Re: My Year Long Trek
Hey guys, sorry to just butt in but I am thankful for the thread. I am a 3d generalist making the transition to game art and am about to start a similar process. Bartalon, seeing your process and what worked/didn't work over the past months really helps me plan out my next 6 months or so. Going through this thread shows… -
Re: Alpha Map Chains in video games?
That mesh you have right now is far more complex than what I had. Here's my mesh: My texture wasn't very efficient for a single prop. I made a strip of 4 links on the left 25% of the texture - my intention was a combined sheet and I would fill up the other 75% with similar strips, like rope and wires. I made it a 4-link… -
Re: Ghost Helmet (project hostile)
I've been doing 3D for about 10 years now. I've used 3ds max since version 3. I'm still kind of a noob tho because I didn't really take it seriously until after I graduated college. I really used to ride that "oh that's impressive, you're doing really cool stuff for a 15 year old!" thing. Remember other 14 year olds aren't… -
Re: Sketchthread !!!!
killing: yeah that tutorial is what caused me to do those two sketches/paintings. i just need to learn when to use what size brush is it better to use solid colored 100% opacity brushes or set the opacity lower 18-25% and build up the color? i started with 100% opacity on the Emma sketch but the switched to a lower opacity… -
Re: NFS World Online
Played the beta for 2 hours... And I couldn't get past the damn auto-brake when your crusing below 25 km/h (Which I found super annoying in the past nfs's, since I like to time my getway, instead my car shuts down and I get hosed) Brings nothing really new too the table. Pretty much the same as all the other NFS by black… -
Re: Hand Painted Texture(s) - Practice and Critique
Your original was way better rgb0 is not a color, do not use it. Think of paining on the 0-100 brightness scale, never go out of the 25-75 brightness range. This way, when you LIGHT your scene, the texture has somewhere to go (brighter or darker). You can paint this all in greyscale for learning (makes it easier). From… -

You deleted the </div> tag for your footer.

Re: How common are standing desks in the industry?
Most VFX studios I've been to offer them but require you to get a medical note from your doctor. It's easy and soo worth it. I've had a standing desk since my first job and can't go back. I even made sure to have one at home and recently got a motorized one which is rather handy. I'm probably at 75% standing and 25%… -
Re: A gameart desktop
You don't have to overclock it's not compulsory but... The i7 3770K is easily overclocked to 4.2ghz with volt settings at stock, so for about (I think) $25 / $35 more your going from a stock clock speed of 3.5ghz to 4.2ghz, that's a massive performance boost. You can't do this on an i7 3770 as they are not built for… -
Re: How does job relocating affect your personal life?
Relocating was the best thing that ever happened to me. I moved from Belgium to France (Bordeaux) back in june 2014 for my first job and things have just been great. Now, I'm a 25 years old single guy so it's pretty easy for me to move to another country and start a new life. Of course, you will leave familly and friends…
