Re: Sketchbook: Ferg
Thanks guys Kary: Right now, mostly just random practice and the occasional nude study. I'm thinking of enrolling in a local weekly figure drawing session to try and get some real practice in... and I really need to dive into an anatomy book. I have Anatomy for the Artist but so far have only actually drawing a few things… -
Re: Sketchbook: Makkon
Wow, guys; thanks a ton! I really appreciate it :D Bal: Thank you, man! I've really been pushing that a lot lately and I'm glad it's paying off felipefrango: Haha, that's polycount. I stick around because there's artists that drive me to the depths of humility on a daily basis. It's why I love it here so much DarkStar:… -
Re: Sketchbook : Alec3d
hey alec I can see your just getting started with game art and concept art and noticed your post about the wacom bamboo fun in muzzs thread. It isnt very easy getting used to a graphics tablet if you have never had one before. Some recommendations I have for beginners on a graphics tablet 1. drawing on it wont feel like… -
Re: Crash Course in Environmental Art?
Hmmm, no real crash course for this kind of stuff. You gotta just spend years practicing. It's good that you have a firm start in UT3 though, a lot of artists lack that. Just keep practicing, do tutorials, and do your own stuff too. It's important to do both. Also, enter contests like the upcoming unearthly challenge. Just… -
Re: UT Characters need harsh C&C!
Love the two concepts and good job on getting them into unreal. It looks like you have a pretty good knowledge of the modeling process and the technical side of character creation which is wonderful, that is half the battle. I would say that the best thing you could do for your modeling skills would be to brush up on your… -
Re: Teenage Demon
Took my sweet time to do a small paintover to help you a bit, (and I need to practice teaching people) win-win!! 1. You want to paint as much ambient shading into the texture as you can, and in the "standard" case you'll have shading under the head, so that the head doesn't look like it has no neck. 2. Blocking out more… -
Re: horizon mapping
It's basically a self-shadowing bump map. From what I remember reading they eat up entirely too much texture memory to be practical for games and are costly computed. I'd be surprised if any game came out with it successfully implemented - now or in the next year or so. I Googled it to find a technical explaination. Here's… -
Re: Augmented reality in gaming
A practical, cool use of this is using gps-enabled smartphones with a camera as a gun, and tracking down other players in a real environment to shoot them. I believe there was an Android, Google's Linux(or unix/gnu/whatever, I forget)-based mobile Operating System. In practice, it looked really fun! Imagine trying to hide… -
Re: GPU frame/ms budget discussion from post-mortems
What do you hope to learn from it? I ask because this is much like asking for polycounts or texture sizes in the sense that it tells you very little of practical use without a whole shit load of context to go with it. The problems with just having a number like 2ms are multiple 1 : GPUs work in a massively parallel fashion… -
Re: Retro Tv (Topology Help please )
I modeled it as one mesh because when I built it originally, I was just using it as a practice build and timing how fast I could build it because I was trying to do it in under an hour. Also I am a little weird where I get obsessive about the math of things.....so I like figure how many lines things will be for each edge…
