Re: WAR PAINT - Q&A
There are definite issues in the UVS in the models due to the extraction process. Possibly some precision errors, but the stretching seems to go more than just a decimal error would be. You Can fix that up to match the wireframe UV layout as provided in the PSD's by relic. Definitely stay with their UV layout or your skins… -
Re: I want to be a Enviroment Artist
work on modeling skills first. work your way up from props to buildings and other non-organic stuff. Blender and a painting program (e.g. gimp) should be enough if you're really starting at absolute 0. As your skills grow you might want to invest some more money into your hobby. Experience will tell you into which tools… -
Re: do you prefer working from concept or designing your own creations?
I agree that when it comes to a job, someone who specializes in one field is more desirable than someone who generalize but I believe it's for another reason, You could apply this reasoning to all beginner modelers,animators,riggers etc. The same experience gap exists whether or not someone specializes. How they over come… -
Re: Increasing Creativity and the "Artistic Eye?"
I'll definitely give that a shot! It's not so much an evening hobby, as just practice for what I want to work on. I spend around 90 hours a week between homework and classes, so wherever I can, I put in a little practice on things that I'd like to work on, since a lot of our projects are 2D animations, a bit of world… -
Re: re going rate for outsourcing in china/india
Kwramm - yeah i mainly do mobile stuff these days, I do the realistic stuff as a hobby mainly, so its slightly cartoony type stuff . I think these days it nuts for me to do realistic work it takes so much longer, but I get the same money as for more cartoony stuff. It's a no brainer really. I get what you are saying about… -
Re: The career and Women
My wife and I have completely different interests and some different world views. But the things that are (the most) important in our lives like our values, morals, kids, carreer goals etc. we have in common. I think that you need to have a good balance in what you have in common and where you differ. But everybody has… -
Re: Ban on M-Rated games to minors and you.
Irritant: Actually it helps parents since it uses an opt-in model (kid only gets what parent allows) as opposed to an opt-out model (kid gets everything until the parent catches him). Currently if you leave your kid out of sight with a few bucks for an hour or so that's enough for him to get a game you do't approve. It's… -
Re: Elephant oni WIP
you've got nothing besides the stick person that would let us know the scale. oversized limbs and head make him feel small, and the huge beads and weapon reinforce the idea. his belt is also made of some enormous twisted fabric. as others stated, his hips/crotch area is a little odd, but his armor hides that. the problem… -
Re: Decadent [UH Student project]
It's looking much better than it had. Breaking it up with small and large webs and other similar objects is going to help. I'd keep tweaking the lighting, especially the strength and falloff. Candles do not illuminate very well. Play with various angles of moonlight shining into the room. Look at some of your favorite… -
Re: What's up at Infinity Ward...?
Yes. Because writing angry notes has a large effect. Or worse group notes. "Dear Bobby. We hate your business practices, but we are going to buy the game even so." Bobby laughs, checks his latest stock portfolio and throws the note away. I support them greatly, but really. How much does Amnesty International have with…
