Re: Letzte Worte VR
Hi everyone, I have decided to share my knowledge about material Layering. I finished my master's degree of Digital Arts. The topic of my thesis was: "Defining Design Patterns for Pattern Based Material Layering in Real-Time Engines". As most of my personal experiences come from the project "Letzte Worte VR", which was… -
Re: Planning to buy a cintiq touch ...advices?
My opinion Buy the 22 without touch and forget painting on your lap with it (theyre very heavy) Companion wise.... The android one will be massively frustrating because it cant run any decent apps and will end up on your desk with you wishing youd just bought a standard 13 If you want mobile sketching I suggest you buy a… -
Re: etipuette of commissioning artist
Hey there. I had a short stint as a freelance artist (although I was producing stills rather than assets). A couple of points that might help: Set out the standard of work that you require, this can come from assets pics that you provide or from the artists portfolio/site. Ask for regular updates - this can be pics of the… -
Re: to sculpt or not to sculpt
ysalex - I am not totally cutting out zbrush, because even with some of the stylised stuff I did, I quickly sculpted out the creases near the elbows/shoulders and quickly retopod that area only.

Re: I HAVE PROBLEM WITH TEXTURE!!!
You see, the problem with us humans is we conceptualize based on the big picture, not particular details. We are awful at remembering the minute.

Re: Thinking about new software.
I thought the modeling and texturing tools were great (especially post 7.5, once they began to include the new unwrap plugin). There are quite a bit of games that use it, heavy hitters too. It's just not that common for North American developers. Capcom has put it to great use (the Resident Evil series, new Street… -
Re: How to get yourself a job in the games industry
Ceebee, i think the big distinction to be made there, is that valve both make and publish their own games, they had the foresight to think that digital distribution would be the way forward, and made steam as their platform for distributing their own content. this gave them the flexibility to say "we make what we want to… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge August 2014 (22)
xChris: There is no single good advice that magically makes a scene beatufiful, rather there are lots of good features in the engines and the more you use and use properly the better the scene will be. If you really want to simplify it I would say the most important thing is to have really good assets with good bakes and… -
Re: portfolio sites
I also +1 to artstation, as it is also another easy way for people to stumble across your work and help get you some exposure. It is a win/win, as it is also a pretty popular digital art viewing platform now. I personally spend a good amount of time on the site each week for inspiration and to study work. I personally use…
