Re: Mike's 2D art improvement thread
I think you can push the idea of destruction further. At the moment it's feeling odd that one side of the room is destroyed, while the other side is completely unscathed. Consider construction a bit more and how stone can break. At the moment it's looking as if someone has just removed a few stone bricks from the wall,… -
Re: 3DS Max vs Maya
That is subjectively speaking, not objectively. I respect your opinion, but I just have to disagree entirely that the quick modeling I experience comes down to knowing the application better. I honestly believe that Maya is faster when it comes to quickly modeling out base meshes and snapping verts. The UI along with… -
Re: Rock Throw Critique
Hey Gavin. I'm a fellow Full Sailer here. Nice work on your animation. I myself am pretty much of a noob, but I'll throw in my 50 cents here, if you don't mind. I think your animation is pretty good overall, but it is lacking in a few spots. One thing is the lifting move - while you do have a nice anticipation, I think the… -
Re: lighting/environment portfolio
The work looks good! I especially love the Dead Space 3 lighting. I personally dislike frames as a way to navigate. You've hidden the scroll bars, so the only way I could scroll is by using my middle mouse button/wheel, but not everyone uses a middle mouse button. CSS is better for website layout. The menu takes a lot of… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Fantastic write-up, Joe, thank you for explaining these concepts in a detailed and clear manner. Have you thought about teaching a class? Also interesting and insightful discussion following, thanks everyone! My two cents regarding the last two comments.... If you are modeling and baking in the same software, then the low… -
Re: First animated scene - Feedback needed
Hi! I dont feel that I'm good enough to give you any good feedback, but my overall thought was that the character felt stiff/mechanical. Ex: when the hands hit the table at the start, the lower arm rotates up mechanically and after that it goes forward and hits perfectly. Try to make it arc more, make it swing up above the… -
Re: [WIP] Snowy Keep
I might be completely off with this so take it with a bit of salt, I don't know much about composition. I get the feeling that when viewed from the entrance side there are some incongruences with the scene. With a bright sky like that, I would expect the flame to seem less bright (less contrast + light interference etc). I… -
Re: Breaking Bad
I think Walt's Transformation was absolutely stunning and greatly portrayed. If you follow the symbolism, it even shows through Walt's facial hair. First the clean shaved good guy, than the goat T Heisenberg and than the full bearded broken man that wised up. I found that in the end you saw a final Walter White /… -
Re: Copyright, IP, and infringement. Oh my!
I'm gonna do my last post in this thread because it's a topic that will never we will never be done discussing. I just want to add to Blaizer that sometimes the creators needs to see it from the consumers view too, and the legal consumer are the people who pays for the studio's efforts in stopping piracy with stupid DRM… -
Re: Programmers, some can scare the s**t out of me....
Just stumbled across this thread, I figure hey I have 2 cents why not toss them in right here! What's amazing to me is how almost every post in this thread is so far off from the original intent or at least the intent I got from the original post; which I read as follows: "man I have had some weird interactions during my…
