Re: Giving talks and providing good feedback (face to face).
Definitely shit sandwich it. Start with something you like, say the negatives, then end with something you like, or reinforce what you liked earlier. It also depends on how far along in the schooling they are. First years, I try to give more general tips. Work on Silhouette. Your work needs more overlap or other animation… -
Re: Business Card Issues....
I think that a complete artist should have a knowledge of graphic design, but the problem is that it takes a while to become proficient and avoid mistakes. If you give this card to an art director, which should know a bit on what makes something visually appealing, he'll only notice your graphic design skills, which aren't… -

Re: [WIP] Roman Gladiator
You hand topo is pretty messed up atm, and now that I check you have some other problem areas too. The elbows do not have enough geometry in them, nor do the wrist, and the helmet has WAY too much geometry on the sides. with 10,000 tris you can get a lot more detail where it matters, such as points of deformation and areas… -
Re: Transition from programmer to 3D artist
I was straight out of school "working on my portfolio", when I got hired for my first industry job. My skill level at the time was pitiful compared to the student work I see nowadays. I could model, layout UVs, paint textures, and animate all at a basic level. This didn't matter so much though as the company I was working… -
Re: UDK APEX destructible project WIP
Sorry man, we did kinda hijack your thread. :( 1) Lighting seems decent enough. Basically it's just good ol' dynamic shadows and light environments, right? Lightmaps really aren't an issue so I don't see much room for improvment. 2) Your scene could possibly use some colour. Try some ancient, faded paint. Theres plent of… -
Re: Jay's Portfolio
As far as the portfolio site itself, I found the little pop-up speech bubbles on each thumbnail really annoying. It might just be me, but they were a little distracting, as tey popped up every time I even slightly brushed over a thumbnail. The other issue is, looking just at the site without reading your post here, one… -

I tried to arrange all the pieces so that it matched the concept but it didnt look so good in a 3d space. So instead I arranged things so that it would have a… -
Re: (POLYCOUNT RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017 - ILLUSTRATION) Aurelion Sol
Reply by TinyTRex · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - IllustrationI decided to start drafting more poses and layouts digitally. Wasn't really satisfied or happy with anything and I was still struggling with making macro decisions about the piece and even envisioning it myself properly. (Considerations) This was unacceptable as splash art. This was more acceptable but it felt...meh? And I… -
Re: UDK --> tessellation
k, here she blows. Figure A shows my UV layout. I chose to detach the top and bottom of the cylinder for this test instead of attaching one of the edges. Figure B shows the highres object on the left, and the lowres on the right. My goal was to displace the lowres object so I would have nice beveled edges and a smooth…
