"serious games" is what would traditionally be known as "simulators". like flight simulators like MS flight simulator, Il-2 sturmovik, DCS, Falcon 4 and rise of flight. Ground combat simulators like ArmA and VBS, and combat missions. naval combat simulators like dangerous waters and silent hunter series. tank simulators…
They are two different concepts. In Zbrush, projecting can be a prerequisite step that might need to be done before you move on to baking the maps. Basically Zbrush is limited in that it won't let you bake texture maps (color, normal, displacement, etc) using two different models. It can only look at a single model/tool at…
so from my understanding. physically (unbiased) rendering engines generally are a bit easier to operate ? since its rendering is based off of calculated light pathing - though it gives the user less control compared to the biased engines... and in general, takes longer to render a product. while the biased engines allows…
non replies are the default. Usually the options for your application are toss (pick some bad/mediocre art from deviantart and you know those applications)/ file / forward. Unless a studio is searching desperately for talent, the time till they get back to you is a month. (my personal record: a rejection post-card from…
try not to fall into the trap of thinking modern guns are "boxy" or easy to model, here's some ideas... Pistols are all about back-end detail as kimono pointed out. You'll never find something that looks mechanically the same as what you have there - the hammer couldn't operate and seeing pistols modelled like that looks…
thankyou butperhaps I should quickly explain my usual workflow ... 1 I model a low poly mesh , barely resemblng what I need to do in 3dsmax, then I export the Obj and Import it in Zbrush , I sculpt it all and then I export the HP and the LP versions of the zbrush levels ... I reimport the LP version exported by Zbrush and…
Hey guys thanks again, it looks like my portfolio is quiet popular with all the traffic I'm getting in last days :) soulstice I'm usually fitting my low-poly model into hipoly, sometimes the opposite way. I'm creating a new lowpoly model, and very rare use some of my hi-poly parts to create lowpoly model. Hope that helps…
Hy, first of all I'd like to mention I'm not a 3D specialist but no means so I'll just talk about the color/texture. First thing I notice is the fact that the stones on the well are too small. Blizzard has a tendency to use large bricks in their enviros. The color scheme is much more saturated than what you used, with a…
http://www.wattsatelier.com/home.html These guys are using charcoal [pencils],not charcoal sticks....pencils with charcoal. However, Watts Atelier emphasizes holding your charcoal pencil differently then when you hold a regular pencil to write with, so there's still a technique involved.

okay here is the official version Hey, fellow artists! There's a topic that's on everyone's mind this week. We're saddened, worried and dismayed by the news and footage that reaches us from the Ukraine, and we're anxiously reading reports from friends and peers who live or have family there, fearing for their safety and…
