Re: Another Portfolio Critique
I would say your Cambodian scene has the most potential but still could be improved. Your stone texture on the pillars and just above them are more towards the quality you want to be aiming for. Your floor texture looks a little shiny in some shots but looks like a fairly solid floor slab texture I would make just adjust… -
Re: [Student] - how much do I suck?
Yeah, I'm kinda in your position. I've felt that maybe my art isn't good enough, since i don't get any jobs, or that my portfolio doesn't show my current skill anyways. I've thought of applying for another 2 year of education and realized that it's not worth it. Sure, you'll be in an great environment and you'll really… -
Re: how to draw a beautiful art (help is needed)
Hey man, In both cases your foreshortening is really off and that its really destroying the feeling of space and the values are muddy making everything feel wobbly. If you pick 1 or 2 pieces I can draw into them in the coming weeks. As far as subject matter I'll only go over the 2 you directly posted. The first one is… -
Re: A rant, about using photos in textures.
Rather than snidely disreguard this interesting discussion as futile, I'll try to contribute something meaningful. I realize there are some who weren't around for the first go round or it's successions, and who could benefit from hearing many points of view on this matter. Photosourcing is fine, I do alot of it. I use it… -
Re: The new expressway into the industry
From my end a guy trying to get into the industry but isn't desperate to break in here is my take. Most places list "Senior lead positions " and or 1-3 shipped titles or 5+ years experience. They never bother posting "particle gunt work guy". I understand they are trying to weed out/scare the crappy applicants but really… -
Re: Belarusian President Election
Hey, flaagan, no worries, I guess it was me, who was rude and I beg your pardon for it. I wasn't too serious about it and I meant it more like a sarcastic joke than anything else. And even though I wasn't referring to US specifically I think you guys have got a lot on your plates as it is and I wouldn't want to see a… -
Re: which 3d package?
I would stick to Max and Maya and stay away from the free software unless you aren't that serious and just want to mess around with 3D. Maya Personal Learning Edition is a pretty good place to start. But I found the free tutorials left me high and dry just when I needed them the most, after that they conveniently sell… -
Re: Normal Map problems
Aha. You're onto it. It most certainly is a smoothing group problem. I just removed all smoothing from my wheel, left it faceted, and the glitch disappeared. However then it also generated a nasty normal map with fake "seams" along where the edges are in the facets. I'll have to find a happy medium ... will post screenies… -
Re: Pimping the FX.
It has been a while since I used Cascade, but a couple of quick crits (I'm assuming that you are going for a semi-cartoony/Diablo 3 look): Ice: Not sure why you present this in a different setting, doesn't really seem to add anything. You could try a bit of distortion on the crystals and varied their size a bit more. There… -
Re: Jungle Jewel Scythe
The material definition is very off. I'll be honest with you, I can't tell for sure what material any of the parts are supposed to be. I mean I guess that the handle is supposed to be wood with some crystals on it and some leather straps wrapped around it, but I can only tell that from the colors and nothing else. So some…
