Hi Mike I'm surprised to find this thread on page three without any comment. Your portfolio is far better than many ones i've seen. So here are my 2 cents. I find the presentation quite clear and easy to navigate. I'm not a great fan of lightbox but if you use it, it would be nice to be able to jump from one image to the…
Because companies don't care enough or they're unaware, really. Some of them might even appreciate the brand recognition, though that'll be a minority. For example, the people at Spalding might not be aware of such sites. Sure they have (perhaps) some deals with E.A. about branding, but the people there working at…
evil non-cyborg general wasn't open enough last time? seriously if your first thought when you read the theme is something completely different then maybe you should rethink your concept instead of trying to get the rules changed to fit your concept. this happens a lot in our own Challenge forum too. just like a couple…
saw the first day first show in india yesterday. I was actually pretty happy with the movie. The few things i didn't like were the lame sections after the "black suit"... u know.... the dancing down the street and stuff.... plus, the fact that Venom [my favourite baddie by far] got so little screen time was annoying [even…
Hi guys, first time poster here so sorry if I break any rules. I think I'm posting in the right place for this. So I'm trying to create a pirate for University using only 3Ds max, Maya and Mudbox. I'm trying to go about creating a bit of hair, the eyebrows and beard. All the brilliant models I've seen are using fibermesh…
It was a fun party! Lots of new people to meet and Motus has an awesome setup. One of the best I have seen in the industry!! My favorite part was getting to expose Vahl to a true waffle house with the usual fun late night shift! Good old Ricky cooked us up a great meal and had many different talks like dealing drugs vs…
@Fabi_G Ok, this is really useful info. Would you mind answering a couple questions? For example, if you pack all the uvs together per asset and maximize UV space, how do you deal with very large and long objects, for example on a boat. (I made a pirate ship a long time ago that I struggled to get textures that weren't…
Sure it can work, but you have to design systems to make it work. What is that new MMO being ported from Asia, using CryEngine? It has a very robust trading system, that FORCES players who wish to advance in the endgame to behave similiarly to the way that a real trader would behave. They have to choose trading routes, and…
The “Rammer” airplane went through an additional concept phase because we were not entirely happy with it. The original concept is the one on the right (preview render). The one we went with is the one on the left (preview render). It has a front which is more pronounced, especially if seen from above. I started working on…
@PyrZern, I import, the problem is not the high poly details, but to apply it later in the low....I just don't want to smooth all, waste polys were you don't see and make the maps strange because of that (not use more polys just in areas that are needed) Now about your model - I like the details and all (how I do the…
