photosculpt seems like a interesting tool, and the real time displacement modifier for blender too. When I heard chronic mention the kind of 3d capturer, I linked it to using for example a 3d model in a movie, where the 3d object turns as the camera moves , as if part of the actual enviroment. Is some kind of capture tool…
Yeah I jsut wanted to see how low I could go without it looking crap. More of an experiment really. Its kind of sunk in now that its the same as doing characters, the low poly should match as closely as possible to the silhouette of the high, so keeping in those bevels is a good thing anyway. Thats not a tv BTW, its a…
FYI - Free NVIDIA USD Sample File - Universal Scene Description (USD) is an easily extensible, open-source 3D scene description and file format developed by Pixar for content creation and interchange among different tools. As a result of its power and versatility, it’s being widely adopted, not only in the visual effects…
Most of work sculpted is for collectibles or boardgames, though sometimes was asked to create scifi concepts. in these works below were created for the CGi short film called Chamaleon, bellow just small review about the concept; - Crescian Battle Robots, agile and strong, their energy is increased when using the supporting…
Wasn't sonic all about saving his animal friends from being caught in robots and racing through fantasy world...why is he ins San Fran suddenly... "No budgetfor a fully animated movie" you say? They are going down the road of 80s B movie sequels that had to be placed in "current year" for budget reasons. Also, why didn't…
On the original question, the artist that made those robots seems to have smooth shading on the barrels of cannons and other obvious cylindrical forms, and faceted parts have a fixed directional lighting "baked" into them -- with different materials per part or just vertex colouring which is much cheaper when rendering.…
The problem is, when you start thinking "Oh I liked this scene in the anime, it was awesome!" it becomes much like going: "the first terminator movies were good because it had a robot smashing things" arnold smashing things is cool, but it isn't what makes the movies good :P, and it is sadly the things the eventual sequels…
Never really got back to this sadly. The needs for a steady paycheck outweighs the dreams of personal conquest. Ahh well, maybe I can revisit this project one day.... It was really starting to look like something too. Mockup- combat screen & UI The big faction leaders are temp (lifted from some robot image I found…
well i like this characters! Cyborg looks good in the silver. It's the only thing that makes his full face mask look good. His only real identity is his face and they go and cover it with gear. Might as well make him full robot. Firestorm main here! The black & gold shader makes him look like WWF's Goldust. batman with the…
... I'm not saying they need to be robots that stare at the camera and go from one technical point to another. I'm saying its a 2 hour podcast that could likely be 45-60minutes and still be full of fun chatter we can all laugh along with while being interesting to game artists. Anyway, I've gone on more than I intended to…
