Haha i actually have Briggsy on my facebook and i sometimes talk to him about colour stuff. Hue value chroma is the only source i can actually point people to without fear of it being incorrect. It's quite frankly awesome in the depth that briggsy has gone into, but he does have a serious problem of verbose writing and…
Welcome Raphick nice to have to aboard. I'll give you a heads up about most of the people who post here. Most of them will rip most art posted, to shreds and then tell you how to build it back up better. For some people this could be a crushing blow they never recover from. Keep what is coming in mind and hopefully it will…
Hey there Polycounters, it’s been a long time since we posted something on here! We decided it was time for a new stylized environment piece! At the beginning of this project one of our artists initially decided to start working on a small diorama scene, with a mission to broaden her skillset and refresh our studio’s…
The new approach to the hair cards looks much better! As for polycount, 1/4 of the character is not unheard of in the current AAA climate. We've had tri limits anywhere from 5k to 100k so I wouldn't stress too much about tri count, especially for portfolio. Reducing tris or LODing hair is fairly easily done when you have a…
Okay, so since I've found myself waiting for Blizzard's "Heroes of the Storm" release, and saw character artist Marc Brunet (from Blizzard also) do a quick tut on his youtube channel about designing and coloring a video game character concept, I thought I should have a go and do one for practice sakes... So, here it is: A…
Hello. I'm currently making a transition from Painter to Marmoset for baking, though I find every tool a wonderful addition to my workflow there's only one thing that I don't really like, the cage. It seems to appear exactly the same as the cage created by 3ds Max's Projection modifier, and for whatever reason is…
My best Wacom was an old light gray colored one. First in intuos line probably. It was closer to medium size and had small margins around working area , no buttons , nothing redundant , watertight plus a thick everlasting cable. Perfectly fitting a table surface with keyboard on the left . Lasted more then decade. Couple…
Most of the "negative interpretations" of video games come from people who have never even played or seen in-person, a violent videogame (or any videogame in some cases.) Games get a lot of hate by uneducated people the same way books used to get hate. People dislike what they don't understand. I don't see what's wrong…
You're getting two types of reinforcement here... negative and positive. Although it's not very popular, sometimes people respond well to negative reinforcement. When told, "Shut up and stop being a loser" that can trigger a more straight to the point and aggressive response. Still, it's iffy at best to know how one might…
Was probably me, BUT... I'm doing this for personal tech artsy stuff. I'm not doing this because I love OS X so much - it's mostly so I can more dynamically use the limited space on my SSD and so that I can use the intel card for most of the time and save some battery (and not burn a hole in my pants). For my needs it's…
