Hi everyone! I have been looking to do some skybox art myself and I have some questions about the workflow, specifically about how it is all set up in 3d. Say, I would like to do a skydome with some layered clouds. I prepare my cloud alphas in Photoshop, then strap them onto mesh cards in my 3d package and arrange into…
Ok, so after GDC I decided it was time to get my shit together and get a page up so I could, you know, get a job, and not have to bow my head in shame every time I met someone. I figured August was a good deadline. My desktop now has these little colonies of files growing in various places. None of which look like a web…
So I just got a Nikon D80 for taking pictures and I was wondering if anyone knew of some tutorials or themselves knew how to take pictures of skies to create skydome or skybox textures. The only two methods I know of now are: get a 180deg fisheye lens, put camera on the tripod facing up and take a photo. The only problem…
It's all good man. I'm not a fan of Ford, well I'm and I'm not at the same time? Not sure, but their quality hasn't been the best, I hear that their new stuff can compete with some of the EU and JPN stuff, but who knows? But you're right, it does loook sexy as fuck.

Heh cheers Grimm. I just read their faq a second ago. In a massive turn of opinion, I'm ashamed of my enthusiastic and hasty first comment. This one looks set to head straight for the vapourware section. Looks like I will be sticking with AD then! Not that I dislike the big 2, I just wish they weren't so expensive for home…
not sure if this is easy or I'm going to need some kind of script- basically I have 2 maya files, each with a group/parent structure set up with identical groups and naming, and each group has various objects underneath them. I want to merge the files, so if both files have a group 'bolts' and underneath that lots of…
Would love to see a more interesting shape on the big tree. The roots are nice, but floating. The main trunk is very straight, could be nice to make it a spiral or some other interesting shape, that complements the half-circle stage. For example, an old Juniper in Moab by Douglas Miller:
[ QUOTE ] Taxi Driver is one of my favorite movies, so I cringe a bit when you draw a comparison between it and Gears of War. [/ QUOTE ] Haha... sorry, my comparison was poorly drawn, that's not what I meant. The analogy was intended to liken Scorsese' personal growth as a director between his early films and Taxi Driver,…
Slow week. Trying to come up with some ideas for drawing some environments that will test how much I've learnt from my perspective studies. Nothing much to show for that now, but till then, here are a few drawings! More head studies. Second one is from imagination with a focus on constructing the head using circles and…
