Re: What is wrong with her?
This model does not define you as an artist. It is part of your training, right? So don't worry about how it ends up, but use it as a tool to refine techniques, learn new methods, experiment. No reason at all for any insecurity. You are doing the hard work, and that is all that matters. I second @Brian "Panda" Choi 's… -
Re: Arrrr, the piracy poll!
While I can't afford all the software I want/need, I tend to not pirate much anymore since I respect how much effort and knowledge is needed to make any of the software I like. The only real time I'll pirate software now is if it is expensive and the trial isn't long enough for me to actually learn how to use the software… -
Re: Question regarding modular game assets
I think I have an answer to this. Engineers, please correct me if I am wrong: It depends on what you want to add the costs. For example, lets just say all the gun textures for a game are on ONE texture atlas. This means at each run time, you're loading in this HUGE texture sheet for the guns. Problem is, you're maybe… -
Re: The Sedentary Life Of A Dev: Staying healthy in the workplace?
I work from home so it's not necessarily applicable to studios but I do hourly pushups, low rep, started at 3. I've been slowly building up.

Re: Blizzard Student Art Contest: Blood Scarab
@Andy H: Good advice, I really appreciate it man! I think that's my biggest worry right now, the AO is overpowering the whole character, and that's probably what is pulling him from a WoW aesthetic. I adjusted the levels to turn down the blacks, but I think i need to go even further with it. I also created a gradient map… -
Re: KRISS Vector
question and comments are all welcome. Right now I'm working on fixing the sharp edges-- which is a little bit of work:) I will not make this mistake again. To control the edge smoothing in ZBrush: I started with a pre-sub models that I made in Maya to hold shape (hence the to hard edge on the EOtech sight. In ZBrush I… -
Re: GPUs. Nvidia's Pascal: GTX 1070 and 1080 and what this mean's for the future.
This is a thread about a new GPU which pretty much implies game usage. My point is again that that at the resolution people typically game these days increasing texture resolution isn't that noticeable. I don't mean no 4k textures, but increasing all 2k textures to 4k and all 4k textures to 8k etc... I see tons of people… -

The player character animals range… -
