and last question, my mom is so uncertain about what to do and i know you've helped me with the additional resources and critiques. In your honest opinion do you think i need to start COMPLETELY over , like complete overhaul to fundamentals or just refine with the level I'm currently at. She has no idea what concept art is…
So I read through it, honestly sounds like whoever is running the show at The Escapist is just looking for more attention versus verified facts. And jesus, its a global company with 261 people working on it. I'm pretty sure if I had over even 10 people working under me we all wouldn't agree on things all the time, get to…
So I've taken some of the suggestions from here and this is what I've come to, I'm still not at the part where I will be using the xiluil shader, Most probably because the rendering won't be done with that (most likely mental ray or vray) However important thing for me right now is to see how I can get the right maps for…
They haven't really "stopped" it though. I can launch Unity, create a cube with a basic character controller, and pay $100 and I can submit "Doob Simulator 2014" to Greenlight and hope that people who chuckle once at the name will upvote. Nothing is stopping me from doing any of that, in fact, you can just submit a concept…
You are definately improving, the only thing that you can do is just keep on practising and practising. If I were you I'd hold off on colour work until you are comfortable drawing/painting with values first. Nail the values and then colour comes later. Also I see that you are constantly using a full value range in your…
My bad, I should have been more specific, what I was noticing is on nearly all the shots they end with a Bezier type of slowing down of the camera, I think it would look better if the Camera went at the same speed throughout all the shots (except on some specific moments maybe) and I think this would make transitions look…
Roo: where you say you had better experiences with higher bit-depths for textures, that's where it fucks up for me. No matter how small, a 32-bit texture won't work for me. If I make it small (256) it just won't paint, but I can move the brush around, whereas with a 2048 32-bit texture, it'll hang for a few minutes every…
That's cool, don't give up. But remember before you invest more blood sweat and tears, this won't eliminate the seam 100%, it'll only make it less visible. If you really need it 100% seamless then you'd best not mirror that section. At least for this model it's not that huge a piece so you won't lose that much texture res…
"I met tons of gamers at Devry, we'd sit and talk about games for ours" My old Creative Director had a loaded question he asked in every interview: "Which would you say you are first, an artist interested in making games, or a gamer who wants to do what you've always loved." Artist = +1 Gamer = -100 He considered most…
I'm definately going 360...the DVD drive on my XBox is on it's last legs...I keep getting dirty disc errors...it was particularly bad when I went back to playing Ninja Gaiden the other week, and with the 360 being confirmed as backward compatable, it'll save me having to pay £100 to get a new xbox to play all my current…
