It could be - just depends on what you choose as your light source! If you wanted to have a really weak light source, or just rely on the reflected/ambient light, then yeah, the light would be "softer". The highlights would mostly go away and you'd have less contrast. Kind of like if you lit a 3D scene with just a low…
To preface this “article” : Everything stated here is totally anecdotal, as in, based on my own experience and what I observe\talk\learn through other professionals. It DOES NOT necessarily represent my current employer views nor i speak on their behalf, this is opinionated and seen through the glasses of my own individual…
I am opening this topic to upload any progress of my work for the assignment of Advanced Vehicle And Weapon Prototyping. The module wants me to create a giant mech based on some references and images that I am free to chose. I am currently working on the blockout and colour design and I want to share with you my path in…
We knew about this. We talked with them a bit but it was clear our directions were a touch different :) . Mostly on the fact that they wanted things that made the original weapon effects work meaning most of the Engineer stuff, the scout stuff (except the melee) and the Pyro jar, would all be illegal submissions under…
Man, I'm so sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for the feedback and advice. I've heard many times that my 2D skills matter tremendously, but I've also heard many times that they don't really matter at all and are simply a bonus. It's good to hear that I can still make it in the AAA world without fantastic 2D…
You're actually in luck if you live in a country with low cost of living as pigart said. Try explaining to a client that the reason you're so expensive if because you get taxed for 50% of your income, need to add 25% ontop of the price for VAT and then your rent is 1000 dollars a month. ^^ (I get why this is and I'm not…
Decided to delay the UV Unwrapping, Sculpting and Texturing for later, I did some small fine tuning to the base model and compiled it with simple base textures/masks again. I'm happy enough with the base model and how it's basic geometry works to begin the sculpting over phase, which isn't my strongest suite but this is…
if you want the best bang for the buck the regular "consumer" stuff will be it. the xeons and quadro cards will run you alot more money for not that much more performance. you'd get that if money was no obstacle and you wanted the very best stuff out at the moment, but chances are 2 years from now a typical consumer…
Actually its a flying ship with legs.. So I need bones for animations of it landing/taking off vertically, and the rear hatch opening closing. Plus the legs interpolate between animation and the surface (like struts) so the programmers got some work cut out for him. But he wants me to have separate animation/model files…
I always wore long sleeves to interviews, once I was hired I would say, "oh, just wanted to let you know I had tattoos". If they had a problem with it I would wear long sleeves. My current job doesn't care, but I dress in button ups and dress pants anyway and typically wear long sleeves just rolled up. I got asked by a…
