Re: [Portfolio] Zack Fowler, Environment Artist
What would rather interest me is to see & hear how you've textured this, as the model itself looks rather straight-forward and easy to understand to me. I really like the layersih look of the plaster/grout/putty. And the way you used accentuation on the edges. The combination of hand-drawing and photo reference for surface… -
Re: House please crit. {7 images x 1024}
Thanks Mop, you obviously know how long it took me to pull everything apart, but EQ is right... it seemed impossible that people would spend over 8hrs pulling all these parts apart for a single house....I'm learning lots from everyone, even EQ, his comment simply drives home the point, im working on it right now, im trying… -
PC-CSGO | NEO - Bizon
Aiming for something significantly more subtle in the theme of 80's Sci-fi and looking at the kind of retro futurism of 80's anime and manga. Specifically things like Akira and Ghost in the Shell https://www.pinterest.com/base16/70s-80s-sci-fi/ right now I've got some pretty early ideas Not sure if it screams 80's or if… -
Re: Summer Character Workshop - Swordswoman (Potential Nudity Warning).
I'd have to agree that she looks a tad manly at the moment. In the concept, her face feels more feminine. I would possible bring the lower half of her face up a smidge and soften her jaw and chin. Perhaps her eyes are ever so slightly close together as well? I'm guessing hair is still WIP but it has a very "plastered" look… -
Re: Job Search Question
Yea keep on keeping on, and dont let it get you down. Dont let the short term contracts scare you aswell, you do your job and make some wicked art then you will probably find a contract renewal right around the corner, just dont rely on it just in case it all hits the fan. Uks been hit rather hard recently but theres alot… -
Re: Camera for Making Textures and more...
It can depend on the tech and type of game. But, then again it can also just be a shitty created surface. Alot of times memory is a huge factor. I know that COD sacrifices bump and spec on surfaces that don't necessarily need it. Plaster walls for example. Personally i think anything that starts in zbrush as a sculpt… -
Re: UDK Lightmass/map seams won't quit.
I actually did go ahead and do that-- The brighter walls are an example. I went a bit further to replace all of old geometry with it, and it got rid of the highlighting on the edge, but there are still visible lighting seams on the wall. Uploaded a new photo with those instanced around. I've been hearing/seeing a lot of… -
Re: Just got my portfolio online
Hey man! I like the layout of your site: simple and effective! I also like your modelling and texturing skills, but: your specular maps definitely need a lot of work! Everything looks like plastic (metal, wood on the weapons look all the same). Make things pop out more and get a lot more contrast in there. For the texture:… -
Re: Hand-Painted Crafting Station
Thanks for the great feedback everyone! @CarlK3D - Good notes, and I agree. Can you elaborate on your last point? Do you think the plaster/wood texture doesn't mesh well with the rest of the textures? @Kyle Jensen - Yes! Great thoughts. My plan is to create a mountable crafting station that will get placed on each of the… -
Re: abandoned train station [UDK]
Yeah, I believe they used this technique quite a bit on Uncharted and Crysis, and probably quite a few other titles by now. I don't know if there's an official name for it, but probably something like "biased alpha blend". You essentially crunch the alpha transition to take place within a small range (like .5 to .55) and…
