Re: First Post Here! I met some of you at GDC!
Hey Fisguard, I absolutely love this scene. Your composition, detail, and overall moodiness ability is well showcased. I am new to digital painting, so take my critique with a grain of salt. Your ability to take rough paint strokes to create forms and moods is absolutely astounding, I haven't seen a piece quite like it in… -
Re: Prisma Palette: Light based Photoshop picker plugin.
This is super cool. I bought this when it first came out because it was so neat but I'm just now getting around to trying it. I'm using Beta 4. But beta 4 looks different than your tutorial on your website so I'm a little confused on how stuff is set up. Do you have documentation for it? The use of icons over text adds to… -
Re: Dilema: Don't know where to start
lol, You know the first time I opened a 3d modeling software back than it was just Maya PLE. I just sat there and looked at the screen, kept on thinking where to begin. I was that confused. But later on it wasnt that difficult to figure things out. All I needed was an idea, which was a rusty room, filled with music… -
Re: Zbrush Alphas from 3D Scans - New gallery site
This is great feedback, thanks everyone! Seirei and Orangeknight - In some ways I think of surfacemimic as the cgtextures of 3d scans, but I'm not competing with them directly. I debated a lot with artist friends over the business model, but ultimately came to the conclusion that because its so niche, there isn't going to… -
Re: boys with toys - girls too, it just doesn't rhyme
pic's might be more enticing then a link to a rar file. I like it a lot, the legs/boots are great! Crits: - Providing the model in .obj format will let more people play with it in different 3D apps. - Unwrap the model and providing sample templates will get people rolling quicker. - Reset your material editor and only show… -
Re: Schooling/Education/College Help :(
Find an inexpensive community college nearby and study art basics. Don't pay out the ass just to learn art basics somewhere. I'd try to avoid 30K in debt if possible. I'm not sure of the prices now, but art basics courses at a community college could be ~$400-600, which is much better vs. 30k. Use polycount or other… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Chat
UPDATE: Things you may not know list:* If you wheel spin for ages you back tires explode. * If you drive through fire (molotov) your wheels catch on fire and your tires will eventually pop then too. * You can bump into people running from cops and help them be arrested. * You can stand on people once they have been knocked… -
Re: Looking to buy a new prebuilt pc suggestions?
My thoughts: 1. win XP 32 is almost dead(near complete EoL). On the other hand it cannot support more than 3,5Gb of RAM(with dirty tricks). x64 is superior in all the aspects. Vista also offers DX10 and video memory virtualization(which is VERY important when dealing with big meshes... and xp64 cannot do this). Some shops… -
Re: donate excess talent here...
Pretty cool stuff, I like your ideas. Here's some technical stuff I noticed that you should pay more attention to next time you're drawing: 1st image - the perspective seems a little off across the whole image, slightly bendy. there's no obvious light source, the shadows are all very blurry and unrefined, with no real… -
Re: E3 Highs / Lows and Views!
[ QUOTE ] Its nice to see companies art direction use normal maps better, barley any plastic figures running around! For anyone who attended I'm curious to hear your views! [/ QUOTE ] As an aside, normal maps really aren't the perpetrator of plastic looking characters, its poor implementation of specular shaders that are…
