Re: The Hobbit
I had the exact same thought about the CGI in both Hobbit movies until I realized something. It was never meant to look real. Lord of the rings was approached as "this is happening" So everything has a very realistic and gritty feeling. In a lot of cases you feel like you are actually there right next to the characters.… -
Re: I *just* watched epi 2 and 3 of Star Wars and...
[ QUOTE ] Episode 3 was a big pile of shiny CG poo. [/ QUOTE ] I couldn't possibly agree more. I don't think any amount of cg polish made up for the appalling travesty of ROTS. Of all the aspects that make up the Art of film-making, the special effects, cinematography and audio were about the only out of the many that were… -
Re: [Max] mesh exploder for baking normal maps
trying to do it based on position, center, and/or bounding box is fancy but it leaves tricky situations like highpoly floaters, or 2 meshes with the center or position on same location example : a sphere inside of a donut the program cant autodecide which mesh the floater belongs to since pivot is offset quite a bit could… -
Remote Work: 3D modeling or 2D Concept Art?
Greetings polycounters! I'm in a bit of a dilemma, and I wanted to hear your take on it. I currently consider myself a 3D artist (Mostly props, buildings, with a bit of environments) and I am currently unemployed.

Re: Suicide Squad
Didn't like it, didn't hate it. Meh. The story was very generic superhero movie fare, which was disappointing considering the hype about it being different from other comic book movies, but at least it wasn't infuriating like the garbage heap that was Batman v Superman's plot. I feel like the reshoots and re edits of the… -

Re: How do I take this from 'Eh, it's alright' to 'Portfolio material'?
I would start looking more into learning lighting, that is the difference between an eh piece and a great piece and right now the quality of the lighting is what is dragging this piece down, which otherwise could be a lot more interesting. Here are a few resources that could help you a bit with the lighting. A few of my… -
Re: Those who Aren't in Games but work in 3D professionally, where do you work?
I'm the lead 3d artist at Forum Energy Technologies doing this stuff: http://www.f-e-t.com/our_products_technologies/subsea-solutions/vmax-project-simulator-software/ Basically it's a video game that trains ROV pilots with multiple scenarios. Developing assets for it is really no different from any type of game art…
