Very interesting thread - ranging from chemical brain imbalances to the subject of good work ethics! I have always been puzzled by ADD and ADHD. I am not saying that I don't believe they exist (I am pretty sure that they do, just like chronic depression and other strong brain imbalances causing behavioral shifts) but I…
Hey man, glad to see you made progress. I could give some feedback on the desert scene if you'd be interested. I'd say this : "Does anyone else end up not enjoying making scenes? I enjoy most projects at the start and get bored halfway through, then force myself to finish them half assed." is a bit noticeable on your…
THANKS¡¡ it just was the overlaping of the tentacles in the low UVs. I had sculpted just one of them and i applyed the array modifier after making UVs to got them all in one place, because of that some tentacles have a "nothing" hight map to bake (tentacles that i have no sculpted = empty space = black bake). Just if…
the environment settings and lights is simple..... default max single light and default ambient. the hand painting could be either or both what ever gets the result your looking for.... whenever I've done this sort of thing it always ends up needing touching up in photoshop and color adjustment. Another thought..... in…
http://www.mysterium.ch/riven/pictures/riven_05.jpg I wanted everyone's advice on this for a project on basically if anyone thinks its worth it. The reason I want to redo at least 1 island in unreal is that these games to me were what I kind of grew up playing. Even today I think the environments in those games are the…

(concept artists and mappers also wanted but not necessarily needed) If you want the full version then it's on facepunch under Valve games and modding. It's named "A quest to find the god of the…
Hello polycount, I'm an art newbie and I've just started learning Zbrush. It's the first 3d software I've worked with and since I'm unfamiliar with most techniques used for sculpting, could you give me a hand in completing this 3d model for a project? By completing, I mean you point me in the right direction, maybe to the…
I may read through the 9 pages of this thread some point soon, but I took a look at the first two just to get an idea of how other people feel about this situation. I feel FredH is a VERY VERY shifty character in the world of game art message boards. I have criticized him many times for a year or two now, and several…
The Ten Commandments of Polycountianity! - We are the divine of the 3D cosmos. - You shall have no other forums before us. - You weld as we say, you bake as we say. You will not think for yourself for you know nothing! - You must always make assets according to the current trend, any attempt to break the trend rules will…
[ QUOTE ] Oh yeah, if you're being treated like crap then i'd jump ship asap. It just sounds like a lot are just willing to constantly move around for what sounds like a better offer NOW, when a job usually starts to get interesting after sticking there for a few years and you can have a real impact on almost any aspect of…
