Re: Monsters and Creature Designs
Genocide: Thank you man! Peace Polycounters, I have been working on trying to flush out the color direction and feel of this guy via Polypaint in Zbrush. This is early WIP with Base colors applied shot straight from Zbrush. Still a lot more color work I would like to do before taking him to mudbox to start playing with… -
Re: preview using multi/sub-object materials MAX 7
No prob. Everyone was just getting ahead of the game a bit. I swear, sometime I'll put up a collage tutorial of all the little stuff that gets missed by lots of artists. Show Map in Viewport, Autogrid, Ignore Backfacing, Show End Result, Resource Collector, Edit Poly Remove, Renderable Splines, etc., etc. It's the silly… -
Re: What to do? DS enviornments
You should ask yourself how big these objects will be on the screen? How close will you get? etc. And then put it in screen shots the size of the DS screen to see how shes holding up. Buildings usually all share similar textures; ie. bricks, siding, etc. And then their colors are tweaked by vertex colors. Sharing palettes… -
Re: Analytical Thinking
ah yes, I had to learn stuff like that in school. Good text, but I would rather have the question awnsered to myself why I actually want to get better and what getting "better" is all about, if it is just speed etc. etc. not so that I can just do commercial art better or make better stuff for games. speaking about logic,… -
Re: How do you feel about todays Terror Threat
It's funny how this throws a monkey wrench into the situation for people like me, who routinely and shamelessly bash the Bush administration, the War on Terror, Homeland Security's draconian measures, etc etc. Because obviously, this time, the security measures did their job. Like Daz I am going to be flying in and out of… -
Re: Cop Car-now rusted!
you could easily tweak up that UV map to give more space for your chrome bits to be painted individually ... apart from squashing some bits closer (especially in the lower half) you could think about things like giving less to the license plate which you'll still be able to read even if it's half that size, building your… -
Re: BeardMan's Casual Work and Studies
Hello yet again! Here's my current progress on the Laboratory. The biggest change that I've made is the lighting, and I have finally done something about that open test area where the Tesla Coil will be. Here are the renders: For the next chunk of models I'll make light emitters, like lamps, spotlights, etc. And with that,… -
Re: [Portfolio] Brent Waller, Environment Artist
Cool Stuff man. As others have mentioned, BREAKDOWNS where ever possible. I think from now on since all your work will be personal, you should grab the chance to seperate your assets and workflows and present them. Highpolies, bakes, textures etc etc. As a possibility you may not fall into another Lead Position, its good… -
Re: Seven-Way Scuffle
I dig the following: - Post-apocalyptic/post-nuclear war fantasy; burly mutated people as orcs, purebred humans with body mods as elves, etc. - Kung Fu masters - Dieselpunk fantasy - Religious people (monks, medicine men, etc.) - Post apocalyptic animal-human hybrids - Also, atompunk sounds cool as well. So yeah, if you… -
Re: Crysis Sandbox Editor - MASTER THREAD
Popeye9, thanks for that, I will give it a go on tuesday. For me the Sandbox 2 editor is THE most crashprone program I've ever had the misfortune to use so hopefully that will help... Just clicking in the left most menu will crash it, opening the ToD view will crash it etc etc. Hell, even having the editor in focus when…
