Re: Various hand Painted Props
I've been busy at work but we're winding down now so I've been noodling on this for a little bit here and there. Still in the really early modeling phase but at least the textures are all almost finished :p I just need to put a little more polish on them but I'll do that ~after~ I get everything lit. No point in making a… -
Re: what if ... viewport navigation was taken care of for you ? maxscript idea
Hey sync, sorry if I wasn't explaining myself too well - was a bit busy at work. Managed to replicate this at home however; so hopefully I can stop typing gibberish! OK. So, what I have noticed is that when you frame a polygon using your tool, the camera will not pivot around the selection, as with say, zoom-extents. At… -
Re: Portfolio
some nice stuff, i like the simple non-filtered shots of the characters - lets people get a look at the textures without clamouring for the flats. However, you might want to replicate this effect in a proper render : there's something distinctly half-arsed about viewport grabs that puts a lot of people off. The same goes… -
Re: Texturing Feedback
Its a cool item, whatever it is. At the moment though the texturing is a bit generic. If your going to keep it that way you could probably size down the texture and not lose much detail at all. But if you want to improve it, as Kawe said find some reference and try to replicate the look of certain surface textures and… -
Re: Modeling with a Pen rather than a Mouse
It really depends on the software. If the software makes full use of the mouse as an input device then I stick with the mouse. Most 3d packages don't however, and aside from limited use of a mousewheel, there's little advantage a mouse will offer other than ergonomic preference. Silo is one of the only apps to take full… -
Re: What do I need to learn to become a Material Artist?
My specialist subject... I reject over 80% of applicants to these roles before interview. This is sometimes because they are objectively awful but mostly because I see a wall of heavily displaced material balls replicating tutorials by the artists mentioned in the OP and just switch off. The people who get through to… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | September - October (68)
Good idea, I think that sounds like the way to go! Your prop is looking excellent, btw. I've spent a good deal of time today planning out various rendering techniques for achieving the Ghibli-inspired style I'm pursuing. I think I've got a good plot for how to achieve the grass, quick test in Blender, should be able to… -
Re: Advice to Improve my 3D Character Art Portfolio
+1 to the prior comments, and an additional note. It may also help to drop making your own concepts for your portfolio pieces. They're a little hard to understand/cryptic, and that's the last thing you need when applying to a more practical job where you will usually be replicating a more down-to-earth concept. You may… -
Re: Master Chief Fan Art
TONS BETTER!!!! good job i really like how you improved it the overall feel of the model and spacialy its alot better! but i feel your proportions are still off by comparing the 2 you see how the chiefs leg is almost in line with his hip, think if you did that i would really fix alot of things your torso seems a bit… -
Re: A Survival Horror MMO/MUD Project
I remember a HL MMO-ish mod a long while back by just making each server zone and with triggers causing players to get sent to another server. However with HL you have access to a good chunk of C++ code and would be able to integrate MySQL or some other general DB sharing system, I don't think that's possible with any of…
