Re: Subdermal colors refs
What type of SSS are we talking about here? Shader based with masks? Diffuse colors? Specular based control for the color fresnel? I would suggest looking up some ways Scott Spencer would go about making his texture, like dark recessed area get a nice splatter of dark blues and purples, while stressed and more boney parts… -
Re: Hand-painted demo reel
Autocon: Thanks for the advice. I thought the same thing but no one else was mentioning it, so I thought it may have just been me. vcortis is correct :) . If you'd like to see all the swords, visit this link here: http://www.shermancg.com/_swords.html I do credit MoP in his goblin work, so maybe that will get some people… -
Re: 3ds Max quad issue - wont show out of any keyboard combination
Boyani, to your last question: if you really want that you could work something out using Autohotkey and change some mouse button when you're in Max. Another option, if you own a mouse that has its own remapping driver software, is to assign RMB to another key or whatever combination of them you want in your keyboard.… -
Re: Dropped school : Where do I go from now?
I can sympathize why so much importance is placed on a degree, even though for the game industry it's not 100% a requirement. It's a social thing. Trying to talk to people in real life about how you can have a job with no certificate leads people to think you're insane. Even when I try and dispel such rumors by showing… -
Re: Art institute of chicago E portfolio critique - WIP
I go to AILA, and I can say you'll get in. Most people get in without any 3D work, or even good 2D work, so don't stress it. Piece of cake. Now, whether it'll be worth it is questionable, really. But it all depends on the teachers you have, and your own work ethic. I'm only still at AILA because of one awesome teacher. But… -
Re: Question for people in industry, has 3D got boring for you?
It's interesting to hear everyone's experience with 3d as a job and the passion for it. I'm personally still loving the day to day work after close to 7 years doing it. The toughest part of games for a job is also the fact it's collaborative and during development things change naturally as a product takes shape resulting… -
Re: Pretty New to modelling
You need a portion to lock the crotch in place like so: [ QUOTE ] "Think about a character running: if there's no loop of polys in the crotch seperating the two legs, when one leg goes forward and the other backward, they're going to be pulling on each other, resulting in horrible deformations and shading. That loop of… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
nice writeup and info here crazybutcher, but i notice you're only referring to "runtime" performance of stuff. what about loading things into memory, or collision calculations etc. if you have 100 duplicates of an object and it's not instanced, that is going to add up quite quickly on the memory side of things if you have… -
Re: Lack of Environment Artists
For me it's natural to do environment art, it's what I do in reallife and what I love. Creating space, placing boundaries, creating a movement, a feeling. In this virtual realm the possibilities are endless though, no picky contracters or compromises. That said for me it's relaxing to go out and create things without all… -
Re: "The Ripper"
Some really good work so far especially for a first go at mudbox. I would suggest that if he is going to use his smaller arm as support when standing, running or walking that you change the hand to a type of hand that would be able to support that kind of weight. Think gorilla hands, or using a fist and walking on the…
