Agree with North, I prefer to just have a column of full res (1200+ pixels wide) images with no thumbnails. And by pick a focus I mean more like pick environment art or character art specifically to improve on (at least at first) because it can be really slow to try to work EVERY field at the same time. You can work in as…
I am this Zwebbie person Swizzle speaks of! I agree that the sketchbook idea is probably problematic. Whoever gets to pick something from Makkon's sketchbook wins then and there. Here be list. Remember that I'm willing to go for anything as long as it's not bloody Warcraft, it's just advice. - Retro sci-fi is based on…
I like that the xbox 360, my tv and my PC are working more and more in tandem with each other, if I can use my xbox live account to play multiplayer on both systems, great. The ideal situation in my humble opinion is if a console hooked up to your PC AND your tv, so you could play the way you want depending on the title.…
heh, that reminds me of a Warcraft III game I was playing against my flatmates (free for all) - there were originally 6 of us playing, but 2 haven't had much practise, so got wiped out fairly early on ... then me and my friend eventually knocked out the other 2 players so it was just me versus him ... we had used up…
Hey Kippernicus, I've been looking at this and thinking about what you were talking about with a bend toward World of Warcraft in the building style, and I was wondering what you thought about this paintover: I'm suggesting that you make the roofs much more pointed, and possibly curve the bridge roof a bit inward. That…
I start working on the tree. Its really hard at the beginning for i have to figure out the color. It's still not done but i'm kinda happy with what it look like now. :) . Then something crazy came into my mind :poly122:. I think that could be cool if there is a aircraft crash into the environment. May be a Yodle like the…
After some time on other projects I've gone back to spending some time back on the plane. Thankfully substance painter saved me for painting the camouflage and with it's cool particle effect tools I managed to make some fairly nice weathering, although it looks a bit harsh at the moment. Below is my latest render inspired…
The aircraft can be upgraded to make them faster, and I'll probably have a 5 minute game mode where you start with pre-upgraded aircraft. I don't think I'll be changing the scale at this stage - I'm pretty happy with the size of the map and the sprites as they are. I've made them big enough so that you can still see them…
Got around to working on the cockpit. I just took elements of various aircraft and mashed them together. The instrument panel is largely based off the Sopwith F.1 Camel, the exposed structure is from the Stearman 75, The seat is from an unknown WW2 aircraft, and so on and so on. Still got to add a few more elements and…
Hello fellow CG junkies! My name is Nicholas McBride and I have recently joined the Polycount ranks in hopes of becoming a better artist. It would do me a great service if I could have my portfolio critiqued. My reel is focused primarily on animation. However, the reel does contain a character that I modeled, sculpted,…
