Re: Your favourite artbooks
Not strictly "Art of.... X" books, but books about art which I've found the most useful and inspiring. To be honest I'd recommend not actually looking at "Art of XYZ Game" books, and actually go back to the roots of architecture and industrial design and comics etc Universal Principles of Design - I would wholeheartedly… -
Re: critique my business card?
Do your really need the icons? It's 2014 not 1994 everybody knows what an email address is (let alone a phone number). Your business card is your PROFESSIONAL CALLING CARD. Anything that you do that brings to mind as GIMMICKY will in the end look bad on to you, aka unprofessional. Especially if you are trying to market… -
Re: Polycount Study Group B
Yeah I'm already familiar with the script. I used it on the red tree. I didn't think it would be necessary for the yellow ones since each canopy is fairly flat but I'll give it a shot and see if it lights better. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Re: Portfolio Critique Please
I think your art will surely benefit from having better lighting setups. Also, you could use some photo blurred backgrounds also instead of pinkish-grey gradient.

Re: How to put a price on your work
This is essentially the only answer ever needed for this question. Nice. =P A lot of people think doing contract work is glamorous or whatever because you can make more money, or look at a day/week rate and think contract artists are rich.

Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
Hello, I'm trying to accomplish this glossy (varnished) wood material in 3ds Max 2014, and is I chose to incorporate the nails in the texture (I now regret this however, but I was a complete beginner when I made that decision).

Re: Maya user learning 3DS Max
