Re: Maya crashes on load scene + perforce and backup strategies
Thanks again! I have been using git with LFS to backup my unreal project. But I have never done versioning for art files like maya scenes and so on. So far, no disasters but I do feel like I ought to back up the maya files, especially those containing animations and rigs. Because these represent a lot of work and are the… -
Re: [Environment] [WIP] Tavern Interior, UE4
Yooo, this is something I like to link to when images seem really dark; https://www.artstation.com/rogelio/blog/jX8/texturing-values-for-environments-part-1 It's basically saying generally stick to a 50% value in your base colour values, so not too bright and not too dark, and it'll make lighting look so much better, and… -

Re: Quick 'how to' guide for a wannabe environmental artist
Its good to hear you give a toss about the fundamentals of art - it's something thats often lacking..

Re: Baaaw. Dio´s dead.
The hard rock/metal world has had some catastrophic losses lately. This hits harder than most. Being only 30 now, I was a fan that got into Dio and the Dio era Sabbath a ways into my heavy metal education. I would imagine most people my age in high school, when they first learn of Black Sabbath, they discover the Ozzy… -
Re: is it necessary to learn anatomy for just character modelling not designing?
@osama9595 fair enough determining character modelling may not be your thing, afterall anatomy studies can be a daunting exercise for a novice too takle solo.

Re: looking for a career advice

I have a very bad grasp when it comes to programming for games, but that sounds like a better option than doing a full 180 and… -
Re: Tom Clancy's The Division - Ubisoft Massive
From personal experience it can go both ways. Self defense can initiate a rogue status if you're not careful. Some players actually baited other players to fire at them by shooting at them, but not hitting them. The shocked player fires back, marking him as rogue and then gets taken out by the aggressor and his buddies… -
Re: Weekly Concepts - Critique
Thanks for the links MoP, and thanks for the critiques and comments everyone else. Ok, didn't get any time to update the thread in the last 2 weeks...so, I'll be posting both concepts together.
