Hello everyone and welcome, :) My name is Nick, I am about to finish up my last year at school. I have tons of loans to pay for an art degree that means nothing. I want to work at Blizzard, My professors say I'm wasting my potential and that I'll never work there. I'm determined to prove them wrong. So lets begin shall we?…
Ingredients: Autodesk photofly http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/photo_scene_editor/ camera Maya ZBrush 3dcoat marmoset xnormal I recently experimented with photofly to see how it could fit in to a game asset pipeline. This was a quick test but I came away with quite a few possibilities in my head. Feel free to add your…
If this is not for games, then spacefrog is on spot. And you could even take renders of the Ivy you make to a texture for an in-game asset. If you want to populate the ivy in the game engine, assuming for game, then you'd want to make some variation types of little clusters, big clusters and long/short line trails of them.…
I guess by not making it monthly they avoid people jumping in and downloading tons in one month and then not subscribing anymore. However, I don't agree that the abusers should ruin it for everyone. There are other measures they could take to avoiding that. Hell, I might even consider it if it was a 3 month subscription.…
This Question is mainly for people who haven't work at a Studio right now so the Question is do you take breaks? I mean with that driving into Holiday or going outside with Friends eating something and so on or do you just work many hours... since a Year im doing 9 - 16 Hours 3D Practice (Haven't got a Burn Out once) and…
pigart, that is looking really nice. FairyDuck, yeah more contrast is needed, and possibly desaturate the wood a bit. The metal looks great, but the wood looks very noisy. A small update before I headed to work today (SE at a research company). Added in some lighter scratches, also worked on the back side's wood and the…
Vig and Paul make some excellent points. With your background as a web designer, I see this as a technical advantage, which could be a good niche focus as you try to get a job in games. If you are good at HTML, it isn't a huge leap to learn most scripting languages. A good script writer/more technically inclined artist can…
As far as the design of the set is concerned, I think you did a good job. The helmet, broadness of the shoulder pads, the weapon and the overall silhouette itself compliments the nature of Sven well. However, the color set you adopted for the items is in heavy contrast with what makes Sven identifiable. That is one of the…
Hello there Shelby, I really like your thread so far for some reason.. if you stay consistent, this could be a nice thread to watch over a few months or more. Most people do not document every step they do from the very first models, so, please keep going. My main advice would be to decide if you want to go with Only…
I wasted quite a bit of time today wondering what's going on. So when I use the reimporter button after moving things around a bit in my model and making an updated color id map, the color id's don't seem to actually take effect unless I hit the link button. When I load the new color id map, I even see photoshop show me…
