If you start doing CG you can take photos of bricks for 3d scans in a busy street and if someone ask "what the hell are you doing ?", you can simply say "i'm taking photos for 3D reconstruction and digital preservation of our cultural heritage" and get away with it, while in reality you are just taking photos to make…
they're near a window. Concept looks odd. maybe face them down and make them viewing screens or some kind of digital binocular screens with a view of whats outside. Though it looks really industrial, so maybe just a control panel. The composition may be thrown by a illuminated screen. Im pretty into this challenge, just…
Thanks guys! Ged and Abrvpt- I adjusted the translucency map so the nose glow should not be a problem any more. Im finding time here and there to slowly chip away at the skinning, but I came across the Digital Emily work from the WikiHuman project last week and after loading the files into toolbag I decided to rework the…
Very nice ! I remember seeing your older video, and it looked fantastic already. I tend to find the current and widespread approach to digital lineart to be quite frustrating (involving so many undos for line correction, and constant zooming in/zooming out to fight the lack of precision of current input devices). Your…
I want Achievements/Trophies gone. If the game needs that crap to keep people playing then its probably not the best game. Multiplayer. I'm in Australia and get bad lag whenever I've tried to play multiplayer games, so that stuff can go. High game prices here in Australia. We get robbed here, hard. Even if its a digital…
the drawings of circe, anise, and the second picture of the old bird hag are traditional pencil work, yes, and in the case of circe and anise they are the first drawings I've done of them (that picture of vanna is the first I did of her, and the digital sketch of the bird hag was the first in her case) thanks for the…
The problem with instructional books is a) they tend to skip steps which isn't ideal for a complete beginner, and b) they get outdated rather quickly. Get yourself a subscription to Digital Tutors... a couple of their Maya courses (namely Intro to Maya, and Intro to Modeling in Maya) and you'll be all set and well equipped…
Last year i stumbled across some interview with the artist who works at weta digital. He said he used to work as a crain rigger on the construction field, he got hired as a 3d character artist,just switched from that position to this one. I think he was mentioning something about loosing his brother who passed away,…
Awesome awesome awesome! I especially like the attention to non-video tutorials. Digital Tutors helped me SO much in learning Zbrush in the first place, but now that I know my way around, learning things through (often drawn-out) videos can be frustrating. I'm excited. Any plans to have a wiki or similar knowledge…
Probably the suggestion to learn 2D (traditional 2D art, not he digital 2D) before going to 3D is just to develop your artistic view without struggling much with the technical stuff of the 3D production. Learn to self critique your work to turn form a good work to great work is more important for me. You doesn't have to…
