Re: Best UV Unwrap software for 3DS Max?
I learned to first drive a stick, it doesn't make me a better driver, it just means I can drive more types of cars. It was a cumbersome process and unnecessary, but I am thankful I learned earlier in my life rather than just getting by and putting off learning. That's the trap you can fall into when you rely on shortcuts,… -
Re: Staying Positive?
Firstly, I know how you feel, I'm also 25 and working towards a job in the industry as an artist of some sort. A lot of people will tell you to 'man up', and in all honesty while it's harsh advice... it's also probably the best advice. Negativity and feeling depressed will only yield poor results in your creativity. Now… -
Re: 3D Environment Art - learn to draw first?
Ive been a self taught 3d environment artist for over 10 years professionally and never had to draw a single thing. In fact, I would say I cant draw haha. But I did spend a large amount of time honing the skills that were directly applicable to the position I wanted, which was 3d and enviros. Never had a studio ask if i… -
Re: WIP - T-34 for next gen game
Due to major scale problem, had to spent quite amount of time to 'house cleaning' yesterday. Another part dragged me down was, as I saw from other post, 3ds max imageplane setup was quite mysterious; I precisely set the image size (in 'Pixel') from PS and bring it into max (my current working unit is 'cm'), and applied UVW… -
Re: WIP: Models for reel
What is your aim for your reel? Are you looking for higher-end work (XBox, PS3, PC) or handheld / portable / maybe even Wii stuff? Currently this model doesn't seem to fit well into any of the categories. It's got a 512x512 texture, which is probably too low-res for "next-gen" and too high-res for anything else (RTS unit,… -
Re: NBA Street DLC
Wow the responce for this new court is substantially better than when I showed the other 3 before. Poop, I'm glad you like the shadows this was our big next gen feature and is ultimately what made our game look different than everything else that had shipped before us. Skate is using the same lighting tech so you will see… -
Re: Need advice on rebooting to learn 3D
First of all if you want a job in a game company you must learn the industry standard software otherwise you will be in a disadvantage against the other artists that know them. Check out my answer to this thread ( http://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2624103#Comment_2624103 ) for a list of industry standard software (… -
Re: Catacomb
Ahh the little scene that could. It keeps chugging along getting better as time goes, but never really making over peak of the hill. This is more than likely going to contradict what others have posted, and later on I might not agree with it but here goes. The spec is too high, I would cut it out all together. I've never… -
[HELP] Please help me complete a scene (sculpting/texturing/lighting assets)
Hello everybody. I am working on a scene based on the image below, from Alexandre Dibone (https://www.instagram.com/alexandrediboine/) Right now I have finished blocking the entire scene, and have a couple of textures in place, for some of the wood parts, and the walls: I'm not really sure on how to tackle my next steps,… -
Re: Modular buildings - some technical questions
@redhonour wow. That’s one of the most inspirational scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Just spent some time looking it over and studying it on ArtStation. Thanks a ton for the breakdown and detailed reply. That helps a lot. Some questions I have regarding your trim sheets and props: - how was the air conditioner made? Was…
