Hi everyone A friend recently bought Neverwinter Nights and we started to talk about creating a character for the game. I would like to know if someone here has good links to tuts dealing with custom characters and/or races implementation. I think I could find some of this info by digging around the internet BUT I'm sure…

Heres the thing, those materials actually have a yellowish tint to them in real life. That's why this is important. Your brain may think/expect a concrete retaining wall to be gray, but in reality it usually has some color to it.

The thing I'm encountering is a lot of lighting artifacts which i can't get rid…
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it. I'm posting this here for my own sake but also a way to be more involved in our industry community, learn new techniques, and hear other artists' perspective or advice, if you're so inclined to give it 😁 I…

Lighting is a very important step as an artist I am looking for feedback to do it right. The more I look to my project the more lost I get. I am…
