Thanks Marine, I added a bit more, I think it might be worth whilte to write a bit about the financial success for content creators after the TF2 contest. http://www.pcgamer.com/tales-from-the-steam-workshop-we-talk-to-modelers-making-six-figure-sums/…
This is why I am sometimes unhappy with valve, both this and the reverted green channel of the normal map are completely ignored in their guide doc, and it's years after the doc's release, not any update still. I have seen even expert workshop author fooled by the reverted green channel of normal map, let alone many more…
Start off with a procedural texture as a template. They are easy to make, they tile perfectly, they are a good guide to start painting over. Because they're procedural you can iterate quickly and test out how the pattern tiles without a lot of middle work. Both max and maya have procedural wood materials, you can also…
Thanks for the links; I've spent the past hour or so buried in the wiki, doing what I can to work through my befuddlement. Where would be the best place to post work for feedback; the P&P section, the Digital Sketchbook, or the Game Art Workshop? My first guess is P&P (it does have feedback in the title), but the emphasis…
I took my sweet time getting around to finishing this, haha. I'll lay out my new screens as I will in the final submission thread when it gets put up. Let me know if you see anything off or that could use a quick fix. Presentation Shot GIF showing custom wear pattern Cheesy WIP splash for the Workshop page (EDIT: I realize…
If you guys can, I recommend joining the relevant roundtable and workshop events. It's a lot more intimate and you can actually . . . talk to each other one-on-one like it's a dinner. It's definitely different from a presentation. Also, to anyone who's wondering what an acceptable GDC CA essay looks like, I can provide…
Udemy pretty much has become the 'goto' educational hub these days, aside from a couple of other established resource libraries i.e Digital Tutors, Gnomon Workshop. Anyway checkout this course further if a feasible option for you? which at a cursory glance seems too encapsulate most aspects developing interactive content…
Hi SpeCter, Of course you can use whatever programs you'd like. However, I use the majority of the programs I teach because I feel they are the best. If you change up the course so much on your end, I won't be able to assist you with software related questions as effectively. You might be best off looking for a workshop…
Nice to see you got it sorted out! I don't know the direction you wanna take this, as I said you can go a long way just moving stuff around, but don't be afraid to sculpt. Sometimes the process to defining the shape you want can be really messy, remember you can alway add a new 3D layer to try stuff out, no need to be…
I did game and 3D direction. Worked for almost a year at a Visualization company (but it kinda drained my creativity), and now I am working freelance. Just finished my first job, hopefully I can show something soon, but for now I can't. How was your experience with CMD? I always felt like I wanted to learn more then they…
