definately some good God Of War 3 vids on the disc, Gears 1 & 2 (and prob 3) has some good ones as well. also, the art books for GOW3, Uncharted2, and Darksiders in particular (while more about thwe art) are AWESOME behind the scenes sources. And the D'Artiste Character Modeling 2 book has some good Gears stuff as well…
I've refined the textures quite a bit, I think I'm much happier with the more subdued colouring and edge wear. I'm now moving on to rigging... hopefully I can get some more interesting scenes up soon! On a sidenote, I can't believe how much better the lighting is in Toolbag 3. Surprisingly the textures look a lot better as…
instead of using this float $translate[3] = `xform -q -ws -t $sel[0]`; you should get the position of one of the pivots like this float $translate[3] = `xform -q -ws -rp $sel[0]`; the -rp bit stands for Rotate Pivot and instead of using the xform command to move the control to the pivot just use $translate[0] $translate[1]…
Looks like the results of the poll are pretty much done. Looks like we've got: 1. Storm Spirit 2. Queen of Pain 3. Keeper of the Light Runners up: 4. Spectre & Nyx Assassin Do we want to do top 3 or 5? The latter two are a bit more difficult to make items for, so I wouldn't mind some people investing time into them for a…
The site itself is good. When you get some more projects I'd separate them up instead of having it all on the same page. As for the content; The top scene is really good, the robot is pretty good but since you're looking to be an environment artist it's pretty useless. I don't think you need any more education. I'd try to…
I know it's not a solution at all, but with the new photoshop 3d features wouldn't it be at least possible to just import an obj plane with 3 by 3 subdivisions all sharing the same UV space (1,1) and paint directly on that? I only have a very unupdated CS4 flying around somewhere with crappy performence but maybe this got…
Wow, I'm late but here's hoping there's spots available still. Portfolio: http://joshuapang.daportfolio.com/ Contact: jpang83@gmail.com I'd like to offer my services as a prop/environment artist or a texture artist. Why Me: I worked on Skate 3. Responsible on the QA side for the World art, prop placement,…
Actually the pro 3 128gb is 900$ right now for students! I'm seriously considering buying one. Also, thanks for the site! I've also found that the pro 3 works with solidworks as well, which is super exciting for me because it didn't work very well with my xps 1640 (video card issue i think). Making solidworks parts…
so here i have split and unwraped the same wall in 2 different ways. 1 piece has a 3 meter long wall unwrapped as one piece and one has 3 seams and layed perfectly square. Which one would work best? @gnoop so I understand correctly that I can just unwrap pieces like I would do props and then adjust the tiling accordingly…
Worked on some lips, and here's a turntable of one of them that I think I did a better job of when comparing them. Just 3/4th and front views of the 3 lips so far below. Will go through more of this once I make a document on the methodology I'm trying to learn from Ryan's video on the mouth. Turntable:…
