Re: Garden of Monsters - Sea Monster
Hey pbot, this is starting to come along now, I like how you got that brownness in with the moss now so its not just so green and slapped on. But I think you went a bit overkill on the moss in some areas mainly in-between his eyes and a tad too much on the side and top of his head. I agree with Korrax. If there was moss on… -
Re: Why grime and wear on textures?
Generally you're having to deal with shader/lighting setups that aren't physically accurate so you have to do something to give it the same visual interest (note: not accuracy, interest) as the surface would have in real life. Grime and dirt are easy candidates for that. While most things are pretty clean in real life, the… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Adam Ostridge
Reply by AdamOstridge · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - VFXRight, so I guess it's about time I posted up some of my work instead of just lurking through everyone elses threads! It turns out jobs kinda get in the way of personal work a little but I've made a start to my first ability. I'm using PopcornFX and so a lot of my time is spent fighting with the scripting side of things to… -
Re: Learning Zbrush - Begginer
So I made something like this, and I'm not happy with the result: I don't have any idea on how to do that more rough. Let me say to you, how I made this sculpt. You can say, what I'm doing wrong: 1. Base mesh in 3D Max. 2. Adding geometry in Zbrush ( ~2 mln poly/verts ) 3. Trim dynamic brush on edges. 4. Clay Tubes brush,… -
Re: [Portfolio] Petr Sokolov
Privet Petya! The website menu is slightly annoying, but other than that nice and simple. The angel I would say is your best looking piece so far. The UVs could be packed better, but it looks cool. Your Medieval hut is labeled as Next Gen, yet its pretty 2005 looking (mainly because of extreme lowpoly that cripples your… -
Re: Is my graphics card worth upgrading?
It's not wise to look for a supply that is merely cheap. You want to find a PSU that is of a reliable build quality, efficient, and has sufficient power on the 12v rail(s). I wouldn't buy the Diablotek simply because the price is low. $30 power supplies of significant wattage aren't typically well made (low grade… -
Re: Gears2 Environment Art
Underside of the pickup below, I ended up borrowing one of Bill Green's toy cars as partial reference, I really know nothing about cars. I guess I see these things differently because I know Pete Hayes is in the building, banging out proper vehicles hahaha This was the first one I did, my first car model too, took a shot… -
Re: Looking for an Apprenticeship
there are usually contests up at one of the major game art sites - cgtalk, game artisans, here, threedy, and probably others that I'm leaving out. Participate in them. They're great learning experiences, get you exposure among your peers, and almost universally exist to encourage feedback and build communities.… -
Re: Temple of Crom Unearthly Challenge
Jim I like the way it looks much more than before. Texture resolution looks better, the altar looks immensely better and the differences in value help separate everything much better. That said, I want to touch on the cohesiveness of the textures here. I see that the wall are made of rock, as if this was once a cave that… -
Re: The Desert(What can you do with no diffuse maps?)
Hey, Eric, thanks for your comment! Well if we can trust how UDK calculates custom nodes instructions it costs 14 to replace a diffuse map with a gradient map. The image I linked on page 2 shows some examples: (damnit with all those pages stuff gets lost ) Adding a diffuse pattern on top is just 2 more instructions. Of…
