zBrush Hard Edges Question
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9rZ_jSl6Ok In the link above the sculptor does a great job of creating this sci fi box, but aren't the edges too hard for a solid normal bake? I get the gist of what he is doing and I could probably replicate it to some point, but it's all 90* angles for lots of the things and detail would… -
Re: Why don't we have a "youre ready to start applying to jobs" forum.
Start applying for jobs, then you'll quickly know if you're good enough to find a job. There are too many metrics that fall into place. It depends what artstyle you're going for, what studios you are applying to, what role etc etc. Your portfolio for blizzard should look different than your portfolio applying for Naughty… -
Re: IGDA article about trouble filling jobs
Experience plays a huge role in whether a candidate is hired for a senior role. Where I've been on the hiring end, we've needed artists who not only were able to make good assets, but who also had experienced the full development cycle. From pre-production, all the way through final polish & ship. Someone who understands… -

Re: [UE4] 2048 Environment
Minus the hostile vibe... Envie makes some good points. Mainly the issue about this not reading as being set in 2048. I'd think about layering some of your buildings higher to sell the kowloon walled city cyberpunk theme (assuming that's what you're going for)... or if you're working from reference/concept and the… -
Re: [Portfolio] Chris Martin/CMart (Asset Artist)
after looking at the env stuff (finding it rather) i'd suggest starting with smaller env props and working your way up to large buildings... your buildings are flat and uninteresting surfaces that transition abruptly to one another... your accessories *(awnings and whatnot) lack form... they look like they're made of one… -
Re: The Return of the Monthly contests
HEY I just had an idea. Why don't we name an equipment instead of a hero? For example we say let's make a "shield". Then people start to do shields for heros that have shield (Dragon Knight, Luna and etc) then the judges or the community chosses let's say the best 5 shields (maybe one per hero) then the winners will submit… -
Re: Upgrading to Windows 8 and my 3D programs
i'm not a pro in setups, but as far as i could see win 8 does not do anaything to your programs folder or other folders on your boot drive. it duplicates your personal folder, which is backuped in windows.old. so if you're missing something look there. of course it will alter the registry and add stuff, but to be honest i…
