Re: How fast should I be making models?
Keep in mind that every model is different. The time it takes to model a medieval, painterly chair for games is very different than it takes to make a futuristic chair for movies. It depends. Also keep in mind that artists always want to improve their work, so nothing is ever perfect. You will always find something that… -
Re: I keep changing my mind.
It depends on your employment goals. If you plan on working for large companies then your best bet is to specialize in one. Don't worry too much about which currently has the best job outlook, the job market changes quite rapidly. The most important thing is practicing a lot to become a great artist, and reaching a level… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Hey man, I think you are focusing a bit too much on details throughout these pieces but they lack form and shape, and I mean it geometrically and on the overall coloring you apply. I 'd say before going into detail try to apply some large areas of color and contrast and make the silhouette strong to enable the viewer to… -
Re: Best MA study in Game Art and not have a ridiculous price
I'm currently doing the MA at herts, as well as lecturing on the BA (bachelors is before masters). My only comment would be that i didn't expect there to be as big an emphasis on research, and theory as there is. There is still a good practical element, and the tasks we've been assigned have made me think a little… -
Re: Low/Mid poly body criticism
Right, went over it all again after some more practice, if there are any methods for creating the bum that would be great, cant seem to get the curvature well enough, decided once this is decent enough, will do some anatomy practice within z-brush/mudbox. side note: for character creation within an engine, if the character… -
Re: Blue seams dissapearing from Unwrap UVW in 3Ds Max
Dont panic, that comes with practice. Once your up to speed you should be able to pelt map a character in less than a few hours. It takes a bit of practice though. It may help you to use material colors while your modelling. By assigning material IDs you can keep track of regions that you plan to map later. Use a multi-sub… -
Re: Hand Painted Buildings Project
@ Wirrexx Yea man, next chance I get I will throw something together :) and you are correct, I made one base shingle then copy pasta-ed it 5 times and made each one unique, then copy pasta-ed those into the pattern above. I will post something more clear later though.) @ SaferDan Thanks! And I agree entirely, the stones… -
Re: PBR Question ?
Nope. Not at all. Check these tutorials specifically: http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-theory http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-practice Metalness maps are just a mask that defines what materials are metal (white) and what materials are non-metal (black), and automatically assigns accurate-enough specular… -
Re: Project wip asset pieces.
i don't think he's sugesting think of a reason for why the cigarettes are so detailed now that the are modeled.. but more think before you model. before you model think of what you are modeling. if you just wanted to practice modeling and these were not being made for any type of game reason then do whatever you want. but… -
Re: Summoning Crystal
I agree with what others have said about your concept. I know you just threw it together for practice, now expand on it and get some more practice! I'm a fan of gnarled crystals, myself. ;D Maybe have it floating above an interesting levitation thingy-majig pr, if you don't like the whole "look at me, my crystals float"…
