Looking at those wires you posted, I think you definitely have too much polygons around the bridge. You could get away with making it a whole block, or possibly something like this (288 triangles). Let the texture do the intent for the string, let the texture handle the super narrow strips, let the normals take care of…
Another week, another update :) The first thing i did this week was begin looking at the examples which are available with UE4. I was drawn to this scene/documentation https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Resources/Showcases/RealisticRendering/index.html. Partly because I want to light me scene this well, and partly…
Honestly, your portfolio just isn't very strong. You have very little there to compel anyone to give you an interview. You need more pieces and they need to be outstanding. Yours are just not that eye grabbing. I'd lose the demo reel, it's not helping you. Your environment work doesn't exhibit any real time examples. Do…
Just out of interest, what recent or upcoming, top selling games are showing examples of this to people? maybe gta a bit, but you can argue that that games all about stereotyping and pointing out silly things from our culture in a satirical way. Bayonetta maybe, due to her outfit, but she does kick ass. This isn't me…
Hey tkfxity, first of all, good job, especially for your first go at ZBrush! The following are just a few things I would suggest for your next texture but of course this is subjective and also depends on the intended use for the texture: - Try using more than one brick/stone (I know this was only for speed this time) with…
I had a look at your portfolio and the first thing I would do is pin down your specailty. Character, enviroment or props. Pick one and focus on that. If you have a varierty of work it can have a negative effect. you cant do everything, when you try to be a jack of all trades you end up being a master of none and it will…
It also depends on the engine to be frank, I have seen many people invert their Diffuse to tint your Specular map to compensate some math to make it look good, but that's not practiced as much anymore unless said material really happens to be the type that is negative to the Diffuse color. Someone with better written…
If you want to stay in Greece and do animation, you will basically have a few ad companies in Athens that require animators, but they have very low salaries, maybe a small mobile / browser game team here and there with even lower salaries. If you don't necessarily want to stay in Greece, my advice is to look at demo reels…
The iron bands on both the doors and the barrels are very thick. For the barrels, they should be ~1/16" (2mm) thick. The doors can be a bit thicker, but you're still talking about ~1/8" (4 mm) thick. Iron is very strong and quite heavy, so it has traditionally been as thin as possible for whatever task it's intended. The…
Hiya, I like how game-focused your work is, they are definitely animations that belong in a game. However, they are not necessarily the type of animations that poeple look for in a showreel. An example of a hand idle with a gun in FPS doesn't really show fundamentals of character animation much. Your walk cycles are good…
