Oh, and vice-versa: There is potential money to be made in developing games specifically for companies looking for advertising, but it would probably be less of what you are thinking. IE the game would revolve around say, everything Coke-a-Cola, like controlling one of the coke-a-cola polar bears and running through the…
Nice work- its great, so all thats left is little things to polish it up. May I suggest you tone down the surface noise on the upper part of the concrete - that will make the cracky bit at the bottom pop. Having lots of contrast everywhere takes away a little impact from the peice. Jazz man. The damage is rather smooth…
Ah, thank you for the tips! Here's my second batch of adjustments: I think after this I need to make the judgement call to move on to another project since I can feel that I've been looking at this one for too long, have absorbed all the lessons I think I meaningfully can from it, and have been procrastinating the next…
@ Jessica Dinh - thank you. I had a lot of fun making him @ pior - thank you for dropping by my thread. I think it would be funny to see this guy running around in gears. I see your points with the mechanical design. It's something i struggled with through most of the model. I was definitely inspired by gears of war for…
For the building walls it shows you in the link the actual 2 tiling textures that are blended together. It looks like 2 textures vertex blended with a mask/height lerp to fade between them. Noticiable tiling is well hidden as the vertex color is hand crafted. The drips under the windows are probably a mesh decal placed…
Being an electrical engineer turned professional 3D artist about 8 years ago, I wholeheartedly wish you luck on your professional project to become a professional props artist. This project is very nice. There are two suggestions I would make: 1) Most of your wood beams or plank are warped, and it's a nice part of the look…
that's for sure Isaiah, but I think that's what Baj was saying - the DS/3DS/3DSXL design is totally fine for adults and most kids. But every kid I've known who had a 3ds broke the flip-part because theyre clumsy foos and I imagine the 3d feature makes some parents uneasy when it's plastered with a disclaimer that the 3d…
Oh wow! I'm so suprised and stoked for the positive words and really really excited to try some stuff out to make the grass better. @Poop: Thanks so much for the ideas on how to make better grass, I will get on it asap. @Sterman & Konstruct: You're right. I also like the elegance and simplicity but. . maybe I can add…
Like mentioned that font is rough, I would def look into finding something a little easier on the eyes. I won't try to crit the env stuff, there's plenty of of env guys here who can do a better job at that but that character stuff I would consider just getting rid of. The faces you have just don't have solid structural…
Take a look at the projects section really quick http://hirstarts.com/projects.html I've been up and down this website for the past week totally geeking out about how applicable it is to environment artists. I highly suggest you take a look through it and study how things are constructed, and what parts he uses. Looking…
