Re: Does a good 3D Artist need to be a good 2D Artist?
Hey everyone has to start somewhere, those are both better than a lot of my early attempts. You recognize you have a ways to go, and that's all that matters. Once you lose the drive to learn is when you should be worried. Complacency is a quick road to mediocrity. I should probably format this better, but here's some tips… -
Re: Junk hero, original concept and model
Right off the bat the character sort of looks like an infantryman/pilot from the PS3 game Warhawk. Watch your proportions especially on the arms. If this character is supposed to be strong but slow (movement-wise), you're moving in the right direction. If this character is supposed to be strong yet quick, you may want to… -
Re: Sonic Boom Art Dump
Thanks everyone! Truly means a lot. :) @Ged: The easiest method was to just come up with a shared library/kits we could all use to rapidly populate areas of the game. From large blockout pieces, to more final assets that would be used to setdress the levels. These were then tweaked and fitted to whichever level they were… -
Re: EA CEO John Riccitiello says the 4-5 year console cycle is dead
[ame] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtHzLt3C_z0[/ame] I hope that John Riccitiello has a good sense of humour. Otherwise, here go my chances of ever working for an EA owned studio :poly122: Jokes aside, he has a point. Console generations are probably gone, or at least, they won't have such a big impact on the industry… -
Re: iPad - recommended apps?
1. My favourite is procreate, it's made for multitouch ipad only and has lots of innovative features and a cool brush engine. Combined with an Adonit Jot touch 4 (guess not compatible with ipad 2) it's real fun and receives serious updates time by time. Export to i.e. psd is possible via email or dropbox. 2. Sketch Club… -
Re: A Question for You Designers...
[ QUOTE ] Am I the only one who thinks normal-mapping looks like ass? [/ QUOTE ] I think the highlights and shadows created by normalmaps look aweful on certain assets that aren't made to resemble metal, think shiny plastic trees. But highlights and shadow are how you show detail right? I used ORB to create normal maps for… -
Re: Windows xp 64 or Vista for 3D apps?
I have used windows xp64 for a year now and I haven't had a single real problem with it yet. Only thing really, is that there are no drivers for older peripheral devices like my scanner and my mobile phone which I connect to my older rig. But this problem is obviously the same for Vista 64. If you only have one computer… -
Re: Blizzard Review
Brad : this Uv transfer thing has been available in Max and Maya for a couple years now, it's a bit sad that many users don't know about it (even at pro level) To reiterate what Podman pointed out : So let's say you have an object with messy UVs, let's call it objectA. Make a copy of this mesh, called objectB, and give it… -
Re: Asus Eee Slate
I got an le1600 from motion computing. It's slow hardware wise, 1.5gb ram, 1.3 ghz single cpu. I got windows 7, Photoshop cs4, and zbrush 4 on it. All of which work just fine. The only problems I've had are setting up shorcuts with the buttons on the side, since apparently you can't assign the SHIFT key to a button alone,… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Benjamin Turner
Thanks a lot for the input guys. I really appreciate you stopping by and taking a minute to look. iva : Jungle is up. Button #2 though. :\ kp : http://benturner.net/iheartkp.htm I'm officially the guy with the retardedly long buttons. I'm gonna start working on a more interesting design here pretty soon. All of my buttons…
