Re: Storage Room/Basement Scene
@ chrisavigni: Thanks! :) luthyn : Thanks, an no, no dDO, just good old fashioned photo sourcing and painting. I did use nDO pretty extensively for the brick walls. @ DWalker / ShockInfinite / passerby : Thanks, and yeah I settled on the method of vertex painting. I have created two materials I'm gonna try vertex painting… -
Re: freelancing with blender?
I'm late to this but in Blender you can assign faces as flat or smooth without splitting geometry, the default box for example doesn't have splits; you can export as an obj and import and it still won't have splits. For a game asset the engine will split hard edges in the end, if it's for film you probably don't want to do… -
Re: Cathedral WIP- Advice appreciated
Thanks all for the quick reply. As for you, Hostilis, I am folowing only a basic idea of four "feet"- the steps leading to the cylindrical center- placed in a cross configuration rotated about the central cylinder. I do intend for the center to be greater in diameter as well as to have multiple floors. I use the UDK(unreal… -
Re: MW3 + Skyrim Artist talks on Reddit

Re: The Paying To Work For Free VFX Business Model

As someone who voluntarily moved here to escape the police state tactics and (so I thought) unprecedented… -
Re: Im a 3d artist that wants to be a 2d artist and need advice!
There are no magic things. Any traditional art training is very unspecific, extensive and slow advancing. It may take decades actually .Some people do it quicker and easier not because of proper training but rather natural born ability. Only way to learn is to draw something every day.

Re: Mecha Construction - Basics
Finished roughing out the arm n gun after an hour of goofing. Also quickly fixed the toe. Gonna start working down the arm and detailing it. Need to build hands. On the hands I was thinking since it looks very jointed, squares for the main joints connected by smaller squares then I can detail them further. I am not gonna… -
Re: With or without orthographic modeling
at a studio you are expected to model from anything and everything. to be a accurate modeler you have to be able to visualize the form in your mind without extensive help from multiple reference materials. either way, having ortho reference doesnt mean you should use it. in almost all of the projects where my client… -
Re: Hand painted wood practice
Definitely. You'll find the more you paint the easier that direction is to feel out and comes more quickly. And to an extent this will carry over to different material types. It wont take as long to nail the next material as it did the one before and so on. As far as crits: If this was going simulate layered siding on a…
