Re: Vray or Mental ray, for photo realistic characters
Some of the best renders for photorealistic characters that I've seen have come from Vray. I haven't used MR in a while so I don't know how things have changed, but I remember hating their skin shader. With Vray I've seen people do some really interesting and complex layered material setups. One major thing to note is that… -
Re: UTMC - Lerakon
Keep in mind what Chris said. The mirrors-edge ultra clean look is not the look of the entire game. This quote from the forums is a good way of thinking about it. "I think, since making a game with 90's levels of polygons isn't going to fly in 2014, the visual clarity has to come from having a hierarchy of details. If… -
Re: Whoah, haven't seen this muscle deformations before (mocapped flexed muscles?)
EDIT: Updated first post with second video I haven't paid attention to EA Sports games recently but apparently a publicly announced feature of EA's Ignite Engine. Just saw a 2 yr old blurb mentioning it: "Thanks to the power of the Ignite engine, EA Sports UFC will feature an all-new full-body deformation system that… -
Re: Unreal Tournament 2007 first video
ok, the ONLY thing that bothers me is the fact that that whole scene is realtime but not actaully a scene from the game. I guess it wont be possible to destroy parts of the models or have that cineastic action going on in game Nevertheless i am still stunned. and yeah, i forgot to add the url to the hires pictures which… -
Re: Learning to draw
Good news...you'll never need to know how to draw a straight line. Bad news...to really learn how to draw well you HAVE to set your imagination aside some times and draw what you see. But you dont have to straight copy it. Get some "anatomy for the artist" type books and refer to them often whenever you are unclear about a… -
Re: Van Damme!!!! no wonder it's so frickin hot
sonic: a large volcanic eruption (like Mount Pinatubo in 1991) lowers the Earth's temperature by 9/10ths of a degree. so that's 7/10 of a degree on top of losing 9/10. from Wikipedia: [ QUOTE ] This very large stratospheric injection resulted in a reduction in the normal amount of sunlight reaching the earth's surface by… -
Re: "The heavy toll of making games in the San Francisco Bay Area"
Moved out here in 2014 to start my career in the game industry. Fortunately I've been more or less continuously employed in that entire time. Survived one studio closure at my first gig, and a round of layoffs at my current place. While I really love what I do, it often feels like its impossible to keep up with the cost of… -
Re: 1st ZBrush Sculpt
Febuary 2013 I quit my job as a legal clerk, I started using Photoshop and Maya October 2013 and zBrush May 2014 (with classes) - so yes, it my first zBrush sculpt - though I spent somewhere about 100h split between zBrush, Maya and a little bit of topogun on this ;) It was an overall learning experience - both zBrush… -
Re: Trying to paint semi-realistic/stylized (might be a bit NSFW)
@FredPez Yes I think the time period is Victorian England, but in the scenes in wonderland she wore different kinds of dresses that I think are from different places. I'm going to stick to the prom dress she wore to the dance and modify it. The features of her face are very interesting to paint, she has these childlike… -
Re: Three Headed Monster
The critique was mostly positive, he got more nit-picky then usual which is a good sign ^_^ He did not mention much about the coloring, but I will be sure to try to sharpen it up and get rid of the softness. And as for the shape loss, I completely agree. I was in Orthographic mode for most of the modeling, that killed a…
