Re: Making Art tests and not getting response from employers
Everything you wrote sounds reasonable. Time is money but it goes both ways. You cant make a game without people. There will come a time when people wont be necessary and companies will gladly do without them, but for now we are still necessary. I respect studios for providing the chance to make a living at what I love,… -
Re: Wendy's hand-painted material practice
Thanks guys! I will definitely be making more of these. And not just Quake 2 items, because I need to practice non-sci-fi materials as well, LOL. XD Here's the next prop, the quad damage. I had fun figuring out the heavily rusted nails. I've never been particularly good at making heavily textured surfaces, all of my… -
Re: Doom4 plasma rifle
See the main bit im having trouble is understanding the whole "UVs need to be good for texture painting" because they are never going to be seamless and its impossible to unwrap them in a single UV island, so either way you are going to have to paint the damages by trial and error and see what works and what doesn't. That… -
Re: Handpainted textures
Way better ! However you made a crucial error that most people does, scratch, breaks, any damage have an history being them, you can't just randomly put them because they look nice :) For example if you have a major crack on a rock you can assume something heavy drop on it, which would mean that the others rock around… -
Re: Student Project - Firewalker Mech
the middle of the impact craters are still the same colour as the rest of the undamaged model. Maybe this is how your armour reacts to such a level of damage, or maybe it could have tarnished the armour colour as well. Up to you really. The feet of the model are very sharp and triangular,this could cause a lot of problems… -
Re: Clients that won't let you show your work after release.
There are numerous ways to deal with it before signing the contract. Part of the reason I wanted to start the thread was because many artists have operated under the assumption they are going to show their work for years and you don't find out the client won't let you until the game ships. That can be a year or two after… -
Re: [UE4] Portfolio Improvement (improving previous pieces)
Looking really great so far! A few things that stick out for me: Everything feels artificial, they are all in the scene but don't feel like they are apart of the scene. Too neat too straight etc. The ware isn't consistent across the scene. Your walls have taken a fair bit of damage and look old yet the rest of your scene… -
Re: Chinese Deli, Please Critique!
I still think some major work needs to be done on the stainless steel. It still feels very Matte in most areas. I would punch up the specular, alot Even when it's dirty and has damage to the surface, like in this reference, you still get some really strong highlights, and you should be getting this in your for sure,… -
Re: STALKER 2 officially canceled
Problem is, we had a game which went the Fallout/MMO/Stalker route of things, I forget what it was called, maybe Fallen Earth? But the gist is, alot of issues arised due to the very nature of the game. I'm optimistic for Survirum, because STALKER, as mentioned, was a very RPG/MMO type game, only that instead of taking turn… -
Re: The Monthly CHARACTER Challenge | October 2014 | the Soothsayer
StephLee Thanks! Starfish235 Thankyou! Pearse Thanks! The bands were done in max. They are just strips of polys I drew over a template of the zbrush mesh, using the polydraw freeform tool. Usually you can just leave them as strips and in zbrush mask them and use extract to get a skin, and then zremesh to get the strips…
