Re: Question about displacement maps
Every high-end CG hero character you've seen in practically every film will have painted/sculpted disp maps. But 'low-poly' isn't exactly that in VFX/film. The organised mesh will have a very dense topology to support complex rigging systems and will be using render-time subdivs to support the displacement mapping. -
Re: StarWars & Matrix Artists Offers New Products for Artists
Welcome David :) That's quite the first post. While I am not a fan of the cut & dry corporate approach to these sort of things - your original post wreaks of it - I am interested. Most definitely. A website focused on tutorials for gaming, animation, and VFX can't possibly be a bad thing. Thanks for sharing and good luck… -

Re: Specialize or Generalize?
That really depends on the Studio you are working or like to work. In big studios specializing is key cause the pipelines look more and more like vfx. Everything is getting more complex and detailed in some Studios. But there are a lot other they dont follow that trend. Its up to you. Be warned life may have other plans… -
Re: How did everyone here get into the 3d world?
Always toyed with VFX and ArchViz, rendering out scenes from IKEA catalogs and stuff. Or things like this: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/305/9/4/castle_making_of_by_frell262-d31zeim.gif Which I did when I was 14. Eventually I wanted to be a part of something more interactive so I switched to games -
Re: 2014 Gamasutra Salary Survey
Absolutely, but I'm not so sure it'll work for games, the same way it didn't work out for VFX. The trouble is, developers are an easily replaceable commodity, especially artists. Contractors that unionise can be easily and quickly replaced by contractors that are not, and those outside of the union are always well placed… -
Re: Space ship modeling for animation
Just build it as it would be built in a film: model of the ship, and an interior set. Use camera editing to change locations. If there is a shot of the camera entering through the door you could build some of the interior just inside the door and use a cut to transition to the interior set. Only ever build what you need to… -
Re: Skylar & Plux - Environment/Technical Art
Not to turn this into some marking scheme , but we showed off a bit of the space station in movement recently. Since then there's been alot of changes to the character animations and I've been spending most of my time on that and VFX stuff. And some lighting polish. But hey, gotta show something!… -
Re: What do you do to pay the bills?
Lead Tech artist. If you got any technical talent, it's a good route into games. TAs are in demand, and there are many, many different TA roles: VFX, Substance, programming, shaders, UE-related, Unity-related, rigging... and many people are self taught anyway. Just needs some courage to do something with "tech" in the name -
