So I tried painting a person. I figured that what Im really lacking is an idea behind my pictures. A story so to say... and I haven't really done any characters so I thought I'd try it out. So I picked a reference image of Aki Hoshino to keep me interested. I didn't manage to get that cute asian look and well.. it doesn't…
I got the game a couple of days ago and so far I am hating most of it. The character designs for the main characters are awful, but I knew that going in. The skin textures on the bodies of the male characters are freakish. The intro was a shameful rip-off ("you got your Episode 1 in my Final Fantasy!") and a rip-off of…
You realize all thoes artists were COMMERICAL artists? usually paid by indivduals or the CHURCH to paint something speciifc, that had a speciifc purpose. Portraits, biblical scenes, ect. They were the epitomy of commercial art/design Hell Rembrant didn't get paid by half the people in his famous Night Watch painting…
Pipe cat gave me a good laugh but to be honest I don't think it'd be a great idea for several reasons. The biggest would probably be the fact that it would be impractical to attach a cat to a pipe to use as a weapon. If you hit somebody with it, they'd feel the soft cat and not the metal (at least I think that's what would…
oh my god, i have the teeth dream too very often except it's not just my teeth falling out but entire pieces of jaw bone as well and i keep trying to hold them in place except i'm worried i'm not holding them in the right places and they will fuse back all deformed and crap. i had a dream once that the skin on my face…
increase the felt time that you're off work. When you take breaks, leave the office. take a short walk. Get fresh air and some sunshine and move your bones a little bit. I also hate eating at the office. I rather have a snack and a nice meal at home later - it makes everything feel less "crunchy". If the meal is nice it…
In all honesty, most of the hate that Gates got in the 90's was typical nerd rage; people would hate the guy because their OS had crashed. On the other hand, if we weight having a monopoly in a rapidly developing IT sector worth billions of dollars against saving ~6 million lives, then I say it was worth it. I would gladly…
Mialx, but I think if i had the same enthusiasm for animation as modelling and texturing then i would spend the required time to get at least good at it. I am not sure if I would be down with all the techinal side of it - involves thinking too much:) also doesn't game anim these days involve a lot of cleaning up mo cap?. I…
This was the answer for me! I had the same problem as OP and have been trying to solve this for two days. I use Blender, so I had my mirror modifier BEFORE my triangulation modifier. This means that triangulation happens after mirroring, so the mesh is not the same on both sides but the UVs are, hence the weird…
I'm glad things are smoothing out, but I've got a bit more to say as I'm kind of going through what would be the next logical step for you (somewhat) When my wife and I got married nearly 10 years ago I still didn't know what I really wanted to do with my life. I have always been an artist, but it took me a long while to…
