I can think of some cons: - What do you tell your friends and family when they ask you what do you do, or want to see your work? - What happens when you're not in the mood? (You might think you'll be able to consistently put out work, but I suspect this theme gets old quick.) - What do you do if your approach to sexuality…
Ok, I just made massive changes to the site. Thanks for the post, greevar, because I didn't know I was doing it wrong. I've redesigned the site completely to use CSS instead of tons of tables. The issues with it scaling badly on different resolutions has also been fixed as a result of this. I also modeled out something to…
Exactly. It's painfully ironic that he rails on EA for portraying gamers as being immature and "the worst stereotype of adolescent boys," while speaking with a voice that's been digitally altered to sound like a prepubescent twelve-year-old. I've seen a couple of these Extra Credits videos before, and while the guy is…
Hmm. Now I've seen pictures of the lower receiver as a separate part (I should be doing that from the start, but never knew what it was called) It wouldnt be too hard to redo that chunk. Also, once I get the gun fairly accurate to a point where its looking good should I add back the iron sites (but keep the eotech, usually…
Haha! Man this is *exactly* what happened at My old school too. He was the only tutor with shipped AAA titles to his name, he came in and basically said.. guys fuck the cirriculum, this stuff is crap and its NOT what you need to know.... my brain would hurt in a good way after every day of his tutilage. About 3 months into…
If it's on embargo until day before release then that sends alarm bells ringing for me. Screams of damage control so they can get as many orders shipped as possible. How many pre orderers will cancel their order of the order in order to avoid the orders okayish reviews......order :) I dunno, I think artists have raised…
Hi! I've been around Polycount for a while now and i should introduce myself too. My name is also Martin, and im 33 years old and i lived in sweden. When i was 21, I got accepted to a digital gaming school where i studied game art for 3 years. I was a total noob in 2D and 3D and hoped to learn alot and get as good as i…
Here are the updates. I shifted the lighting color around slightly and added a blueish fill light for the areas where the wall lamps die out. I also modified the rough stone, the obelisk, and the trim stone blocks. They have a different specularity than before. There is probably still too much ambient light getting up onto…
thanks for comments. King Mango: You are right about the thin white looking scratches about hard edges. It old handpainting with simple brush. This is the method that i only know for doing this. I tried to have very bright metal on top of everything and then paint, but it was just too blury. Samfisher84: hey, this is much…
Thanks for commenting guys! This character falls more into the stylized/humorous category. She is inspired by an old Bulgarian folklore belief. I don't think it's appropriate to explain it in detail because it will become rather long. The most important characteristics of her is that she is good in nature, but very moody,…
