RIOT GAMES ART CONTEST 2014
From snow-frosted peaks in the Freljord to the arid wastes of the Shurima desert; from portly, ale-aficionados like Gragas to eldritch terrors like Vel’koz, the world of Runeterra and League of Legends is a mélange of vistas and villains sure to push all of your inspiration-buttons. At Riot, they take art serious and silly… -
Huntress character - Need feedback on design, hair, face modelling!
Hi Polycount, I'm new here. I just graduated college (the UK kind) and I want to start applying for jobs. (Don't want to go Uni for various reasons). I do not want to be a character artist at the start because I find it too difficult, and the competition far too fierce, but I will certainly make more characters some time… -
Need extra buttons? (hardware for shortcut keys)
Hey guys! I just stumbled upon another cool use for a piece of hardware I've had for awhile and thought I'd share. I've had a cheap $60 mini drum pad (you can get a cheaper one for $35, posted at the bottom of this post) I use for working with music and found a program that can remap the midi inputs to any combination of… -
Re: Yet even more hand painted textures...
emulating others people work for education is fine, even flattering so don't worry about that just note you are learning to make reality off a representation, (copy of a copy) So no one wants you to look at a texture and replicate it, not from an integrity stand point but as a model for learning. The paint overs/examples… -
Re: Warcraft style Tower
Thanks guys! Was worried as this is the first time trying hand painted technique and first time using a wacom. Not sure I'm doing it right still to be honest. When I first started using it, it was like using felt-tip pens, when I wanted it to be water colours. chrisradsby-thanks Jeffro- had a quick look at your link and I… -
Re: Polygonal modeling vs sculpting?
well i don't know. i think anyone boasting about being a zsphere master is probably not so much ahead of the pack but more of a 2.5d weirdo... :) if your talking about modeling everything from a sphere then thats just dumb from a production point of view. even starting out with a dyna-mesh blob or a sphere voxel in 3dcoat… -
Seeking guidance
First off let me say I've been lurking on and off here for years to view the great work that is posted up in the pimping and previews. I used to draw all the time up until around 10th grade or so. I mostly just sketched, never did much color work. I was actually pretty good for my age/experience. Well at least everyone… -
Re: Feedback: the Escape, contests/challenges
Hey! First off, I really wanna say thanks to the admins for running this challenge. It was an incredible experience, and I learned so much from my teammates, each of them being really specialized in something I was not as familiar with. It was a great sharing of technique and ideas :D 1. I love the large, open-themed,… -
Re: University Courses
lets assume for a moment you carry this line of thinking through to uni ... ... i don't think you'd do well on any art course in higher education if you're not going to appreciate the importance of traditional art techniques. If you're lucky, your tutors might think that's great, to be shunning all those flaky types in… -
Re: Is being a successful 3d artist a loophole?
You'll have to bear out my well worn pessimistic viewpoint here but I think the problem is that those guys make 'art' and want to continue to make 'art'. We in the games industry produce artifice. Theres a world of difference. Art is not appreciated in the games industry, artifice and the ability to quickly churn out…
