Re: Practicing hand painted stuff. Please critique!
Just made a cart. Will not be doing any for the next three days as I am working. -
Re: VR Headset - Which one is the best ?
It depends on what features are most important to you, and which problems bug you. From most reviews I've seen everyone agrees what the Valve index gives the best overall experience. But it is also very costly and uses lighthouse tracking (2.0) which you don't like. Check some comparison charts and decide what works for… -
Re: SHRIKE - Character Creation
Yesss, I was wondering how this piece was coming! The texture pass looks good! How dark is that base color black though? It looks very dark and maybe that's intentional -- but if you're sticking to what's technically PBR correct you'll probably want to use a value like 0.8 or 0.9 or something, so that you can get a true… -
Re: Bradford Smith Substance Sketchbook
@xChris These are there to serve as a point of reference, and are mostly useful when evaluating the material response as the incident lighting changes. The chrome is of course a bright, fully metallic reflection of the scene; the gray diffuse ball shows the exposure and diffuse lighting information (contrast ratios across… -
Re: Sci-Fi Assault Rifle
Granted, but most of the UK charts fall into both of those descriptions for myself, but evidently my opinions aren't shared by the music buying masses. In fact, in my opinion a large portion of entertainment media is crap. But that doesn't mean that the people making it are responsible. I'm pretty sure that the cameramen… -
Re: What to improve and on what to focus next?
@lotet thank you very much for giving me a bit of your time and feedback. Haha, I actually agree mostly with your chart. I have given the past couple of years to learn 3d game art pipelines and I have left my drawing on the side. Now in order to improve my work, I want to improve on all of those aspects so I would be able… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
Yes, this. 3d artists get into a tools and tricks mindset far too much, I think. Moving some wires around or whatever is great, and can improve a piece, but when an artist is looking to develop, they need direction and then to just put in hours and study. This goes back to the 'critique by skill level' charts that seem to… -
Re: Licensing Issues With Firearm Models?
I'm surprised it's so loose. But then do they have to license them in movies? I can see the grey area is quite wide in this respect. I was thinking of switching from fantasy RPG to something a little easier like a sci-fi shooter. No character charts, massive inventories, save games... all that fun stuff that UDK makes so… -
Re: Death of THQ?
I'm just curious, where do you find these charts? Because it can still be cracked, why spend money designing something like battle:net but for singelplayer games when it will do no good against piracy and only hurt the customers, I mean we all know how it went for Ubisoft and their always online DRM. Just take Blizzards… -
Re: Export Materials from Max to Source Game Engine
Just getting back into level design and learning 3ds Max :P Unfortunately, I missed an important thing in the video above: that you can't use $envmapmask and $bumpmap at the same time. I had intended on demonstrating how to transfer the Specular Level map into the alpha of Bump, Diffuse or Self-Illumination... but it…
