Re: Shork's Workshop(I only do concepts)
A few pointers: Lets take your mushroom treant for example. That isn't a concept, that's an idea. It's you going "Mushrooms grow on trees, lets make a mushroom treant" and drawing some mushrooms over a concept sheet of treant. Ideas as such are pretty much useless, because EVERYBODY has ideas. What sets a concept apart… -
Re: 3ds Max CE3 UVW Rotation of Bitmap Issue
You bet - heres what I have so far: In max I imported this bridge which is out of an old game and so at some point the textures were uvw mapped. See bridge - two materials under a multi sub object. The picture below is the o_nvabridge_m1 and the second sub material is a proxy which is a solid color. As you can see - in Max… -
Re: Get a game job!
Well, it shouldn't really be about age. But we do live in an ageist society like it or not so it's hard to ignore it as a factor. As for 'older noobs', well you have to admit that you're probably in a reasonably small group of people there Oxy. Generally the older people that I work with have been around the bizz a long… -
Re: HairTG - Hair & Fur, procedural hair/fur texture generator and 3D hair card utility - MASTER THREAD
apollo580 Hi, so first thing I would recommend you upgrade to the latest version (on the store where you originally bought it) as Hair Clump Tool is a very old version, the product is now called HairTG - Hair & Fur and current version is 2.5.1 (requires Substance Designer 2019.3). To have the custom shape input you need to… -
Re: 3D Mesh Formats - Face-Centric or Point-Centric - Pro and Contra
@gnoop Yep indeed. I found some old polycount post about this topic (with a lot of old and familiar faces) https://polycount.com/discussion/50588/technical-talk-faq-game-art-optimisation-do-polygon-counts-really-matter Not sure how much of an issue this is nowadays but it might be part of the reason why a point-centric… -
Re: What tips are there to save space on the UV layout?
It replaces the objects that are selected. If nothing is selected it won't actually replace anything. So make sure to select all the old bolts before you click apply. Here's a quick walk thru of the process: - Select all the bolts and detach (as one single object). - Then run "Object Detach" to break them all apart into… -
Re: help needed ... historical buildy-sim recommendations?
yeah Anno 1404 looks right up my alley, i was just about to grab it off steam but noticed the £35 price tag ... considering it's a year old and goes for half of that on Amazon and Game, that's mental! Guess i may have to walk into town, and actually use money to acquire it from one of these old "shoppe" things (still, i… -
Re: Mouse for Digital Artists
Logitech MX518, been using this for years, and as soon as anyone else uses this mouse they buy one as well. I should get a crate of them incase they ever become to hard to find. My 65 year old father-in-law got one and loves it, silly thing, an old man using a "gamer" mouse. But its just really comfortable. Wireless mice… -
Re: How many pieces should be in a artist's portfolio before they start applying?
Well the biggest thing is, you want to show off your best work. Having only a few pieces is better than having a large number of old/unfinished/not very good pieces. So just concentrate on getting up work that really highlights your skills as an artist, and the rest should work itself out. If I was reviewing a portfolio, I… -
Re: Fabric Engine 2
It's more than an alternative to any one dcc application. It's an alternative to all dcc applications, the workflows and production models they represent and the entrenched business interests that produce those applications. What's interesting and special about this revolutionary new framework is it doesn't force the…
