I'm two days behind, but that doesn't really matter. I'm sure we've all seen a few good industry related April Fools Day pranks in the last few days, and I wanted to see what everyone else stumbled upon. For example: 1) John Lasseter updated his Facebook page stating "John Lasseter will be leaving Pixar to be the Creative…
Hey Guys, I am taking a break from environments for a bit and have started on a vehicle. This is based 99.9% on Mark Steven Raktraktor. Here is a zrender of its current state: I have been working on it for the past 3 or so weeks on and off, it's been really fun so far. I started in max and brought it into z brush to shape…
I think that considering they have had success with students finding work in local studios based in Sweden, its a good idea to stay with them and leverage that as much as possible. Its always possible to keep developing your artistic skill set and knowledge of other programs to apply to other studios outside Sweden There…
This is a brain dump. Sorry if it seems a bit random: The main thing to remember is you have to prove you're better than the local talent. You have to give the foreign studio a reason to hire you. They incur a cost to help get you a visa and you will have to pay attorney costs as well if you want things to go smoothly. To…
Lucky you! I just crafted something for @Olli. a few days ago :) global snapManager Place it in your startup script folder and then you can use it like this: ::snapManager.GetAngleSnap() -- is angle snap active?
It's not a hard concept to grasp? Is that right, chief? I was asking for specifics, which is why I used the word "exactly." The United States Post Office is the government. The city of New York Department of Sanitation is the government. The mayor of Honolulu is the government. Is that what I should be grasping? A vast…
@DavidBullock3D Thank you for the feedback. I definitely agree with what you said. I've been told a couple times now that it's a little hard to initially read that it is a deer head statue so maybe it does require a reposition! Yes I have been looking into tessellation recently and different ways to bring down the cost and…
@IceWolve Thanks for the video/screenshot. I think the railings are "just" square/hexagons and the smooth shading lets them appear round which is of course very nice and the textures black hole at the beginning/end of the rail increases the effect of making a round impression. This outwars game is really interesting. it…
Pretty good progress so far! Only a couple of things stick out to me: -The highlights should be more of a teal cast rather than white (That's just the color of the flames' lights on the statues, I think?) Be sure to put in a specular map that's brighter on the corners and edges, and less shiny on the surface faces -The…
hahaha, How embarrassing.... I assure you, it will have eight legs in the final product. So, this is the basic layout I am going for. I got a few different angles with and old character thrown in for scale. The giant spider will be a statue. Right now everything is very WIP so I may be changing things here and there and…
