Re: Unlimited Detail
Yeah totally agree, when we get to environment stuff it gets a lot more fuzzy. You could probably do some really clever stuff with a modular type setup, but this is going to eat up a lot more memory than a modular setup where extra pieces are essentially free, and the texture usage(for the whole set) is fixed. You could… -
Re: 3D Art - Whats your story?
What? I'm not enough woman for you!? I studied graphic design at college, using a very early version of Photoshop/illustrator. Got a job doing web design. Started "making" music, using a DOS sequencer called FastTracker II. Found Truespace 2 on a magazine coverdisk and got into messing about with 3D. Then got hold of 3DS… -
Re: Are you in the game industry? Are you in China? Please halp me =)
you will be paid in the finders fee that is 2% of what your kidneys and liver are worth... and perhaps a lung. In animation it wasn't uncommon for outsourcing studios to hire experienced (or even semi experienced ) workers to use as leads and supervisors to try and shore up the local labor. If they are willing to pay your… -
Re: Hardware purchase query
I cant believe the enforcing of mac-usage in university either. OCAD _does_ give licensed Creative Suite software, mac specific, and fonts [also mac specific]. I don't understand the PC-hate. Macs and i have a past of hating each other as well [i've lost 32 gigs of data thanks to them] but 'what can you do' right? I've… -
Re: First time poster
rofl welcome to polycount. everyone comes here for masochistic reasons. you make art, get your be-hymen torn up and grow thicker skin. Art is personally originality. The test is made to see if you can hit a spec. Most people do this and loose that spark in the art, and we get flooded with art tests. It's a boring, very… -
Re: School Hallway - WIP
Coool hallway so far! Regarding your wall concerns: Perhaps it doesn't look right because everything else (epecially your floors) are completely annihilated, and the walls look newly built. Whatever catastrophe ran through this hallway should leave some major cracks, small chunks missing, maybe even a whole section of… -
Re: Environment/landscape 2D books/resources help
I know what you mean with most people really focused on character art finding good books on landscape art is quite a challenge. I wish I knew of some good ones to pass on to you. Loomis does go though quite a bit of perspective, composition, and color theory all of which apply to environment art. Have you gone through all… -
Re: How do character design? ? ?
I'm sorry, but I can't agree with Rooster's sentiment. I don't think inspiration is everything. And I don't think you need to seek out specific inspiration in order to "feed" your imagination. Oh sure, if you want to make a character that looks like they come from an Incan culture, you would reserach Incan art, and… -
Re: Sketchbook: xysdf
thanks Johny! - I would need to work a bit on my high level detailing ;) , i dont know why i just love to work on shapes so much lately... Have installed Silo this week (great program!) and first thought that came to my mind for a practial training piece was a sculpting-bust for "quick bust sketching" in zbrush where I… -

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You have to admit Oscars really arent the best way to prove the valididty of a director. [/ QUOTE ] I'll admit they don't validate a director as being great, but I think two nominations rules out that director being a hack. It's not like I'm cherry-picking these; both films are AFI Top 100 selections.…
