Re: [WIP] Sci-Fi Corridor. Looking for critiques/feedback please. Would help a ton.
Big improvement after the concept work, feels like it has direction now! The plant modules are looking cool and digging into reflection probes paid off. I think the scene is a bit too repetitive at the moment. All the details are occurring at the same rhythm. For example, try larger, shapes on the floor panels. The… -
Re: Half life student film maker school teaser
GORDON steps to the edge of the crumbling roof and looks out over the mass of people. T-RAY looks uneasy. T-RAY Man, I don't know about this! These dudes look like they on a timeout, like they mommas told 'em stand in the corner an' think about what happens when they pick fights with monsters! They look scared, man! With a… -
Re: Experimenting with RTX lighting ??
Ok so there are a couple of things: - Ray tracing in realtime uses heavy denoising on some passes, because otherwise it would require hundreds of samples which would cause 1 fps or less instantly. Global illumination is the most critical one here. Cast shadows only needs a lot of samples when the penumbra is large, and… -
Brandon's Daily Prompt: Calculator, Day 4
Day 4: Calculator I've decided to limit myself to 2 hours for these daily prompts. Hopefully, I can become faster and accomplish more each day... Might spend a little extra time to texture and render it for a product modeling portfolio though because I kind of like the way it looks so far. Please join me on my daily… -
Re: Extra Skills that will pay the Meals? aka knowing Linux and Python?
It seems in this case the ILM guy became an artist because he was already at ILM and often in-house applications are preferred - especially since they know your personality and work habits. You can see this transition in games where e.g. QA people transfer to other jobs such as game designer. In this case it matters little… -
Re: Normal Map edge padding 'streaks'
Doing bakes with no AA and then adding padding after the fact just seems like a waste of time to me honestly. I've never had an issue with pixel padding, as was clear from this thread, the issue was totally unrelated(missed rays). When you get missed rays, the baker treats that as null space, and from the edges of all of… -
Journal from American Psychological Association : How employers exploit passion
https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/pspi0000190 You gotta pay $11 to read the full journal, but if you are on the job hunt this knowledge could save you a lot more than $11. It's scientific journal, which means it's boring. And full of big words. Don't be lazy, read that shit. It may save your life. If you are… -
3D Environment Artist Potfolio Critique/Feedback (Stylized)
Hi everyone! I'm an aspiring game artist trying to land my first job in games- I've submitted (mostly speculative) applications to various studios but haven't managed to get any interviews, jobs for juniors also seem to be quite scarce right now haha. I talked to a recruiter at an event over the weekend and he suggested… -
Re: Recommended 3D Software
To add to that: XSI|Foundation version is in the same price range as Zbrush/Mudbox. It's fully featured for game artists, with Mental Ray rendering, animation, etc. So even a workflow consisting of XSI, Silo, Zbrush, would cost you much less than half of what you'd pay for one industry standard application. But this is… -
Re: Is it possible to say no to work overtime, and still keep the job?
saw this on facebook the other day. Pretty spot on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBNHvx8Vc6M long story short, you should do what you are comfortable with and make no apologies about having a life outside of work. People holding the fact some others have a life or families outside of work is a great recipe for creating…
