your work on ONE page, and since there's nothing there go ahead and merge your contact/resume with that so you only have one index page for your entire site. More importantly, forget all of that, and work on some content! You've put the cart… -
Re: Maya Indie
Had not noticed this at all or even received any email from Autodesk about it. I would have expected to, being a Maya LT customer for the past couple of years. It's definitely a lot cheaper than LT when you add up the yearly cost, however I cannot seem to find any information about what it...actually... is? Is there a… -
Re: Introduction to handplane for workshop artists
so alec hit me up to write a bit about my experience with handplane, and its been pretty good so far. the normals and the resulting shading are just flawless (wich also improves your generated cavity maps). also the UI is pretty self-explenatory, never had to fiddle around or anything, if you get a correct object space… -
Re: My first scifi environment (C&C please)
Roughness controls the specular highlight, right? So if you have a high roughness, do remember that will spread the highlight to ridiculous levels and appear "washed out". How rough is this material, really? It's probably actually pretty smooth, if it's worn paint and metal. If this is "paint" on "metal", there's measured… -
Re: Diffuse to Albedo in Photoshop
Thanks all for guiding me and specially you EQ for shining some light on the thread. So I have a question raised in my mind. 1. I have a bar which is made out of metal but is painted of course with orange and white so it makes me to use a black metalness map right? (But for some scratches that has cut smoothly into the… -
Re: Level design nowadays...
That kind of concept art is not for the level designers. It's for the executives, art directors, and creative leads to help figure out what the overall visual target of the game should be. The designers don't use traditional concept art. Usually they graybox things directly in the game, or via something like Sketchup. Some… -
Re: Flintlock Pistol
Andrew has a really good read for understanding PBR: http://www.artisaverb.info/PBT.html Although he uses a metal mask where as it seems you are using spec so where he is making his metal coloured in the albedo you will want to do that in your Spec instead, In general most metals are really dark in their albedo's as…
