Re: 3D Environment Art Portfolio Critiques- Graduating soon...Am I ready for the job?
Agreed with @griffitii 's feedback especially re: the Alley piece not matching the concept art. Concept is very paint-y and stylized and your execution does not reflect that. Modeling and modularity etc looks solid, as he pointed out, but matching concept art is a big part of being an environment artist. One thing that I… -
Re: Outdoor lighting
well as your rendering in max using the light tracer (arnt you?), unless you are going to lightmap the whole scene you are using HDR, all it really means is that your rendering with values not between 0-1 (or o-255 in the colour channels) but values that could go up to infinity. now the issue is that when it renders it wil… -
Re: Monster Hunter 4
It was bad for the fans, not necessarily Capcom. Monster Hunter got its success on the playstation platforms, even the PC platform which they have as a sort of MMORPG over there. Capcom jumped on the nintendo wii bandwaggon when they thought thats where the market was going...sure nintendo sold a ton of wii consoles, but… -
Re: UV puzzle
Is this a main character? Will the face be the focus for a cinematic in the future? Is it a unique face? Does the face animate? A yes to any one of these would bias toward having a separate face and body page. However it can still be one mesh. Is this a generic NPC? Most likely a distant enemy or have distant interactions… -

Vig: more character artists than animators...? where? in the EU/UK biz all i see is environment artist and animator positions being advertised. last place had TONS of animators (literally dozens of 'em) and was still outsourcing overflow animation work at times, despite having a huge inhouse mocap setup and all.… -
Re: Old Fishing Bait Shop
Hi Progg, I've been following this thread since the very beginning and the outcome is really nice. One detail I noticed is the trees bark looks a little flat, like if trunk and branches were very smooth. A rough normal map, or even a bump map could help breaking the specular that gives that impression. I'm with adam, the… -
Re: WOW: Mists of Pandaria And Kungfu Panda
Fuse, I dont know if you intend it or not, but your choice of words and comment style can be perceived as elitist and self serving . I also did not back peddle, but I did re-articulate since many went on and made broader assumptions when objectively there was nothing there to begin with. The number of people I have heard… -
Re: College and the future of LoMChaos ;P
they don't use those terms in 'merica land Danr; college (commonly called university I thought over there?) is definitely worth doing and should be something you ENJOY. I will always recommend going to a normal University for a BFA over going to any school specializing in "games design" or whatever else they're peddling.… -
Re: Chaos Boiling Oil - From WAR Concept
doc_rob - Thanks :) . Cool to see that one of the Mythic guys likes it, is this one of your concepts? kaburan - Thanks man, the spec has been driving me nuts. I think it looks better now, but I'm saving the update for later when I've gotten more done. ZackF - Yeah I've tried a ton of stuff to get the textures to look… -
Re: Man released after 35 years for TV theft
[ QUOTE ] Tell you what, Keyser - give me your grandmother's address so I can go over to her house, <allegedly> beat hear ass, and then steal her television. We'll see how you feel about crime and punishment after that, k? [/ QUOTE ] That is a horrible argument. Even if it were to change my opinion, it would only be…
