Re: I Need Your Help
I am going to ask you some questions first, and then I will give you some more advice back. Do YOU think your portfolio is good enough to get a job? Have you done research of other JR artists who have jobs, or are looking for jobs and compared your portfolio to theirs? How much work have you done since you graduated 2… -
Re: Realistic Tropical Island - Aztlan -
I think your grass looks great. It does not though, seem all that realistic though, sorta stylized. Perhaps find some reference images to overlay? Another suggestion or actually more of a question; does this grass texture have a normal map? Adding a normal map/ spec/ subsurface/bump might really help sell it better. If you… -
Re: Phillip Klevestav
Hey fearian, It's an old Source scene I started on actually, I wanted to play around some with exaggerating color bounce a bit. I found a small app that could up the diffuse influence on the lightmap. So essentially you can drag and drop a .vtf to the program and multiply preferred RGB value to have the surface affect the… -
Re: FF7 Tifa
@PyrZern Thanks! The eyes are about half way down the head at the moment, so I'm not sure about moving them any lower, there's a pic attached of the head without hair though :) @polaroid29 Thanks, you're right about the hips/thighs, they were too wide so I've reigned it in a bit and slimmed out the thighs more. Thanks for… -
Re: What do you consider a "cliche" model?
I'd agree most guns are cliche, I've only seen a few that are actually different or interesting. Angkor Wat, don't model it, please. Sci-fi hallways are a bit over done, sci-fi is fine if you do a bigger scene with some point of visual interest. Wow fan art with their old specs. Wow is starting to get dated, look at either… -
Re: The Honest Feedback Thread
Hey, guys! Some awesome work (and even more awesome critique!) in this thread. I'd love to contribute, too! This is the piece everyone dotes on me for, so I thought it'd be a good piece to get critique on - especially as it's my first limited palette drawing, and a lot of my typical stylization shows through in this piece.… -
Re: First texture art attempt
Hey CDQuestia, nice start but its not much to go on at the minute. I'm sure you will get a lot of help/links to tutorials from the great community here but you will need to give people more information to go on. A few things that might help: In general > Software you use/intend to use (Max/Maya/ZBrush/Photoshop etc or a… -
Re: Thread thumbnails
Want to give a +1 to the idea that if we had thumbs providing crit would be a lot easier. Personally I like to give pointers regarding composition, layout and lighting but I don't know squat about weapons, characters or vehicles. I also like to browse the stylized stuff. Since the thread titles are pretty vague usually I… -
Re: How to resize uvmapping?
Out of morbid curiosity I looked up Second Life's materials. It only supports one UV set per material, diff/spec/normal, no lightmap, no vertex blending textures on meshes. I would seriously reconsider how you're approaching this project and make something stylized that can use tiling textures and modular cliff/rock… -
Re: Hand Painted Gun
Make a specular color map, with the same colors and saturate it and think of making it shine, right now the colors are toned down looking to me based on looking at the reference, the red sticks out as being more saturated, then the entire model looks like it could use a spec color map to boost those areas up. You can also…
