Ah yes I did cheat on the grip a bit :p Mostly because it will barely/not be visible in game. But I'll revisit that area, it'll look better in my portfolio too even though it won't be visible in the game itself. @n88tr: You have some good points and I completely forgot about the magazine release switch. I'll remove the…
the problem is that a lot of people don't bother to research or think about how things are constructed in the real world. This is something we often hear from our clients - everyone really wants artists, from concepters to modelers, to think how items are constructed in the real world. While I think some reference can be…
Track side objects like buildings, grandstands, garages... should be separate objects. Collision surfaces like walls should also be separated from driving surfaces. My experience is only in building real racetracks, so if you are planning some fantasy mountain course or something then you can probably split things up and…
Hey Mark! Impressive work! I especially like the 'Dawn of Fantasy' environments. Very nicely done. So, I have a proposition. Me and my team are currently working on a 3D RPG, and our environment artist backed out. So we need someone who can model for us. Here's the thing: the project is starting off with a promotional…
I want to play Final Fantasy 6 (was 3 in Japan), but this won't be a replay as I actually never played this one! A buddy of mine calls it the best in the series, and I trust his word that it's good so I'm looking forward to checking it out when I have the time. There are other old rpgs that I have on a to check out list…
H.R. Giger was one of those artists who defined the unforgettable memories for an entire generation. Most of us can't even reminiscent about our most definitive science-fiction memories without remembering Alien. Huge impact in science-fiction and fantasy, to many imaginations. His inspiration with his designs are widely…
eh...i think you're somewhat abusing the concept of a railgun here, mainly with the dramatically short distance between the clip and the muzzle. Your railgun will have to fit in that short distance along with any reloading mechanism, and if its using a chemical propellant for an initial kick, while that would decrease the…
I think the problem isn't truly the love what we do attitude making us do the long hours, I think it's the fact that when we get our first jobs everyone else is working those hours and we figure if we don't then we will get fired. Most of us refuse after a few years to do too much crunch but the flipside of that is because…
can we get some more info on what is actually going to be covered? nm... Guy Williams – Visual Effects Supervisor, Weta Digital - “The Making of Avatar and Creating the World of Pandora” David Schaub – Animation Director, Sony Pictures Imageworks - “The Making of Alice in Wonderland” Stephan Martiniere – Art Director, i.d.…
hehe Jesse I'm right there with ya on the toys. That's a whole other set of shelving though, here at home and in the office. I tend to collect various gashapon (capsule toys) from japan. If I do have any one strong theme in my collection though, there would be two; Ghost In The Shell and Dead or Alive / Team Ninja. I have…
