I mean are we really framing this as "it's a real shame this guy has depression, regardless of whether he's rich or not" because I can think of many people I personally know who have serious issues with depression and things like bipolar disorder, who are far worse off than this guy is. I mean, yeah it sucks and I have…
I have a limit of a 4k map and 15k polys i know i could optimize these textures better with more time but i only had 5 weeks and working full time hours inbetween. i kept meshes very low poly and texture maps low res as i was hoping to add another room to the space station in the upper level. but with these time…
I'm a fitter and turner, and a welder. I have also worked in transport (both as driver and in maintenance). I also dabble in alternative fuel research, auto modifications, gunsmithing and chemical engineering. Looking to play with a bit of 3D modelling for a bit of a change (especially since I have been unable to work for…
I'm kinda rolling my eyes at the camp that are getting excited over this. No one has been able to quantify this for me. Most are completely unable to even put it in laymans terms, never mind tell me what possible practical applications this could have. I've got the whole 'Dude you have no imagination' and 'Hoverboards!'…
The reason you're likely unable to find three characters all from the same artist that follow the same style, is that unless it's been made for a specific game where there is a set style, the artist will be experimenting with each new piece, and/or trying to show that they can work in a variety of styles in their…
I definitely agree it's an art thing to get it popped, it seems to be what I'm struggling with the most.. This is very useful feedback, many thanks! I made lots of improvements since the last post, but somehow I'm unable to be satisfied. Like the textures aren't living up to the potential of the model. I tried using a…
This is really interesting what you're going through Odium. Please don't get discouraged. I know a LOT of people who are in the same boat as you, and I've linked them this thread. But as an aside, I happen to be acquainted with the former head of the IGDA Jason Dela Rocca, and he's started something very interesting. The…
There would be two reasons you're not getting a lot of critiques. (from my point of view) #1 Your scene looks great, but from a comparison point of view, Not many people can give critique on the level you are now because It's very hard to eyeball critiques from Deckard's apartment on this level of detail. #2 Since it is a…
Why is it too late? Are you crippled with arthritis? Are you unable to move a pencil? :P Anywho, I really recommend "The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards". I haven't hugely got into drawing myself yet, but the start of this book really helped alleviate the (fairly common) belief that drawing is…
I'd say that it's because you don't want to cast any doubt on your own ability. To me if you purchase ready made assets that means that you're either unable to make them yourself or just too lazy to do it. Neither of these qualities are something anyone wants to project into the work that they'll show to potential…
