Hey, So I will be working towards creating the throne of The King of Nothing! A kind of children of men deal: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206634/ As the last few humans of earth gathered around their little fires, an empty hall echoes with the sounds of the wind. This was once the throne of the infamous leader of 'the…

September–October Challenge Submission – Dragon Forge Environment This concludes my entry for the September–October challenge. :) I focused on creating a handcrafted environment and aimed to make the space my own while staying inspired by the provided concept. I chose a dragon theme, a personal favorite, and pushed myself…
Yeah what PolyHertz said. Maya is the big guy when it comes to character animation. What will be important to you is what you want to use the animations for and how big your budget is. C4D has a great rep for motion graphics and I taught it for years at a local college, but couldn't get used to it. Coming from 3DSMax, C4D…
Honestly after the 1990s, the line between 3D and 2D has forever been blurred. Whenever you see a project that says "yeah, we did that all by hand" don't be fooled. Lion King did it with the Wildebeest stampede scene, The Iron Giant did it with the titular character being 3D rendered with some carefully place toon shaders,…
So demo be out. I'll be getting it later today but what does everyone else think? The celebs people have made so far are amusing :D http://kotaku.com/5904936/from-god-of-war-to-the-king-of-pop-heres-dragons-dogmas-character-creator/gallery/1 So I tried it out (PS3) and I have to say the fighting is fun and very unforgiving…
We’re looking for a Technical Artist with Unreal Engine experience—someone who can bridge the gap between art and engineering to bring stylized, expressive characters to life in a new, highly creative game and cinematic format. If you’ve worked with MetaHuman, love stylization over photorealism, and know what makes a…
There are various problems with baking lighting using point lights. The most prominent is that specular highlights will kick you in the ass if you don't adjust your gloss and overall intensity properly before baking. The wider the specular highlight, the smoother the shading will be. This is essential if you're using any…
The fast load time is freaking awesome. It's not a 'selling' feature, but yea, after loading max multiple times a day on my work machine, blender is lightning fast. I hope they can maintain this as development continues. As for the knife tool, I'm going to have to give it a 'meh'. It's an ok tool, but the popup really has…
Going to be entirely honest here, I don't think going back to college will help you unless you decide to pursue another career. Your portfolio seems "solid" (meaning it doesn't jump out at me as a warning to stay away), but you've only got one environment and it's not exactly outstanding. Do another, do it better, post…
