Im thinking E3 next year will be much better ...maybe . Im suprised none of you mentioned Zelda now that game looks awesome ! Did you get to play Soul Calibure 3 ? I thought the playstation 3 was awesome in general and it'll be an awesome consol to own...as well as the xbox 360 . Man the PC landscape was really barren this…
maybe we should start a DS forum? I got this game today, and all I can say is that I'm very impressed. I've not seen the GameCube title of the same name so everything is very new and exciting to me! I love the way the landscape rolls, as if you were on some giant rolling pin! I've only scraped the surface of this title,…
Hehe, I said "mostly indoor scenes" ;) I did some work on big landscapes in UDK and while it's certainly dooable it's nowhere near being intuitive. In fact, creating vast but open spaces is rather easy (if you don't mind limited number of terrain materials), but making dense forests can be a pain if you need a high level…
the soldier is my fave, but the vehicle is also very strong. I am surprised you havent got more medieval fantasy based characters here, since Bethesda's flagship games are Elder scrolls. Btw if/when you go for an interview check out the landscape generator for their new Elder scrolls game, its pretty amazing stuff. They…
There are definitely people who specialise in landscape and foliage work - 4-5% of the art team at my studio do that pretty much exclusively and pay is equivalent to any other environment artist afaik Being able to operate Speedtree effectively is a useful skill and will certainly be considered a plus when applying for…
Hello Polycount!, pretend you're an environment artist working on a project with a visual fidelity comparable to Bioshock Infinite for example. In other words, a sort of stylized realism aesthetic, so fairly realistic. You need to create a tileable grass texture for landscape to blend in with your grass card assets. If you…
For my first piece of environment art I decided to go with a mine shaft. I have modelled a basic concept in 3ds max, showing the general theme of what I want to achieve, this will all be produced in the ue4 engine. The idea behind this piece is that someone is standing inside the mine looking out into the open, the mine…
Hey folks, so off the tail end of my last project Gates of Horizon I was left with about 15 days of summer to create another portfolio piece. I decided to base my work on this concept from Guild Wars: I make it a point to choose environments with content I haven't experienced yet. During this project I learned: - UE4…
Hi mates ! MY MAIN OBJECTIVES - To pass through all the processes involved in the creation of outdoor environments - To rethink my workflow and be more confortable with Houdini / Zbrush ENVIRONMENTS' STUDIES : Frozen planet : I want to rework an old project. SKILLS TO IMPROVE : * Procedural terrain generation Houdini *…
Hello and greetings. This would be my first, shaking steps into the world of 3D art. I am currently studying at the Game Assembly and tought I'd keep my self a bit busy during the summer vacation. Well, that didn't happend, but I did start on something and I thought I'd keep myself a bit more motivated by sharing my…
