Wow... if ever there was the exact opposite of a polar bear in a snow storm, those first few shots are it, ha. Thanks for doing some new shots they help quite a bit. Crits: It might help if you didn't use pure black for the diffuse, but maybe a slightly lighter shade or add some slight color variation to it, like a deep…
Quixel seems perfect because it's already inside photoshop, and from what I hear is much more user friendly and dummyproof. Quite the opposite. The Quixel suite has some nice features and comes with a solid material library, but the fact that it is running from within Photoshop is actually its weakest point since…
Hmmm... yeah your textures look almost the same as the changes I made so any chance I can see it in motion? Another idea might be to also adjust the alpha transparency so that its not as solidly consistent in all places. Sort of how Jocose was suggesting bands of value change with the mist... I use the same effect on light…
Hey cheers for the pics! I'd forgotten about implementing more moth motifs in that way. Only note is that antennae like the ones on the Kenko Cross Mothman (yeah I went and looked it up) example are either going to increase poly count or deman usage of opacity maps. Not that thats a real problem (though apparently the…
@whats_True: I realized that my school sucked (too late sadly). full time work and full time schooling leaves little time for portfolio work. but now that im out i have time to spend on creating folio assets that are up to par. Bear in mind the photoshop and flash stuff is freelance graphic design which i do to supplement…
tubboy: [edit] looked it up. ah.. classic demonstration of the fact that the second shortest route between two points is a well-aimed trajectory. [/edit] Since you're into that sort of thing, check this out for Cutting Edge. Hi Scott .. I was referring to the quality of headology and character interaction. On reflection of…
I hear ya I've wanted live symmetry or live offset, in PhotoShop for a very long time. Like what you can do in Alchemy but with all the photoshop tools. I've seen other very simple apps do it for years and with Adobe harnessing the power of the GPU I don't think they can use "its too hardware intensive" as a defense. But…

Full project on Arstation - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eOOq3 She gave me this model and I created the all grooming and lookdev work for it =) Maria gave me Substance Painter file, so I exported the all…
Its time to ask myself some difficult questions and wondering if other people are in the same situation or has been? But I am thinking of abandon the career path on which I have been striving for the past 8 years now. 8 years ago I started studying 3D artist for games and since then I have had a lot of various smaller…
