Environment art is probably somewhat more in demand but doesn't mean it's easier. Character art is one of the most difficult roles to get into, highly competitive and requires a wide array of knowledge, especially anatomy. Based on your current portfolio, I don't think character artist is a viable path. But at the end of…
Wow, that face is freaking awesome. Love it! One thing that grabs my attention right away is what seems like a texel resolution mismatch, between the perfectly sharp face and the somewhat blurry hoodie and chest. Maybe an aniso mip filter might help with the top of the hoodie? The chest almost seems like a different style…
Can you try uprezing the textures? The compression is a little distracting, especially this close. Since you're trying to show off materials, I'd lean more towards visuals than performance in this case. Try setting each texture to UI in LODGroup, that ensures UDK uses the max resolution(which I think is 4096?). Using…
having used toolbag over the last couple of weeks (and having taken quite a liking to it :) ) i thought i might add some feature suggestions with the hopes these might make it into a future release: - ability to manage multiple meshes in a scene file (merge/replace/delete). the current set up requires a full export of a…
Quick update. Finished all of the block outs and i got the basic floor layout into UDK,imported the two textures ive created for the environment. The stone block wall textures is almost done then its on to making a modular set of stone blocks to use on the borders all around the ground mesh. I experimented with the…
Going to be entirely honest here, I don't think going back to college will help you unless you decide to pursue another career. Your portfolio seems "solid" (meaning it doesn't jump out at me as a warning to stay away), but you've only got one environment and it's not exactly outstanding. Do another, do it better, post…
I personally think people should be allowed to make their own choices.Your body is your body and how you live your life should be up to you as long as it harms noone. Ive had the fortunate freedom of living in a country like Holland where lots of freedoms you cant find in the U.S are available. Going from Texas to…
Interesting I guess folks missed some of my questions over the weekend relating to the tech as well. Here was the original thread but it fell off the map. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89650 Also just quoted it below """"""" Hello everyone, I did not see a thread yet talking about the final resulting…
Things you need to do something about. Your website looks terrible with the big myspace banner, especially because it splits your work up. That's what makes it look terrible. I would make your thumbnails bigger and make your huge header a lot smaller. Your work is more important than the header. Right now it competes for…
Hey guys! I have come upon a problem when im reapeting some platforms in udk, which i don't know how to solve. I have 5 different platforms that i want to switch between but i encounter some shading errors at the end of the platforms when i put them together. Think the problem is lightmap related but im not that…
