Re: Is it just perfectionism?
When working on something all you will ever see are the mistakes, the things you never got chance to fix. Its part of being an artist, if you wasn't questioning your own work I would worry about how you hoped to progress forward. In a professional level its the same, Crytek UK had a level go out for GamesCom recently and I… -
Re: General Retopology question
That's quite a stretch. The rendering tools in Zbrush, even in R2, are still far more inline with prototype work than suited for producing a quality final result. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome you can drop in a HDRI and some waxy SSS now, though in application they are still faked, but those additions hardly make it a… -
Re: How often do you use Zbrush as an Environment or prop artist?
HP: thats kinda what i figured too. just wanted some metrics to support that idea. Ghostscape: that sums up my experience with it entirely. When more time and resources are available in both time and computing power, zbrush gets more use. Which makes me wonder how it'll integrate into the next generation on consoles. Maybe… -
Re: Sci fi design tips or tutorials
* slightly biased avid reader * Summed up beautifully. People often think that going on CgHub & building a reference folder is enough these days. Wrong! Books stimulate your brain to build its own visual Library. There was a thread a while back that discussed this point in detail. A main point was a recruiter who commented… -
Re: Studding Anatomy

Form, Archetype, Character, Tools, Silhouette ---- It helps too that you base your designs on reality. If… -
Re: Seeing great art done in short times, do you get depressed?
there's a million factors that play into how fast anything gets done... there's certain things that you can adequately gauge on how fast it can be completed, and at what level... this of course plays into experience and skill... but why seeing great art done on short time frames would make one depressed seems to be more of… -
Re: dutch windmill
[ QUOTE ] But I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by normalized. Could you please elaborate or provide a link? [/ QUOTE ] Normal maps represent the same thing as vertex normals, but on a per pixel basis - and that thing is a vector which determines how that pixel receives lighting. In order for a vector to really mean… -
Re: Anything we can do about bad art schools?
A website takes at most a weekend to set up if you want to make it basic, hardly a big issue at all to put examples of your best work on. Back in the mid 90's there was nothing for game art/design. It was pretty much all generalised art/design/creative courses. If you wanted to apply it to any specific thing that was up to…
