There was a time back when I played music a lot, and I mean A LOT. Was in a band (who the shit wasn't?!?!) and we had a studio that turned into a nightmare wreck of cables and crap all over the place. To top it off, we were all uber geeks that collected computer parts that would get laid out all over the place. Just an…
I haven't done a lot of studio hopping but I'll toss my 2 bits as I've been in that boat before when I was looking around. It really depends on the studio and how much time and effort they are willing to put into someone to get them up to speed. A mediocre artist might get passed over if they don't know the core software…
Hey chaps, sorry to bump such an old thread but I'm just getting into putting together an Oren-Nayar shader for in-game use. Valias mentioned above that his incarnation would require simplification for real-time use if I'm not mistaken? My shader is also going to have vertex-painted water, a wet/raining variation and…
Great feedback guys. This is the kind of stuff I was looking for. Let me try to respond to everyone here. @Megalos: Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. @Segreto: Good stuff. The pinching near the magazine was a bit of an overlap in geometry. I've fixed that. overlap near the stock, fixed. Some of the pinching you…
I'm willing to answer Cascade questions in here if you guys can field specific questions. I can't promise immediate feedback, and I don't really have the time to write out full tutorials... but I'll do what I can. And just to give you a little background... I've been doing fx now for 10 years, across 4 MMO's and 3…
Surely the fact that you had to even say you don't want a 'self-taught vs uni' debate indicates the 'self taught' route is a very real contender for a uni course. Why exactly do you want to go to university to study game art? Just take a look at 99% of studio websites and you'll see that most specifically state their…
Good start. Are you going to add any type of faceplate? At the moment it feels a little back heavy so maybe a faceplate would even it out or maybe just even a chin strap.
Got the front faceplate knocked out, this is takin longer than I wanted (trying to do it over lunch breaks). Guess slow and steady gonna win this race. Up next, faceplate deco.
They are, but they had nothing to show yet ( it's the last portion of the video) @blond: Man you keep doing the same thing every on polycount every time i read something from you i facepalm myself on how ignorant you are about few things but still make statement about those things. "the end of mudbox" They are just…
Here's a little vid just explaining what i've got so far... thinking it's easier to just show and tell rather than screencap and text-explain. http://youtu.be/szDtMOWe5ss Monster: That looks like it might help with some of the things i'm looking at for other projects but i'm not sure if it's what i'd need for this. thank…
