Damn this was really cool. It's really interesting to see where things are heading and what is to be expected in the near future. Really liked the section about blending concept and production into one, with all the sketch refine - play it in game stuff. A quick question here: You mention that the process of assigning…
Starting it off with a wip Skull Crawler fanart from the latest King Kong movie. I thought they looked pretty cool. I want to push my organic sculpting and creature work with him. I'm planning to combine it with another character I would like to do in the future, but I'll see about that once I get there. I just started…
Well, some pieces you finish some you don't. The most important thing is to know what you want to do with your life. If one of your goals is to become a better artist then you need to put some hours into it even though you might not feel like it. It should always be some kind of fun though, if you're not up to a big…
I agree on the first part, it sounds like the change in development style was meant in part to address that. On the second, regarding alpha sorting. I havent run it through that test yet but at the top of my head, I recall reading on the official forums that the transparency setting you have under the advanced viewport…
I like them. They remind me of the 'new aesthetic', a style/concept that's been around for awhile but someone put a name to it a couple years ago and it debuted as a major trend this past SXSW, at least in graphics design. Haven't seen anyone take it into gaming yet though, although I imagine it's heading that way. If you…
Been quite busy with some work, my own indie and some practice art anyways been reading on PBR a bit, some hard surface techniques/techniques in zbrush, some rough practice anyways here's a WIP partly on my freetime to try out some hard surface sculpting techniques in zbrush also experimented a bit with some PBR texturing…
Here's my rough sculpt. @PyrZern Here's my advice that I learned from 2D artists. These are the exact words always used. "LOOMIS!" Use Loomis as a basic shape then go ahead from there. Here is a quick redline I did that took 5 mins. These are the main things I found odd. The purple lines are just a normal guide lines. The…
I understand the sentiment, but the hate is a bit misguided. This is a business, always has been. When a business talks about "caring about the customer" this is a euphemism for providing the features that will drive paying customers to buy their products. Like any other product, if you don't feel it's worth it, you don't…
Yo Andy, cheers! It's too bright? Really? I'm sure most of the stuff I've read said your Albedo had to bright, without any lighting information...hmm... I'll definitely have a look through the encyclopaedia though and I'll check my import settings when I get home this evening, thanks for the link! Any suggestions as to…
Ace they say in the QA that estus is back in the game. The healing stones could be a more rare instant-use like the divine things from Dark Souls. I really liked what I saw. There's some dodgy looking geometry in some parts of the new trailer, but the engine is way, way improved. Better lighting, much better and more…
