@AimBiz thank you for the link! That place looks awesome, I'm definitely gunna check it out. I do agree that drawing everyday is good. I've been doing just a drawing a day for a few months now and even at that low level of production I feel improvement. I would agree that getting a design-oriented skill set would be…
Hey everybody, I've recently decided I'd like to improve my art so I thought this woud be a great place to document my progress. I haven't drawn in quite a few years so I'm beginning with the basics and with a focus on environment art, I should also like to mention that I will be working digitally. With that in mind any…
I am an artist/writer who has recently developed some pretty major carpal tunnel in my hands and can only draw for short periods at a time. I have a project outlined, concepted, and partially written, but I need help with the art. I'm looking for a draftsman to collaborate with. These are some of the concept pages I've…
Hello, This is my first post on polycount I am currently in my last year in uni and I have decided to start working on my portfolio so for my first piece I decided to create a Rohirrim Shield. So I would love to get some critique and feedback before uplaoding it. Thank you for your time. The horse drawing on the shield was…
I drew this guy up today with plans to model him: Here's the stream It was mostly a rough idea, tonight (Jan 2nd) at around 8pm central time I'll stream stage 2 of concepting. I'll draw out orthos and possibly do some simple blockouts in 3d to make sure the design is solid before modeling. Barring any disasters I'll stream…
Black and White verithin coloured pencils on toned canson paper 19 x 25 ish I decided to start drawing again. Though I suppose the vast majority of you have never seen anything I've drawn... Oh well, tell me what you think, suggestions are welcome, etc. This is my first post, be brutal. ;P oh here's my artsite if you want…
[ QUOTE ] 2) max9 by default disables backface culling (right click-> object properties (or edit)). you can manually enable it again there. [/ QUOTE ] It's now disabled by default to speed up viewport performance (it takes extra time to see if a face should be drawn or not as opposed to just drawing all the faces). If you…
Not sure what VNC is but the bounding boxes thing is just a really anoying feature in max. Hit the 'O' key (not zero) and that should fix you up. It also sounds like when its drawing the edges of your model they are clipping into the faces being drawn. Almost sounds like a video card driver issue? Maybe try swapping…
Ever since shaders were introduced graphics cards stopped sorting alphaed polies properly, they're drawn in the order the app sends them now. Some engines sort alpha polies before drawing (AFAIK Unreal does that), others don't. Your best bet is to apply alpha only to the polies that absolutely need it and use alpha test…
Thanks. guys. When you say that the tablet isn't a pencil, Two Listen, what do you mean? I plan to try a digital painting today so we'll see how that goes. Also, konstruct, I just asked my friend what I should draw and he sent me that, so I drew it. I don't do that often so I should be safe.
