Thanks for the encouragement! So i've done detailing on the head and feet/claws, added an extra toe (after googling what crow feet actually look like) and used a add clay brush with a soft alpha so push some feathers together so they look a bit glossier and more abundant than they actually are. I'm going to try and bake…
As I mentioned in the other thread I think this would be a great time to see if it would be possible to use multiple resources, and dota communities and try to do a community update like tf2 did. They had their update with robot hats that had the blog post and comic all made by the community, and there were like 60 some…
When I started 3d, it was making props, so I've grown with the habit of making an individual prop in 3ds max, and then arranging it in a scene in UDK. It took a long time for me to get out of the bsp habit! But I know this is a limited workflow and I've tried in the past to work on an environment as much as possible within…
Well... I'm finally doing it. I'm terrified, but I'm doing it. Greetings folks! My name is Brian, and I'm gunning to be an environmental artist. I've spent the past five weeks hunched over my computer creating portfolio piece after portfolio piece. The time has come for me to humbly present it to you guys and shudder in a…
this is not a story of fun... saturday morning at 530 i woke up with a medium level discomfort going on in my side... by 8, it had grown to very uncomfortable and i was in some serious trouble. i had called 911 and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. i got a little morphine along the way that of course made me puke…
Or : keeping a linkedin profile to its very basics (work exp + education), having a link to ones portfolio, and focusing on getting work done. No one in charge of recruiting cares about all the rest - and as a matter of fact, with linkedin becoming more and more crowded with pseudo-inspirational blog posts these things are…
I'm still plugging away to finish this one up. I've got pretty much all of the materials done but I went back and adjusted the tanks as they were standing out quite a bit. Also removed the color filter for now as I need to put time into figuring out how to get what I want without drowning everything out. From here I just…
So skin tone, for the time being i'm using block colour party because Runescape style and party for speed. i started work on the colour theory for the character design but came across a problem with skin tone, if i'm keeping the character the same from base level i need to chose a base skin toen for the character. ofcourse…
Er... there are some other things you may want to think about too. :) - The vast majority of your textures will likely use PVR compression, which results in a really small filesize. - PVR requires that you use square, power-of-two textures. If you use non-square textures, there are some other file types (16-bit?), and they…
@BobtheGreatII: Yeah, that was the case for me also with the seam not being visible in UDK. Although, I did grab the dDo beta yesterday and loaded the OBJ in that previewer, and the seam was visible. Weird. Tried the Gamma/LUT thing too but it didn't make a difference in this case. But anyway, it seems to just have been an…
