A few have mentioned it already, but I'll parrot it again. VFX may be a perfect transitioning step for you to consider. You have knowledge of Nuke/Aftereffects and camera work already going for you. Use this. You could attain a position as a Matchmover artist, layout artist, animatic artist, then move into compositing...…
Hm I was only arguing your your point that.. I do agree that the painting could be improved and that they should closely look at other competitors. Anyways, to get back on point. I think a good freelance software layout would be.. Blender - I have not actually used it though.. Can someone weigh in on if you can actually…
Update: Okay I am in the process of finding reference for my new approach to the scene I will be working on, so you can discard the very first reference idea. Finding reference for this scene is a bit harder than I expected but it's all apart of the learning process. I am going more for a witch doctor laboratory who…
Thanks @throttlekitty, that's really good advice, and exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. So would it make sense to have all of the different buttons on the same material, and then depending one what color I need the button to be at any given time, I could just swap out meshes or something like that for one…
i'm coming from the old scholl, but i think this looks more difficult then it actually is. for me this looks like a blend map between two materials. snow and rock. probably one uv layout, which was painted and projected on one texture. then there are two base materials rock and snow both tiling textures. you can pu your…
I realised my apartment wont be visually impressive, and in the real world you don't get the option to measure the home to the millimetre. So instead I'm trying to build this: I managed to find 5 layout plans (3 levels, 2 front, 1 side, 1 back) which is slowly allowing me to decypher this absolutely ridiculous house. I…
@Hawk: Thank you, but I understand that it's called modularity. I wasn't looking for help finding the search function :) I've created plenty of modular pieces and trim pieces. What I was looking for help on is the best way to go about baking and creating the corner trim pieces. (LowPoly Layout, AlphaMap Tips, how should I…
hey hey, it's been a while :P Got some time to resume working on this scene once again... Had it abandoned for about a year :( Here is most recent WIP update, as b4 I made a quick vid to describe it, plus few images. Overall I've got major layout with big/mid scale meshes done so far. Now next thing I plan will be bringing…
This is looking good so far. I'm with Mstankow, I'd love to see a JRPG building in a realistic setting and see how well it translates. You picked a great reference too(Airborn) I'm not sure what you mean. Like only applying a material to a certain part of a mesh or only modifying one part of the material in the material…
Jesus, I understand wanting to group like keys together but if they're going to change the layout they may as well just go to the standard QWER Transform bindings that nearly every other piece of 3D software uses. I get they're trying to find a middle ground but I don't think it's necessary, especially when most people use…
