i'm not sure about that presentation style with overlapping renders, concepts and texture sheets. it feels very busy and all the elements are fighting each other to get viewer's attention. Especially considering that there's also all kinds of text on pics put in different places, in different sizes and sometimes different…
A while back I was going to try and organize some polycount games on the CGTalk server, but Kirt emphasized that any profanity in-game on their server would not be tolerated. Since trying to enforce such a thing would likely be an exercise in futility, I ended up telling him that I personally probably wouldn't bother…
i agree with rhinokey... yeah be bold but... you need some sort of recognition... that can be just yeah i see him posting on PC and he seams like a good artist/someone i want to work with but cold calling will get you nowhere. being good to work with is one of the most important things... you could have the most amazing…
Ok I've just spent time in the polycount texturing wiki, and I've developed a war plan. - Pick a logical color scheme (as outlined in the DOTA art bible pdf) - Bake a AO pass with my high poly, decimated .objs - Bake a Point Light pass on the high poly .objs - Hue Shift the Shadows and Highlights on these bakes away from…
I think it really is what you make of it. Like @Meloncov said, hiding those who you want to stay "friends" with but not necessarily see all of their baby pictures or pointless political statements that everyone is better off without... is a big way to shape the experience. I see pretty much only what I am interested in by…
Hi digitaldavinci, welcome to Polycount + Good luck in finding a job in the games industry. You definitely have a demonstrated ability to do the work. I'd say many employers would hire you straight up, no worries - but it can't hurt to do a few projects that show you understand the process of creating game-art. It's a pity…
I'll work on adding another material, I think it will solve the kinks quite a bit. The potion thing I have thought about adding and i think it will happen though ill make it like a mesh, I saw someone posted something like that on artstation and it looked really awesome! About adding a loop i'm not sure, I have been…
You need to create a login, we have also added facebook login as a quick solution.http://3dhit.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14971&st=0 Holly Crap, I have not looked on that thread in a while, Mario only graduated a couple of years ago! http://www.mariomaruska.co.uk/ [vv]51404442[/vv] Hell ya, I tell the students to use forums…
Thanks guys! :) Here are some more WIP from today. I'm stilling holding up but I think the forms is not really representing the concept right now. I might want to use lattice tool later on and get the more comic effect than the sovjet-realistic look or the 50s style. Hm, what does polycount think? Do I need to change…
Well, the traceroute is actually reaching polycount (198.58.99.58), so I assume you ran that through the proxy? Hop 11 is in Turkey and 13 is in Bulgaria, so your connection seems to be moving further north the farther our it gets :D The only thing I can think of is that Polycount is being blocked by the Iranian government…
