Re: Website/Portfolio Review
I'm not a big guy on criticism either man, but here is my first few thoughts when I looked at your portfolio: 1. More complete environments as opposed to just props. You should make environments, even if they are small, to put these props in. For example the mech, I could see that asset sitting in a nice environment built… -

Wow. Dem shots. The photographic style and framing is top-notch. Love the depth and the lens effects, just the right amount. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is lighting. The contrast is fairly aggressive, so while it's very striking, you don't get a good look at a lot of your nice props in the shadows. All of the… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2018 (55)
I'm back after a long silence. Looks like I won't be able to finish the prop before August ends, but this is the current state of the Totem. The area with some plant-life growth looks messy, but I'm planning on adding some grass cards that blend with it during the texture painting process. @alytlebird your environment is… -
Re: Enviro Art question: Does level size affect employment??
What's your ultimate goal and how much time do you have for that? The PS1 environment was a nice idea and I agree you can learn a thing or two about modeling that way, but it's probably not worth sinking some more weeks into it. Now I'm not saying it won't happen, but it's not really something that's sought after today and… -
Re: art test clarification
Not entirely sure what they mean by "2 1024x1024 texture sets" - that implies that if you're making 3 props, you can spread them across 2 1024x1024s. I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean you can use a 2048x1024 for a single prop. Also if they don't mention lightmaps at all then I wouldn't assume they are taking that into… -
Re: Advice for aspiring character artist?
Thanks guys! SecretPro I totally agree. The program I am in is only 2 and a half years long, and there has been little to zero focus on portfolio prep until this point. Long story short, the program is severely lacking in anything useful (for profit degree factory) for the industry. So I have been teaching myself mostly… -
Re: Good learning material for Character Art
If you can, google all the reference images of the animal you want to model that are from different angles and save the images. In photoshop, pick out the photos that have a front, side and back view for example and try to line them up. This may require making individual edits till you get the right proportions (including… -
Re: Xbox One
It's nonsense though. Developers should simply come to terms with the fact that at some point they will not fill out an entire disk or all of the RAM. And they don't HAVE to, either. It all comes down to managing the scope of the project. Not every title can or should be a $60 blockbuster. One solution would be to have… -
Re: CG Room Render
Its wierd, the dark lighting, actually makes the first picture seem real. My guess is because its so dark, you dont notice the lack of AO, the bland texture work on the diffuse and normal map, along with the continual usage of tileing textures. Work on giving your props character. The chair your sitting in. Is it steril?… -
