Re: Games that inspired you to get into games development (all areas)
Runescape (Classic Version) I was addicted since I was like 12 until I managed to speak to a developer in game and found it was actually a career. Gave me some advice, went to Uni and studied to become a 3D artist :) - practiced and still practicing today.. I was then lucky enough to be offered a Role by Jagex who make… -
Re: Sketchbook: aryarie
It's the weekend so it's time to just practice painting. :) I've bought the digital painting starter kit as I think learning to paint will help me make better textures and the videos I've watched so far on Ctrl+Paint have been great but I'd like to get a bit more in-depth with this. So I've spent a bit of time painting a… -
Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 6
Hey Esselle, Your is not half bad. It's a really good start. Just keep going and keep practicing. You will get there in time. I know I'm not that good. I still need alot of work, you just need to keep going, learning, taking crit, and practicing. Try to finish this month challenge even if you didn't finish on time. Just… -
Re: LOD - Technics - Insert Loop/Edge
@Prime8 - yes. the caveat i didnt mention was if it's isolated by hard edges etc. what you say is correct practice. @BugSeeker - In that situation you can project the normals up from the lower LOD to the more detailed LOD. This is a practice commonly used when you know you're usually going to see a middle range LOD or if… -
Re: Biggest issues you faced in learning game development ?
My biggest roadblock was unwrapping. I've made so many threads in the past asking for help. After much practice, looking back, I realize a lot of my issue was just bad topology practices. But for the longest time I could never figure out why I wasn't getting good bakes, why my edges still looked low poly, etc. Still to… -
Re: My Recent Work (Elven Noble)
Hi guys, It's been awhile, but I've finally finished the Elven Armor I been working and wanted to share it on the forum. The full character is an elven noble and I designed it to practice modelling workflows. My goal was to create a suit of armor that was lavishly decorated but still practical for actual fighting. Because… -
Re: I suck at figure modeling
While I'm not the greatest modeller on this site, I think you should try boxing out your model before trying to add the detail you're adding. Looking at what you've got there, you'll probably end up overwhelmed by the geometry when you get a bit further through the model. I think you just need to work on your topology,… -
Virtual Plein Air and Paintings Based on Photos
Hi There! Thought this would be a good place to dump some paintings I've done for practice and whatnot. I've recently been trying to do more virtual plein air paintings and practice getting better at picking and matching colors based on photos of real life. If you guys would like to comment or critique on whichever image… -
LOD Textures - Multiple or MipMap ?
Hi guys, I just have a question regarding the best practice for doing LODs. I have 3 LODs by building, LOD0, LOD1, LOD2. I have used Simplygon to do the lower LODs, and ended up with different textures for each LODs with downgraded resolution. That's fine, but my question is: Would it be more optimized to actually only use… -
Pomb Book
Hello everybody, After being inspired by the DW series, seeing all the amazing game art I've decided upgrade my skills as a 3d artist and am busy modeling/texturing a monk from Diablo III as some practice. I really love the hand painted feel Bobo and First Keeper get and am striving to get similar results one day. With…
