Hey guys, I have a question concerning the use of IOR on games. We know that one of the key points on making a believable material is adjusting the IOR value, specially when talking about metal and glass. I know that there are ways to change the IOR value of your metal on engines like UE4 and unity, but my questions is: Is…
Hey, so here is a project I've been wanting to do. Since I left school I've seen a lot of people talking about 3D sculpting being an important skill to have, so I am trying my first sculpt. I started with a low poly mesh in 3DS Max and imported it into Mudbox and this is the progress so far. I'm pretty green at this whole…
Hi there! As the title suggests, i'm interested in knowing how to or if it's possible to get work in the U.S or Canada without having any sort of game development degree. I have talked to a friend about this and he claims it's hard in the U.S which does sound true giving today's situation in murica, so my main question is…
First of all sorry if this is in the wrong place I wouldn't be surprised if it is. This uni semester I've set myself the task of learning as much about arms as possible. I want to do 30+ good quality sketches and then go into a zbrush sculpt of the bones, musculature and then a full arm. Basically I wanna know what you…
Hello everyone! I am a college senior in Game Art and an aspiring tech artist. I am currently working on my thesis project, and I am having problem deciding on a script, so as a question to all you animators, what kind of scripts would make tasks for you animators easier. It does not have to reinvent the wheel, but has to…

I’m planning on sleeping in San Fran tues-thurs night (possibly Friday if I can’t find a red eye) If there’s anyone else in the same boat or…

Hello everyone, I'm struggling with the following problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rk6pkcoeueqau57/TreeIntersections.JPG?dl=0. As you can see, the intersections of the branches - which are pushed together and overlapping - have really bad lighting. I tried to fix this by manually adjusting the vertex normals, but apart…
HHHHHHey there, Some of you were talking about pax, gamescom etc and how they went showing of their game! That sounds very cool. I am curious to know who goes there/what happens at these events. I thought it was just PR and marketing, please share your experiences! As artists, which one would be the best to attend to? How…

If you do please tell me what you think. imo Good leads don't just let you learn a lot, they show, inspire or even push you to learn a lot or they might choose to let you loose if they see raw…
