Re: Inconsistency between recommended triangle limit and default art triangle count?
You indeed need to start slashing triangles :) The arms of the Earth model went through a weird edit between the original release of the playable hero and the workshoppable version, which might explain the odd numbers. On the plus side, here is something that might be of some help :… -
Re: [L4D2] [WIP] Petranaki Arena: Geonosis (Star Wars)
So, I’ve been seriously thinking about trying to pivot back into games for about a year now. I've been working as a software engineer for the past 5 years. But I think the next phase of my life I want to be back in games. Some of the things I think I want are: * Level design. * Shipped titles. * Star Wars IP. * First… -
Re: How do you balance work vs personal art vs family vs friends?
The only active part I take in balancing is just to make sure I do the 40 hours a week at work and only do extra if it's absolutely critical. Otherwise, I find that I spend my time constructively without thinking about it. As slipsius said, if you want to do something, you make time for it. If I have a project, I will… -

Re: looking for second education as game artist in Canada / USA: Hints?
If you feel that you slack at home ( i agree, because i do the same) and you need to learn more and have the spare cash lying around then theres no better way to spend it. But i agree with Xoliul, your work is awesome, i really dig the dreamy feeling and i hope to achieve the same "Dreamy" archetype one day myself with my… -
Re: Ray's WIPs - First ever Zbrush model.
Hmm, not bad. It does suffer from that new-to-Zbrush look though. Pretty lumpy and your forms feel like they emerge straight off the surface rather than traveling from a point of origin to a point of insertion. I haven't checked out the Scott Spencer tut, but one thing I would recommend doing early is building form up with… -
Re: Sketchbook: sirkibble2
I am self-taught. A lot of Eat 3D and Gnomon Workshop DVD's and help at Game-Artist.net has gotten me this far. I've been doing this for about 3 months. I actually found a tutorial on doing the human body and followed that but I do feel like I could do one myself now because of it. I'm not so scared of it anymore. :) But… -
Re: GLSL viewport shader for Blender
Good news, it's totally possible! The shader actually requires the masks be separate, hence the extra input materials at the front end. All the mask slots are there, so if you have the individual textures it's actually a bit easier to set everything up properly. First of all you can delete everything in the Source 1 mask… -
Re: I'm either going to cry, break something (possibly part of my own body), or go insane
Thanks for the replies. Sniper, I don't so much have ADHD, the title was somewhat of an exaggeration, but it is depressing. Fortunately I generally live a happy life, it's just this aspect that's getting me down. But I think to be honest you've hit the nail on the head in stating I'm taking on big projects that are never… -
Re: Guidance on printing 3D miniatures and Freelance rate!
It seems like your client didn't bother to read up on if what he wants done is even possible. If it's a miniature, then it's a little larger than an inch and will not be possible to make with a 3D color printer without losing an incredibly large amount of detail. Again, the best color printer I know of has a minimum wall…
