Re: Freelance question, if applying multiple jobs..
Yeah, ideally you'll need to book or schedule freelance work for EVERY 12 months of the year (or more). But beware of your own limits. Having multiple freelance projects on your plate AT THE SAME TIME can and will drive you nuts (cuz your clients may not be aware of each other and will only care about their own project… -
Re: A thread where I try to improve by making things look like the things they look like
Thanks everyone :) @ afisher : haha thanks dude. A time-lapse vid is pretty hard for me at the moment because I usually only have short periods of time to work on these, seriously like 15- 20 mins one day, then maybe an hour or two, then 10 mins it drives me nuts..... then there is the whole internet issue. I seriously… -
Re: Gr
Really nice, work, cool character! It looks like a lot of love has gone into this. A few crits, I find it difficult to focus on one area of the character (no focal point). I think this is because there is so much going on with the character detail wise, as well as specular highlights catching your attention. I think you… -
Re: Creating "Comb" maps
Mike: Hahahahah, no, you really don't at this point in time. :D I'm a terribly messy coder at the start of projects. In any case, it's just a tweaked standard Kajiya Kay specular powered to some factor and then smoothstepped to control the sharpness. Funkies & Haz: I'll try and get an alpha version out soon. There are… -
Re: Specular problem after lightbake
Hey guys, had a chat with a friend of mine about this and he told me the following: UDK uses the unwrap to calculate it's specular, so if you start rotating and flipping parts of the uv's it goes nuts. This basiclay happens to all your meshes, but most of the time you don't see it because you're not using a real time… -
Re: Let He who cast the first stone
It's not very hard getting informed though... not in these days. If you really curious about a career, the internet offers you an awful lot of information nowadays. Especially in our industry, where people use computers and the net daily, there's plenty of online information. People can search for forums, job postings,… -
Re: Custom M4 Rifle
Thank you for the kind words liljohn :) Try to take note of what joeriv said regarding the bake. :) And may I add that you add some AO's to parts that there should be one, like switches etc. Engine-based Area AO generally won't get that nook-and-cranny sharp detail so you have to bake it in or do it in Photoshop. Try to… -
Re: UE4 Bio Dome
I feel that the tube is too thin, it's much thicker in your concept... or at least it's based on the angle... Before going nuts with your high poly models... maybe you should block out your scene first that way we can critique on the scale of things and placement of things within the scene... I'd hate to have you go deep… -
Re: Thoughts on exposing bad workers
Yeah, doing that kind of thing publicly is a bad idea. I understand the want to do it, but let's just take me for example. I was working a few years back, and I thought I was doing a decent enough job, but a couple of mistakes on my part, and things start changing. No details, but I found that a person higher up in the… -
Re: Technical interview questions
All the questions are usually to assess two basic things: Are you faking it? Are you ok to work with? Can you explain your workflow and art decisions clearly. Did you do the art yourself or not. Can you actually walk the walk. Do you seem reliable. Would you be able to do the work. Do you inspire me. Can you speak my…
