Great news Kevin, especially teaming up with Eat3D. Congrats on the 2nd addition. My daughter is now 1 1/2yrs old and she's an awesome handful of fun but I'm not sure the misses and I could go through that again. I like my sleep...
The CGI in the 2nd one was pretty piss-poor. Rubber dolls fighting, anyone? The scene in Blade Trinity where he jumps out of the high window after getting his sword was fairly fake and dodgy too. Damn, now I need to think of a quote.
" ...not use it to make laws or discover new rights not otherwise defined in the document or intended by the authors of it and its amendments. " The problem with that is society will change and you have to have laws that reflect that. If you don't then you get that 2nd amendment foolishness. Good idea then, bad idea now.
I usually work on two different pieces at the same time, so this is 2nd one that I had idea for yesterday. This will also be a mechanical character, whose main trait is that it can pull swords out of it's helmet unit when they wear out. I think it can be an interesting and unique feature. Treating this a bit like a…
Usually people use distance, bevel or blur nodes and some blobs style noise multiplied on top of it to create some elevated edges around tears but it never looks very realistic really especially on walls. And requires lots of miss and hit . For wall paper tears bending down with air pockets and plaster bumps /wires pocking…
As sketchup has made blocking out perspectives and shapes simple, more and more 2d artists are utilizing 3d tools. In the concept art world it's largely a big plus to have some 3d skills to help your 2d work. I've heard Feng Zhu say in his videos that he knows alot of creature artists who use zbrush intensively in their…
time too see how it looks. i made a save becouse i want to keep it open , but used automerge edit to put the cover on the 2nd vert from outside and extrude it out until it connects with the skin.. assign a material too the cover and innard
I gotta say that 2nd revision of the troll is just so much nicer to look at (I look at a lot of semi naked trolls as you can tell,) the colors just blend a lot better and don't make your eyes bleed. Really cool!
Ah thanks man... Well with the 2nd video, I'm having trouble getting the grass to fold back up. There are ways to do it. But performance wise, they are pretty much the same. The second method could be heavy if the RenderTarget res is too high on like a massive map.
Yes, unions suck shit and would be bad for the industry, but that is the only recourse workers have if companies have decided it's okay to fuck people like this. On the other hand, a "2nd Grip" makes 65K/year without overtime... http://www.resource411.com/pdf/IATSE_Wage_Rates.PDF
