Some epic progress thanks to a very special someone: http://www.thiagoklafke.com/modularenvironments.html His examples provided me with a PERFECT set of grid settings, which now solves my physical modulation problem of them not lining up, I even almost got rid of the intense triangulated shadows at the bottom right of each…
For concepting, Zbrush is fine since you don't need to make many variants if you're just going for proof of concept, plus you already own it. Once you are ready to kick off production, Speedtree will save you a lot of time. $900 may feel like a lot, but if you do the math and compare it to how much time you would spend…
Thx for the replies guys, really insightful. I've failed a few interviews before (not game industry related) for not saying enough in the interview and contrary to my post count here :) , im quite a shy person. Hopefully a printed poftfolio would give me something to talk about. Would it be a waste to include things like…
Watched Proko's step by step gesture video and completed this set of 45 sec gesture drawings using his methodology. More practice is necessary, but I like his approach. It centers around the movement, motion, & balance of the subject and its subsequent forms. It's based on the principle that the life of the figure is its…
Lyaksandr - Thank you! Haven't drawn in my moleskine in a few weeks. Gotta dig back in there! Small pile of recent stuff I can post. Some housekeeping - I've kind of moved my main web update presences to tumblr and facebook, but I'm still updating the blog as well. For anyone that wants to connect with me elsewhere, choose…
Really hard to say as all of them were created around a full time job, so it was one hour here, one hour there. If I had to guess, I'd say around 60 hours for the first 2, and more like 80 for the olifant. I wanted to stay here in Iceland and there were no jobs for me after the film finished and 8 of us got laid off. I…
22 inch, it' wasn't completely horizontal, something like 30-45 degrees. It took several months to notice the issue, but the pain stopped the day I stopped using the Cintiq. Going back to a regular tablet I have to say I don't really buy Wacom's claims of productivity increase with a Cintiq. I've also used the much…
@Kanni3d Wrangling those verts and welding them seems counter productive right? Probably best to just unwrap with the 1 segmented bevel like you said. Let's say I have a low poly 1 segmented chamfer box with a weighted normal, I also have a high poly 3 segmented chamfered box with weighted normal that may have other…
check this out guys; Bungie's revenue down 45% https://old.reddit.com/r/destiny2/comments/17kv6ul/bungies_revenue_down_45_for_fiscal_year_2023_per/ As a former Destiny 2 player, I can see why lol Suits to devs: Try and squeeze every last penny from our customers or you're fired Devs: but that will make the game bad, and…
I had a 2.5D project i was doing - for GZDoom as engine. In which i used DAZ Studio to create sprites for characters. Something like this: Yeah, i was doing NPR stylisation. So, instead of 2d spritework, i did certains poses and then made transparent renders with 0/30/45/60/90 degree rotation as it's needed for Doom…
