Okay I'm just going to post some more today. Why not?! Here are some up close shots of the face sculpting both before and after screenshots. I went ahead and grabbed my drawing tablet (Wacom) to make some "notes" As you can see I had some fun with drawing over the pictures. Anyway the first time I started to sculpt was not…
Meteora: I've never looked into Mudbox, but I'll give it a look for sure! Cheers! I've used photoshop for longer than I have used C4D, I own a wacom intuos 4 and really got into digital painting last summer, I've also played with zbrush with it and it was a lot of fun. But as my exams are really important this year (and…
Hey oXYnary, I used to do a ton of commuting, and it was all on a commencal hardtail with front suspension. I wouldn't use a suspension fork on a commuting rig ever again. I commuted through all weather and I don't know about Seattle but where I was the salt on the road wrecked havok on the bike. In particular the…
Ultimate Game Art Rig OS Windows 10 CPU - Depending on what form factor and software I would be using mostly. I have a love for tiny ITX builds so that would be tempting. 5960X or 6700k or Xeon E5-2687W v3 or two Xeon E5-2687W v3 GPU - Probably wouldn't do SLI since not many art applications take advantage of it 980ti…
Hey I'm a blender artist myself. Honestly, there are some plugins, such as the dota 2 shader but that is only after you have completed whatever you are working on (so you can give it a render for the marketing image). Other than that, blender is just a tool like maya and 3DS max. The way I learned it was just watching…
Im with you on that. Me and my lady had our time apart when she went to University and I drove 4 hours every weekend to see her. Then I got a job 2 hours away and she eventually moved in with me. When she had to move home to help her folks out of bankrupcy, I didnt last long and left Climax studios as I hated being away…
Windows 8.1 works fine and is meant for all. Having used both 7 and 8. I prefer 8. It boots faster, works with Multi Monitors easier, shows transfer speed graphs when working with files, USB 3.0 native support, and best? The click ring icon when attempting to use a wacom in a 3d program no longer happens. So I can go back…
imo that's a good idea, as you will only be a better game artist with strong traditional skills! My two cents about school - I go to a private art college and I actually think I learned tons in the first two years. But maybe that's just cuz I knew absolutely nothing about game art when I first got in ("What's a wacom…
I will be getting FEAR. Quake 4 looks like yet another boring FPS to me. FEAR on the other hand is made by monolith....one of the companies that has THE BEST track record for FPS games IMO. No One Lives Forever, Alien Vs. Predator 2, NOLF 2, Tron 2.0. All of them rocked. The marine missions in AvP2 were creepy as hell. One…
Downsizer, I get your point in that you could do a bunch of that stuff. But my point is that it would be inconvenient. Casual gaming/entertainment systems are popular because you can sit on the couch with a minimalist control mechanism, and just sit there and be entertained. People can chill out, socialize, and just play…
