In the third image there, you have what is called nonmanifold geometry, which should be avoided. Edges should only ever share 2 polygons. If there is a circumstance that would require more, you should separate the extra bits into it's own element. The edges you have underneath the container are welded to vertices in the…
"I have to admit that I am confused by not just your critique but by other posts before yours about the issue of 'too many clicks to get to the art'. " if i have to click, wait for images to reload, scroll , then go back, click again its wasted time when you could have everything loaded. if you have way too many images,…
Glad you guys like :) Made a small update to the webplayer. I focused mostly on optimization for this update, for example making sure that (line of sight) cameras which are of screen aren't rendered, and some profiling. I've also added basics NPC's which move around the map randomly and fade in and out of the visible area.…
Stones, cylinders, rocketships... anything you want. There's still no solid reason to try and reenter 3d edit mode after manually positioning a tool on the 2d document. The document is made out of pixels/pixols and is different than polygon models which just float around in their own special plane of existence on top.…
Thanks Shimmer! I think you're right, I'll remove those. It kinda sucks, all my recent work was contract work and I won't be able to show them for another year. Maybe I'll have to do another model on that level just for the website I didn't even notice the thing with the animation, but you have way more experience than me…
It's a nice start for a student portfolio. Your presentation could use some work however. 1) Looking at each asset should be like one stop shopping. For example, I should be able to see the finished asset of the shield, the wireframe, and the texture flats all with the clock of one button. You're artificially expanding the…
Hi there. First off I wanted to say it's nice to see that up. It has an incredible sweet retro factor to it and actually makes me want to reinstall q2! As for errors on the pages here is what I have so far : Sydney 4th and 6th image dont show up Sauron 3rd image doesnt show up Voodoo 1st image Terminator 5th 7th Alita 4th…
UPDATE! Thanks again for the valuable feedback. I wanted to update the thread about an alarming discovery related to the instructor's artwork referred to the images above. I did not originally include a couple of the 2D art examples in this instructor's online portfolio, but one of the pieces, a painting of a frog,…
Wow, thanks for your quick and honest responses! :) @ cholden: I went ahead and read over your link and have started branding my render images and started setting up the new site for the portfolio to be the landing page .. which is just a big page of thumbnails that can be opened. @ jeffro: I took down the demo reel, it…
I can't really commend enough for someone's effort to capture the chaotic nature of bombay (mumbai or you 'll get your ass kicked :D ) and especially the slums. your rickshaw and fiat taxi's are not very faithful to the real thing. the taxis are a bit more "fatty" and curvy…
