Re: Anything wrong with having an 'Artist name' instead of real name for portfolio stuff?
As said before it might be to early for the OP to care about things like this and he should be focusing on the work, but since it was the original question. brand is a thing and being remembered can be very important especially in the "late game". Big companies and product brands doesn't just change their name because they… -
Re: Hand-painted Wells
If you're going to treat your UVs that will use a tileable texture the same way you treat a unique asset, there's really no point in using a tileable texture. When you create a tileable brick wall texture, for example, that will repeat indefinitely within you UV editor. If you unwrap the wall model that will use said… -
Re: Rigging helper bones: And other nonsense.
Thanks rob for the suggestions thus far. I have been looking at the hl2 facial system and even read a shor tut on its morphing system. The problem I see with a bone rigged face versus a morphed version as far as muliple normal mapped creation. If you are creating your normal map in a outside program like zbrush, going back… -
Re: dammit...i feel like shit :(
[ QUOTE ] Perhaps I was giving an example from my experience. [/ QUOTE ] Here's an example from my experience. Like I said, I graduated high school, and the graduation is really the only moment I care to remember. My family was supportive, and proud.

Re: Any tips for normal mapping curved surface?
I checked your work to keep you honest, and there were some mistakes that I think were made that may have skewed your results towards your final conclusion.

Re: crits and help please
Hey Amouro, Don't worry about sounding dumb on the forum, you're new, it's not a problem. Posting models for crits, first of all, you've done everything right in the sense that you got your images posted and that's fantastic. Now, the next step is being a bit more efficient with your images to get better crits. Let me show… -
Re: Enough. Shooting.
next-gen games, not so much. I've played a few games though that have had a good narrative and character development. one example of a next gen game i thought was pretty rad story-wise and character wise, was the latest splinter cell. not a perfect game, and not a totally engrossing story, but I guess with the point of not… -
Re: Artists personalities...Hughs is cool, he typical?
John, your viewpoint, does seem somewhat lacking in actual knowledge of what diagnosed depression means. Which actually can be very dangerous as far as offering advice. You mention how people react when you bring it up. The probelm is your offering this solution without recognizing that everyones is a individual both… -
Re: 3dsmax alpha glitch
this is not just a max problem but really every 3d app that supports alpha blending unless you do alpha testing (i doubt that you can tell max to do that ) which gives you some ugly hard alpha edges but sorts properly or you build you hair with actual opaque geometry ... which will inevitability give you a stylized look in… -
Re: How do People make High Poly models in 3ds Max ?
...low poly mesh only using chamfer to make it higher poly... and doing it this way feels soooo wrong and stupid :O.... I like this statement, because it sort of describes a lot of things we have to do to get things to work. For harder edges make an edge loop close to another it creates a tighter transition. Think of subd…
