Re: Layoffs at TimeGate.
You pretty much hit my thoughts perfectly Mark, specifically this line: "Don't turn your nose up at some place willing to hire you because you want to be starving artists who only works for the best of the best." If you go into art, whether it's VFX, games, simulation, commercial, etc, you can not be so naive to think that… -
[Paid] 2D cartoon artist/animator
Hi! I am looking for an artist that is familiar with working in this particular style. Hard to describe exactly, but like Dan Paladin's style. The primary task would be to create multi-layered background and stage art for a super smash bros style arena combat game. Animation skills in this style would be awesome as well.… -
Re: Tips For Designing Website/Portfolio?
+1 to what has been said here already, and I'll also say that I'd nix the video reel unless you have animation or VFX to show off. No one involved in hiring artists has the time or desire to sit through 2 minutes of slowly spinning props or whatever. We want to be able to easily and quickly see large static images of your… -
Re: What program was likely used to make the models shown in this video, and how did they do the hair?
Cinematics are pre-rendered so they essentially use an unhindered vfx/film pipeline with fully rendered hair strands with tools like xgen. For real-time hair you would still use xgen, but the hair gets baked to a texture atlas and is mapped to hair cards. You say you already created the model so what package did you use,… -
Re: Few questions about total tri count, shadows, and texture resolution relating to performance
Glad you find it useful. There are some older threads with a lot of tips and tricks that might help: https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2523222#Comment_2523222 https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2520973#Comment_2520973 I think there's more if you search. I'm in the optimization stage on a VR game right now so… -
Re: [UE4] Prince Of Persia: Warrior Within - Time Portal Scene Remastered
Cheers for the feedback guys! @FreneticPonies The Z-depth thing is an annoying one, I noticed it near the end and couldn't figure how to fix it for UE4. I get what you mean about the top bit too, first real go at a more 'VFX-ey' scene asset, noted for future projects though :)@Sunray You're right! Some kind of trimming… -
Re: [UE4] Isometric Souls-like Spellcasting-Diablo-esque Game [IMG/GIF HEAVY]
@Apocrs1980 Yeah, man, doing everything alone is rough haha. You bring up some good points, I think strong focus on vfx and lighting is good. In combat the game gets noisy and intense anyways, so the backgrounds being simple and readable is a good thing. How fun it looks in screenshots I dunno though, maybe I got to upload… -
Re: StarWars Dark Forces Inspired Game Art
Thanks, guys! So here's the last bunch of updates, it's time to move onto something else. Stormtrooper Rifle Hit VFX, the Standard blaster impact, and the Heavy Blaster: Updated Repeater Hit - decided to go to Yellow for this guy, as in Dark Forces 2. Blue looked too much like the Concussion Rifle. Updated Concussion rifle… -
Re: my rust shader, what do you think?
Is there any chance you can show a larger shader network? I'd love to see how you're combining multiple shaders together like this. Looks great! I agree also, it is definitely great to share multiple trades! Never hurts to work with VFX level shaders as well as game level shaders! =) Gives you more flexibility and… -
Re: Sketchbook: Sean Hummel
I assembled the scene itself in UE4, added lighting, post and VFX (as I'm still learning those all the effects are adjusted recreations of unreal's free demo file effects): The actual parking bay for the mechs, including access via the catwalk. A tunnel leading to the hangar Fueling station Here's a (too quick) first…
