Re: Modeling Reel
Hey, here are some things I've picked up from your reel; 1) As an enviro artist, start showing stills on ArtStation, not on a reel. 2) The wood grain in all your texturing doesn't run with the mesh, or doesn't run the right way. 3) You're either not beveling or your bevels are way too small. 4) The amount of polygons that… -
Re: [Game] Blood, Sweat, Gold -- modular character system + environment
Ok, got the environment assets dialed in to a level so that, for lower quality settings, we won't have to use billboards so aggressively. I also changed the looks a bit. I think autumn will be a nice fit with our theme. Both pleasing to the eye but also a foggy, damp, and somewhat gloomy connotation. Just going to do two… -
Re: Too much of an artist - Not enough employee?
Most companies have their own deadline stages, in the same way as alpha, beta etc. Art if planned and done right follows the same pattern with these types of details also put into place, done right they stop you for noodling on something for too long. An environment goes through several stages: LD blockout, Enviro Art… -
Re: MINECRAFT
hmm...right idea tyler as a basis. but, I know the basic element of MC is a cube but you're thinking too square and uniform for my liking. I'd prefer to build something a little more organic in shape, if you get what I mean. Also. 120x120 is definitely not epic enough. Actually. Having a little think, we need to be a bit… -
Re: Unreal Study: Dormancy
I hit play thinking i would just be watching a really pretty enviro study but then the audio led up to the explosion and i was pleasantly surprised! The whole video up to that point and the fumefx effect itself was great but everything after feels as if it all happened a little fast and isn't quite as pro as the rest. The… -
Re: Art subject choices: fictional vs existing
But isn't "filling in the blanks" on a loose concept also digging up a ton of photo reference, but then just picking the strongest and most interesting parts ? That last part being where the studying of existing objects pays off. That's what I did when i was told to model something vague without even a concept. Granted,… -
Re: Autodesk buying XSI?
As much as I like Blender I often find some of its features somewhat lacking, and feel envious of more focused commercial applications. For instance, I've often found the sculpting tools in Blender too constricting. I really like that they added the features, and the sculpture tool itself is great. But the Multi-Res system… -

Re: Terrain density and vertex colouring
Yep, once again, it all depends... on the hardware you're making it for, the quality of your graphics programmers, the type of camera angles you'll see the terrain from, etc. I'm using vertex coloring on MMO terrain a ton right now. We store our terrain texture blending in a bitmap, not vert color. In our system the… -
Re: Cryengine 3 Global illumunation
No, it's %100 real-time. I saw it at SIGGRAPH, heard him talk about it, I've talked to him through email about a few issues with it too. The main advantage is that it is all real-time, no baking. Enlighten is really nice, but the pre-baking time is very slow, you can't move static geo around, you have to create custom…
