Crimson Glory
Welp.. I landed a freelance games job, working on the spiritual sequel to Soldat. I'm doing all of the main art, from concepts to 3D. The gameplay is a cross between Worms and Unreal Tournament, so the sprites don't appear too large on the screen. The character in this shot is 504 triangles with a 512 x 512 map (final will… -

Re: What is the best approach to modeling building interiors? Modular? Not modular?
So it is best to use the modular approach whenever possible. Although I saw a video of the guys from Escape from Tarkov, they modeled a building that could be perfectly modular and opted to model-everything. I think it is a method that is also correct but it is still not a good option if maximum optimization is sought.… -
Re: [Finished] Sorcerer Character
The above post was what I initially went for, a hand painted style character with unlit textures,and It being my first hand painted character i learned alot from creating her. Mainly using software like 3D Coat for the first time. Shes about 14k Tris total including the base. I used mainly zbrush for sculpting. topogun to… -
Re: Some work from hobbyst.
So, WIP', WIP's, WIP's: I have done another asset for my small enviro: it's not a PRO, but I almost like the final look of that. I made this several times because I had some problems with viewport and models. But finally it's done. Maybe I'll do a small correct for the tree canopy. And it's very lot's of tris: 5 138 on one… -
Re: The role Environment Artist & Level Designer at your studio
Yeah, I think you got it wrong. Imagine you are working for 14h straight, for the 6th day in a row, you have half a level to texture, and you got almost no time to do it, are you gonna tell your publisher to fuck off while you make a nice custom texture for this door that you run past in a few seconds in the campaign, or… -
Re: Jaggy edges? Maya
Leave the resolution at 72. Even if you were rendering for print its usually faster for Maya to just render at 3 - 4 times the dimension sizes than it is to render at 300 dpi*. Then go into the Maya Software tab, and change the Quality drop-down to Production Quality. This is a preset that will also change the Edge… -
Re: suggestions for a new mouse?
3 or so years ago it was about 50£, now 145£. I'd say its a decent investment unless they start producing them again. My wife got a bright red Mad Catz Rat 9 (on sale -50%) couple months ago. It looks amazing and I love how much customization you can do. Especially the fact you can change the width and add new bits to hold… -
Re: Buying a work laptop need advice
I cannot recommend my Y series Lenovo enough. I does in fact have a 960m insteaed of a 980m, but damn is it a SOLID laptop (and also 300 less + new instead of open box + 16gb of RAM). I have the Y500, first gen of the line, and 3 years later it still feels and runs new. I do however take very good care of it, it should be… -
Re: 3D Scanning and its impact on the games industry
If you can sculpt in zbrush then you can already work on scan data. Imagine if another artist sculpted a head and handed it off to you to finish, but it's missing pieces of the ears, covered in noisy bumps and blobs, and the hair is completely unusable. You then go through the process of cleaning/re-sculpting/smoothing all…
