If this career is important enough to you, you will find a way to make it work. Be it tuning your portfolio towards the company's around Seattle or just manning up, telling your wife, hey I got this bitchen job offer in place X and were moving there. No real to be unhappy your whole life/unemployed/scrape by due to…
But they are to blame, they chose to take on the job... though they are not alone in that blame. One of the problems with outsource studios is that they practically take anything, even if its last minute and they know they cannot do it properly. Why? Money & hopefully returning clients. Its a double edge sword though, if…
Heya. I think for an environment artist ( I assume that's your angle) it's a good idea to have at least 2 environments, maybe quite different environments to show range and that you solidly understand lighting and composition. For the texture sheets, there's not a lot of need having all of them at such high res on your…
Something that I used when I felt like drawing in Photoshop, when I didnt have access to a tablet but stubbornly wanted to draw anyway, was to increase the canvas a lot... draw however I like... and then downsize it in the end. I would use Bilinear or Bicubic interpolation. I would usually draw in a canvas 4x bigger than…
That 50MP camera is full-frame, so a 8mm fisheye would be about 132º field of view, which would mean a max resolution of 23k (I think?). A bit overkill, but I can dream :) You could capture the full dynamic range of the sun with even 4 EVs, it would just mean the rest of your image would be almost solid black and noisy as…
nerf - yeah, I wanted to switch him up. Either short and squat or more human like but with really long legs like if you stood a frog up on its hind legs. and with the head, that's what i was kind of thinking, so i lowered it a little, but not too much. Jungsik - thanks :) the neck area is what i've been struggling with for…
Tank you all for the comments and advice and it is pretty much a YOU situation, the GF and i are for the long term and i cant really see us breaking up we have had some bad times at the beginning but all is good now. She is becoming a teacher! She knows how much he games company means to me its been a long wait! Its the…
You are likely working with a blinn/phong specular component. Something likespecColor= tex2d(speccolortexture, inuv);h=(cam+l)/2;spec =specColor* pow( dot(h,n), specpower); If it's something like that then the exponent (specpower) is what will control the tightness of the highlight. Values of 1 or lower will be blown out,…
I wanted to try a design with more real estate for creating tattoos, it was quite difficult to get her not just revealing all though. Aside from that the facial scar and damaged eye/ear are really helping push her design as a badass pirate. I tried to make this design more rich with the use of a lot of gold and fancy trims…
Something to consider is that player-piloted vehicles are viewed from the rear most of the time, so adding interactive elements to the rear (like rear opening flaps) gives the player more in-your-face visual elements. Also, something that I just noticed that doesn't seem to be factored in here (although it wasn't in the…
