Re: Dota 2 Monthly Community 'Noob' Challenge - March 2014
This is a cool idea however. It should be on main topic, but not something about dota, just the "create a weapon/props" with this silhouette part. We already have character and environment monthly, but the environment is 90% of the time Sc FI and photo realistic, which is boring for lot of people. A simple "Silhouette prop… -
Re: How healthy is the MOD scene these days?
Using UDK to build an environment or have your latest character stand around in is a cool option these days for showing off your portfolio. Its great for teams to indeed make an indie project that can make some real cash. But for the more casual folks wanting to make a new map or creature in something more established is… -
Re: [Portfolio] Shawn Sieben Level Designer
The site presents itself more like an art portfolio, but I doubt visitors will bother to click through many of the images once they realize it's UT2004 art. I would definitely create some diagrams to show how the level design works. Show the intended flow, choke points, pickups, sniper spots, etc. and add some brief notes… -
Re: Coming out of final year - Portfolio
To be an environment artist you dont necessarily need to have full environments, but you need to at least be able to show that you can work on the grid creating modular highly reusable pieces. As long as you have something that conveys that, the rest can be props. Full environments are just so employers know your skill set… -
Re: Hand Painted Face -Critique Needed
Heya, One very, very important thing to remember when doing lowpoly stuff is that you can always edit the UVs while working on the texture. Especially at such low polycounts, its crucial. If a circle on your texture looks way stretched on the model, edit the UVs, not the texture. If for some reason you are working from… -
Re: to sculpt or not to sculpt
well i get your point ysalex, it may be fast for you to sculpt a pair of trousers for example, but it isn't that fast when you have to finalise it ie call it done. much harder to get to that stage in zbrush I think( plus you have to retopo the bugger). with sub d I never intended to try and build realistic cloth with it,… -
Re: Senior Student Portfolio Critique
rino: Oh yeah I'm not blaming him, and meant no disrespect. I realize it's still up to me to make the model the best it can be, just that given my current skills, I probably rely more heavily on the concept than I should when I should be exercising more of my creativity. :) Well that's an interesting way of looking at the… -
Re: Gears of War 3 - Textures
Awwwww yea! Moosy making my mechy bittles look good! For the weapons and vehicles I really focused more on giving Maury a clean unwrap versus baking tons of crazy detail stuff into the process files. I knew he would go sick and do stuff with the textures and crazy bump in 1/10th the time I could do in zbrush - plus it gave… -
Re: BeardedMike’s Long Term Project Thread [UE4 Cinematic]
I almost wonder If I should start separate threads for this stuff.... just trying not to be obnoxious :) Just don't seem to be getting any traffic.... I had a few hours today to think about and block out the back of the helicopter that will serve as the environment for my cinematic and I could use a little bit of early… -
Re: Learning handpainted textures
Recently did an art test doing hand painted textures and here are a few things i noticed learning hand painted textures myself: -Lighting is very important, since hand painted textures generally go in games that don't use normal mapping, high poly counts, or even specs, it's important to paint in the illusion of depth, and…
