Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
You're posting a lot of opinion and conjecture that goes against popular consensus. Back it up with something other than your personal ideas and experiences. What you consider 'worthy of upgrading for' and what I do are obviously two different things. Links would help, like this one. Sorry if I don't just jump on this… -
Re: Need Critiques for improve my website and Work
Your website is not very viewer friendly. I have said it before and I will again here, you are not a web designer. Do not design or attempt to build a website. Use a site that is meant to display your work as easily as possible for you and a prospective Art Lead/HR. I recommend Artstation, an example is my portfolio in my… -
Re: Game Programming...
http://www.fanshawec.ca/EN/gdp1/default.asp Ya this one is really tempting course. It is short and will teach you lot more and major aspect of MMORPG (network programming) and game engine, AI, and physics (the programs that will teach you how to modify the game engine) will also teach you how to create them, definately… -
Re: How do you get an objective view?
In theory, this is something I've started to do a lot to help with forcing fresh eyes. In practice I don't rigidly follow this, but the idea is still helpful. Find a couple of things that meet the bar you're trying to hit, like 5-10 images or so. Working on something painterly? Grab some of the images from one of the WoW… -

Re: polygon mesh product copyright law?
In theory, if you model an exact likeness they could take you to court. In practice this would never happen. For best practices sake its best to use it as a reference, and add some little touches of your own, especially if its going in a scifi game anyway. As long as theres no logos, and you dont refer to it by its real… -
Re: How to start Basic Concepts
Its like Stephen Platt and few other traditional artists said, "If you want to start drawing, you can just go home and start drawing right now. There is no other way around it." With basic sets of traditional art skills and practice, comes confidence and improvements. I started drawing doodles and making crappy concepts on… -

He worked at one of the largest recording studios in portland. was going to be $400 for an 8 hour day of recording. not too shabby but still expensive for us. we sometimes… -
Re: Marauder II (mech for a Mechwarrior 4 Mod)
i disagree; while in general it's an important principle to consider, i think the more-is-more look is dead nuts on for what the MechWarrior mechs are all about. maybe some -slight- detail pruning is in order, but nothing that drastic. Vig, you make some very good points about considering the practical value of the…
