Re: The Guitar Thread
+1, in fact the whole band are pretty damn talented. Both the guitarists are very good, and some of their riffs are pretty technical. Nice bass too Progg, Music Mans are awesome. I forgot to mention strings in my post, I use Ernie's too on my electrics. Usually 10's... a bit of a strain on the fingers compared to 8s/9s but… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
I slacked off from work today and did some tests in Cryengine 2. From what I've picked up in this thread, you should be able to take a mesh with lots of 90 degree angles, put it in all one smooth group, and then when baked with a tool that has tangents synced with your engine, it should look fine. However none of the bakes… -
Re: Mari +Zbrush
Hi all I can vouch for Jack on the Foundry's support, I teach Mari at Escape studios in London and Jack has come in many times to talk to our students about Mari. He also implemented a environment shader module after I requested it and we are and educational establishment not a big VFX studio I have just finished teaching… -
Re: Female warrior - realtime character
Thanks Thanks. The truth been told I've shared a lot of my work during the years, mostly because when I was in my beginning as a 3d artist I had none or few places to search for inspiration....and it took me a long time to grow as an artist since a lot of what I've learned was learned by "click and see what it does" way. I… -
Re: Riot Games Art Test - Tiki Hut
Seems like he did. The major thing you kept was a cone tipped cylinder shape. Like snader said, the original has 9 doors, yours 3. The original has a balcony around it above the doors, yours has none... Not knocking yours, I love tiki and it will be cool to see what you end up with. But if they are looking for a model with… -
Re: Texel Density
I hope so. As someone who's been responsible for the quality of hundreds of sets of modular assets I put consistent and correct texel density pretty high on my list of priorities. The "it's just a guideline" argument is valid if you're talking about a <5% variation but beyond that you're not only risking a mismatch in… -
Re: Sucker Punch!
I also didn't like it and wish they just kept the action sequences and made it a straight out action movie. The last half hour or so was needlessly dark and I didn't like the ending at all, although I "get it". I don't understand why a brothel setting was chosen for Babydoll's way of coping the asylum. I think only done to… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | June 2014 | Techno Vikings
@DonEngland- I have to agree with Pyr that the albedo/diffuse is a little muddy. It seems like you put some random noise on it but I think it would benefit with a little extra love on the edges and so forth. Pose is coming along nicely! @APE- Work on that material definition. The face is looking good. @Ozz- Nice start!… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Bartosz Guder, environment artist
The presentation app will only do so much, Serp. It's not a magic "make awesome" method to use UDk or marmoset. I feel most of the props could benefit from a better specmap (seems very uniform, like there is barely any contrast in the specmaps). Same with your dirt/grunge in the diffuse: a bit uniform on many of the props.… -
Re: Yo! Check out my 'folio
Your resume is very confusing at first glance. I can tell you I spent 11 KY-Point in character desing. am I doint that know as my job? Heck no! None of that stuff is needed imo. You spent time rigging. Does that mean I should hire you as a rigger? You know shaders. Well done! Piont is, all of this should show in your work,…
