Hey everyone! Time to revive this thread! I've been meaning to for a while but had little time to do personal work for a long time now. I'm slowly picking the pace up on things and continuing to work on my hard surface stuff. For the second project, I've gone for a gun which I don't really do much of at all. .22 Hafdasa…
This is going more back to the original question of adding your own style to the concept and adding to what Swizzle has said. I think they allow you to "add your own interpretation to the style, cleanliness, and add any extra supporting elements as needed" is because in all of the concepts, except the environment we are…
My steps for normal maps are usually as follows (its a zbrush/3dcoat/xnormal pipeline): 1.Make hipoly mesh. This way I'm not worried about topology or anything technical. 2. Make Retopo mesh.

You can also do this in Worldmachine itself but it is pretty advanced to get decent results. - an alternative is to…
Thanks for the feedback. You're right, and I agree. The intro was more of a creative piece for me, and the intention was not for it to be negative. It was more to voice a reality of my experience. Surely it's different everywhere. I was careful not to libel, and I was also careful to turn the article to a more up-beat at…
I visit Kotaku regularly for gaming news. That being said, their reporting quality has gone down considerably over the last 2-3 years. So there is probably some truth in their long article, but seemed to be more about setting things up for a lynching. In the video Dyack mentions that he is no longer in a supreme position…
