Re: New 3D environment student seeking industry advice
1. Small and well executed is much, much better than larger but weak. I've seen people hired based on an environment that's one corner of a bedroom. 2. I assure you, not everything had been done. In an environment art portfolio showing a subject matter we haven't seen many times before isn't necessary, but it's certainly a… -
Re: Zbrush to Max head retopology
'You should never do that' is just high drama. He probably heard that off someone else who heard it off someone else, never questioned it, passed it on to you.........and the myth was born..... You can scale your objects at any stage in the process. Just reset the xform/collapse the transforms and you're good to go. It's… -
Re: Working on a rail gun prop. Critique and advice much appreciated
Progress Update After weeks and weeks of trying to get the hole situation to work I've finally been able to sculpt. I spent about an hour putting some dents and scratches just to show some the combat usage the gun rail's been through. I'm gonna go back to work on the damage, but this was the first pass. I used a custom… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
Hey @Ryan, Phew, I'm glad you told me that. I'm not doing something wrong afterall, you obviously do just need a tiny shadowmapped area to get high quality shadows. I guess a lot of games do a good job of making the blend between shadowmapped and lightmapped/fake shadowed areas seamless, so it's hard to tell how big an… -

Re: UE 4 - Portfolio Review - Environment Artist
Although your models within the trolley scene are really nice, I dont really care for the composition. There are far too many grays and blacks within your scene to the point where they start to wash out everything else around them. I know that you want your focal point to be the trolley, only because how the lighting is a… -
Re: Vertex paint -Mesh or Poly
With some leisure time to burn, I did find this (by @PolyTools3D himself) ...

Re: Help with building a new PC
Not looking too bad altogether. Just a couple of points, try and edit your post so people can see what you are linking to, it's a bit of a pain having to click on a couple of different links just to see it's the same graphics card:P So: I7 920 = good 295 GTX = good card, haven't ever used those makes, personally i stick… -
Re: MMPOG Addictions and treatments
I'd really say pull the plug. Login with his account and delete his characters. On the long run, MMOs are only addicting because of the items and power you posses, you don't want to give that away after all the work, but i doubt that most people would stick with the game if they had to start from scratch, while all their… -
Re: Focus on techinacl shit of game art for reel?
Keep in mind when I refer to technical skills I'm mostly refering to the limitations found in game art, as in texture size, poly limitations, rigging limitations, and not rocket science here. My problem is how am I supposed to make a decent reel for a company if I don't know what their game specifics are. Is making it look…
