Phillip Klevestav
You know him in the videogame art community as PhillipK, the one writing all those amazing tutorials as of late. I wanted to talk with him about who he is, why he's writing these tutorials (really, what's in it for him?) and where he's headed in the future. And if his desk setup (pictured above) is any indication, he's a… -
Re: Art Institute fires animation teacher who won't pimp their useless e-books
I wouldnt call it negativity, but rather a call to face reality. If anything, arnt you the one being negative? You clearly made a big deal out of nothing major, the instructor did the same and as a result probably embarrassed his students and fellow co workers, it also got him fired. Did it help anyone? Did he accomplish… -
Re: Substance_Designer_Graph_Critique_Request
@Ashervisalis Why would you need to look at the substance graph to see how good the material is? All that really matters here is the end result, which he's posted. Your material has some good foundations to work from but could use a lot of improvements. I like your patterns and how they're layered throughout, but there's… -
Re: A handful of random questions about texturing and types of maps
1) I looked for a while for a master list of common materials, and what spec should be used for them. I never found it. As far as I know, it's just something you need to eyeball, especially since different lighting setups make spec look completely different. If it helps at all, here's what I tend to do (on a scale of 0 =… -
Re: Dwarven Fighter
@Suburbbum: Thanks for the crit, man. Now that you've brung up that curly fry comment it's all I can see! lol. But I think I'm going to stand by the twists becuase I do (currently, not shown in the last update) have some of the traditional 3-strand braids in there as well. I think that will break up the pattern a bit, and… -
Re: Spudnik's Secret Shop
Taking a dump. WR set. Gonna have to redo some parts, way too clean, way too basic in texture. (totally stole Dry's sniper legs though) Bow #5(ish), all of which I took to baking but ended up not liking. Courier to go with the WR set. Pouch on the back is too small/not interesting. Only half baked ideas on how to make him… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge September 2013 (11)
Had a lot of fun texturing this, having a look at it now I want to go back and change the floor textures I did because it's looking very inconsistent at the moment. I also used Azzamat's trick to do my jar which works super well - am thinking of doing something similar with the lanterns to give them a glow, but have a… -
Re: Good portable drawing tablets?
Well, on the cover mine says that it's got 100 pages. A typical ARM CPU on something like this can have up to 32 KB per page, which means that it's got 3.2 megabytes of memory, which should be enough for anybody these days. (Unless you want to run emacs, in which case you'll probably want more.) If you draw on both sides… -
Re: 3ds Max: Maintaining spherical width when turbosmoothing?
Thanks, I turned off the graphite panel years ago -that was clearly a mistake. You say volume doesn't matter for the normal's hi-rez, is there any chance you could explain why? (unless somethings changed the hi-rez always had to fit inside the low-rez cage, but I assume you are specifically referring to a smaller hi-rez)?… -
Re: The Audacity of Game Education
Drav, actually, it is worth the paper it's written on. If anything that piece of paper has saved my ass for immigration, no matter what meaningless education I had to go through for it. I'm not going to pretend to know 'why' game degrees aren't as cut and dry as business or physics or whatever - I just know it's not. Maybe…
