Re: n88tr's art dump thread
I am taking my final major class and I am starting my indep study project this summer to get a bit of a jump on it. HOPEFULLY I will get the project 80% done [that is my goal, realistic or not] before I meet with my prof for the first class. The reason I want to get most of it done is because my prof isn't qualified at all… -

Re: First portfolio - got some questions before I start
Most character artists that can do props just put it on the resume and leave it out of the portfolio. Or you could put all the props in one "collection of props" image. The focus should be 95% Character art, you don't want to seem unfocused or indecisive. -
Re: "Uncanny" effect more resolution and details we put in a frame .
I feel the synthetic feel in games and 3D in general has two main causes: - Lack of technical capacity of engine (or performance and time constraints when authoring) Engines are very good at displaying an staggering amount of tris now, have better lighting solutions, high resolution textures and more. Yet as pointed out… -
Re: Older work and its impact on the hiring process.
I think in general the advice about old work hinges on evolving "taste" and overall eye for quality. As one progresses and learns more overtime they realize that their old art is not up to par any more in their eyes (sure at the time it appeared as the best art piece ever, but now several years later they realize that… -

Re: [WIP] Old Arched house Environment
Small update here :) After some feedback, I have pushed the damage more with some decals and got rid of the grey vertex paint layer. After looking at more references of these kinds of buildings, I noticed more major damages where you can see the concrete mix underneath to be towards the base and revealing more of what's… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] Getting your TF2 hat into Source as a Prop_Physics
Just delete the extra bone. You only have to link the bone to the object through the skin modifier if it's a single bone. The physics mesh should use the same bone as the in game one. If the bones are what's causing trouble, you can just not use any bones and remove the line $keyvalues { prop_data { "base" "cloth.Small" }… -
Looking for a way to crop a texture to the visible part with a node
Hi Guys, I haven't found anything on this yet in the forums, so I was thinking I might post it. I'm currently working on my final project for my Bachelor and I have run into a problem... on the UE Aks Forum thingy nobody answers, so I thought I might ask here since you guys are a lot more active. Now to the Problem: I have… -
Re: Portfolio critiques wanted
I would suggest picking a prop and focus entirely on recreating that prop to the best of you ability. Make it a prop with plenty of reference. You need to train your eye to see details that your not used to looking at. I did this when I first started out and it help me tremendously.
