[ QUOTE ] Ok.. So the general idea is to get as many artists as possible to do a single task and then pay the one that did the best? I have a hard time thinking you will get any professional artist signing up for this. Personally I find this idea very unethical and unprofessional. [/ QUOTE ] The beauty of this system is I…
Thanks for the replies guys. I took the rest of today off of working on it, I've had so much work to do recently it's crazy. Just decided to kinda slack off and play some games for a bit :P I'm not quite sure I understand the composite map, never really messed around with too much in the material editor, I'll have to look…
Christopher Nolan: "Well, the way the story is constructed we always imagined that Harvey Dent would form the emotional arc of the story. His story, his tragedy would be the arc of the story. Because the Joker, the purpose of the Joker for us was always that he has no arc, he has no development. He doesnt learn anything…
The texture has very little colour identity because you've shaded with black and white, and it's doing a very poor job describing the material. I take it you used dodge/burn on parts? While I wouldn't discount it completely, it's rarely a good choice of tool. I'd suggest just laying down a dark colour (dark green, brown,…
I see your in canada as well as me. I highly suggest you look into an incorporated company if you are going to be doing any longish term contracting. I have done contracting work as a sole proprietor and as an INC company (computer technician). My numbered company lets me write off all kinds of things, including some…
great to see you posting on the new board, pezz, it looks like you've really been boning up on your traditional skills, which is a great sign. i didn't get into oil painting until i was at college. i like the oils and the shirt designs very much; my only crit would be that on the oils, one of my art professor would be…
"I used 1024 for texture, normal looks a little pixelated, what's the best to clean it up? or is 2048 is the new standards for next gen now?" 2048 is standard for certain objects. you wouldn't put a 2048 on a park bench for example. Its all about context. as far as the pixelation, post the maps so we can see whats going…
For the same reasons they endured the five previous episodes that came before it. I went in with low expatiations to begin with and sat there OK show me a story Regardless to the movies flaws I was not expecting an academy performance in the first place and after two hours I was left with an enjoyable experience, worth…
I agree it catches way too many people off guard, they should just disable it and give a progress bar instead. To explain it: That's the actual output of all the maps combined (same thing as running a "complete map). What it shows is a full render of the object, then based on your settings it saves out pieces of that…
Donating to turn off ads is a nice thought, but I'm not sure there's any value we could offer beyond "supporting Polycount." I'm also not sure the effort to get a handful of people to pay $10/one time or something would markedly offset the ongoing costs. The Spreadshirt site sold a lot more swag than the last t-shirt run…
