Hey Guys! [Update 10/02/18] Currently working on my first environment in UE3. I picked this concept because I liked the challenges it presented, and I thought that it would be small enough for me to tackle. It's my first time blocking everything out with BSP brushes, and I wasn't able to get all the correct shapes I wanted…
Hey all just wanted to show off a quick model I made for my kid. Its a unicorn piggy bank. I modeled and hollowed it in zbrush with the shell being a thickness of 1.6mm, then made the supports in maya which led me to the only issue I actually had with this project. An apparent glitch with slicing program Cura. Cura…
You're absolutely right of course. I should start off with thumbnails of composition and then go from there. I started this piece off as a character illustration with no background. I experimented with adding in some background action to give it some more context but as it goes on it's just not working because I didn't…
I don't know anything about any Pentagon camera files, but I do have a question for the guys who think it was faked or whatever: Why do you have such a high opinion of the Bush administration's ability to pull this off? If correct, you're saying that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al needed less than 8 months to put together a…
OK, so its beet a while since updating, went to the London Polycount meetup and got some insight into the scene so far. Then went to EGX Rezzed and had a chat with the Creative Assembly artists on the Throne scene and my portfolio in general. And then as of today I met the lead character artist at Lionhead Studios, so…
Good stuff man!! This little animation has come a long way :D Lots of improvement on each shot, like when he pulls it up the hill, and the run at the end. I know you're hoping to finish it soon, but there's still a few things sticking out at me: First, the first cut when he starts pushing it up the hill. I know everyone…
That's also about when ArtStation took off as well. Forums in general have slowly died off. They are slower if you need instant feed back or critiques, but also not as ideal for showing off work like ArtStation or even Instagram. But what forums are still great at are break downs, write ups, and internet searchability. I…
About Aero don't know if its been mentioned but Turn it off If you want to know why just got in max and show fps move around a 1mil poly sphere with wireframe turned on and then turn off aero and test it. For me i get a huge increase in fps when aero is off. I use windows Basic theme with this skin, Its easy to add and…
You might prefer Trackball Rotation set to off (But I recommend trying it for awhile; it's quite a good system). To toggle it off press O to open the viewport controls and under Drawing and Control tab > 3D mouse and set Trackball Rotation to off. You might also prefer Orbit selected to be enabled; something to try anyway.…
