Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
hello op, This might be quite lengthy so bare with me. I am a student at the art institute of Sac one of the smallest Ai's in their massive chain with this i can only give my experience about that particular AI. I personally went into the school already understanding the industry thanks to some research of my own but i was… -
Re: 9/11 - 5 years later, what were you doing?
I was on my way to work at my old job which was a 30 minute long commute every morning. I would normally listen to my car stereo but every now and then I would listen to Howard Stern, while Howard and the crew were joking around as usual one of his guys reported that a plane flew into one of the twin towers. The crew… -
Re: WW2 German Infantry update
OK: Pocket tweaks: Sweet, no problem there. Supplemental straps for the Y straps: OK I fess up. I saw them late in the day in the ref, and decided I couldnt be bothered. Lame of me! Youve noticed it, so Im putting em in. I see theres a lot of extra detail in their construction that I missed too. MP40 ammo pouches. OK,… -
Re: Help on game development.
DaFuture, what they're saying is the texture size to polycount ratio can vary so much that it's almost a rhetorical question. I mean, one can summarize to say a static object such as a mailbox that is below 500 polygons should hopefully fall in the 128x128 or 256x256 category and still shine, but that's in the hands of the… -
Re: What kind of art is this?
Just gonna jump in to point out that while diablo 3's textures are very stylized, many (I might even say most) are NOT handpainted. The trees (a notable element of D3's 2.5D style) were actually modeled, then baked onto planes. Many, if not all of the characters were modeled with a high poly and baked. By comparison,… -
Re: Do any good artists use Blender?
Wouldn't say i'm good but it's the only tool i've used in the past decade. The only thing to fear about Blender is like every other suite - the possible regressions that could affect workflow and pipelines. like 2.67's busting of texture painting that kept me on 2.66a for the longest time, and 2.5's launch of the new UI… -
Re: PC-CSGO | MP9 Variables
Changes made to pattern, added a few extra details but trying to keep it simple enough for a low tier skin. Now to test some new variables! Also spent some time messing with phong - I dont want it to be overly shiny, just enough to give it that metallic feel. Finally for this update some alternative colors! The palettes… -
Re: New Job @ Illfonic. Heading out to Denver!!
We actually hit 80's last weekend out here in Denver. Though, we dropped down a bit this week, but none the less. Denver's snow isn't like the midwest or the east coast. It'll dump snow but it will be gone and back into the 50's within a few days unless we get a wicked cold snap coming in from the North. It'll vary though… -
Re: BirdBoy
dustinbrown LRoy Thanks guys. Yes the body still has lines where volumes should be. For the first time in a long time I might have to retopo the hipoly. Roughed in the wings. I like the size of the bird so far. So, there was a comment that the torso was too long, and it was. A quick overlay with an image made in MakeHuman… -
Re: Good music to work to?
I usually only listen to rock...either 90's or 60s/70s. Currently listening to the entire Led Zeppelin collection...I used to listen to a big playlist on random, but I found myself just skipping a bunch of songs because they were distracting...I find listening to just one band at a time makes it easier for it to fade into…
