Re: Hard surface blade
Wouldn't be much of a blade if it wasn't hardsurface :tongue: I think you should work more on the textures, there isn't any real edge definition and the textures look very "even" over the flat areas. If you could break it up with some edge wear and some more variation to the black front of the weapon I think it would… -
Re: Sketchbook: RMO
on a organic practice break i continued to search for the best hard surface workflow. right now im practicing using the cad-modo workflow that i just found out about, didnt know anything about the rounded edges shader and was flabbergasted when read about it that i got myself an extra present this christmas, modo seems… -
Re: [Portfolio] George Sokol, Environment Artist
Hey George I think your off to a pretty good start with your work. I like the city scene and the design of the buildings. Some of the brick textures do have a obvious repeating pattern when viewed from afar. Maybe try more grunge overlays, decals to break it up and add more contrast. I'm no professional as of yet, by any… -
Re: John Valenti | Environment Artist Portfolio WIP
your presenation is all over the place. Need to think in steps. High poly, low poly, textures, and maybe a beauty render. Loose the noise backgrounds ( with pics n stuff ) on your break down shots. Text should be small and easy to read. As you have things at the moment, the text is getting way more attention than the… -
Re: DC's Lobo - character- WIP - feedback?
Welcome to Polycount FrederikP! Maybe doing the facial tattoos would help him read more like Lobo. Those and the cigar are his trademarks. The meathook is a bit wimpy as well. Fatten up the chain a bit to ;) Otherwise I feel like he is sort of a 50's rockabilly style. Maybe you could style him to look like he suddenly… -
Re: Twisted Swamp - Tropical Environment WIP
Looking good man, although i have a few crits. :D I think the water could so with some reflections and refractions, right now it dosen't read very well as water. Id also get rid off the god rays as your environment isn't strong enough to suggest them. Make the environment a lot brighter and stick a sun in there if you… -
Re: Maya 2009 Transfer Map Normal Map Baking (digitizing)
I'd suggest using Smooth/Harden Edge/Set Normal Angle over Average Normals if these are being sent out to a game engine. It's easier to manage and make corrections to the smoothing afterwards. http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap?action=show&redirect=Normal+Map#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges For the most part, smoothing on… -
Re: How to Plan for Success -- lessons from the military
Whilst this is a good plan for some people I don't think it is the only way to break into games as a 3d artist. I think you can take a more gentle approach. You dont need to be tough. I always valued having a work, life, balance and realised early on that while this was a passion for me I wanted to enjoy life and take my… -
Re: First GDC: What Do?
Got some stuff together. Some of it hasn't come in the mail yet-- (I'm addicted to Amazon Prime). New shoes with memory foam! Been breaking them in all week Business cards with a fancy business card holder. Reserve battery for cell phone. Tablet with preloaded portfolio content. One bag and journal for notes. Guess which… -
Re: imported models have wrong scale (Max2015)
Strange, woder where im troubles are then, I was asuming wallworms importer is breaking things, or maybe its just compatibility issues with Max2015. I did read that the decopilation and unpacking of the native files needs the current soruce SDK (and seemingly some manual modifications as its not up to date for dota models)…
