These are my opinions: The quality of your portfolio is all over the place. When you're an entry artist you shouldn't have any WIPs in there, which includes unfinished work. You're only as strong as your weakest piece is something commonly said here. Art that looks like it took a day to make also shouldn't be in your…
Round 3… skyline5gtrI recently had an interview with a company who I did not hear back from initially. A week later a got a response asking me a question which I answered but again I have still heard nothing in return to the follow up question i sent. I tried sending a basic email asking what the status of my application…
It depends on what you modeled to tell you your next step. Since you made a high poly, that means you probably are going to have unique UVs. The next step would be to make a low poly. That can be done a few ways. Either duplicate the high poly and reduce it by hand or you can just build it from scratch. Whichever is…
After reading all the furor, and seeing before and after shots of the "fix", I decided to skip it and stick to the standard release. I've played through the game before on console, and this is maybe a sort of crazy notion, but super-crisp high-res graphics just wouldn't seem to fit the mood of the game. It strikes me as…
At first I wasnt going to enter the 2015 iClone Animation Contest because, to be honest, I didnt fully understand the rules and requirements. I havent played a video game in six years so I felt left behind there. But after watching submitted videos and realizing there was (I think) a 1-minute movie category, I decided I…
My constructive criticism: I saw your original 2D art thread a while ago and though it looked fine. People were critiquing a lot of stupid things in my opinion. I though it looked interesting. I even skimmed this seeing some negative stuff here and there and I thought the artwork looks cool, so I went back and re-read. I…
Yes sir! First of all, read Ben Cloward's site, www.bencloward.com . Then, get a copy of ShaderFX for 3dsmax to fool around in, or alternatively you could probably mess around in the UE3 shader node tool. But I would recommend ShaderFX. This will allow you to get the hang of building shaders without actually coding and you…
PS3 sounds awesome and with Devil May Cry 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 im sure i'll be buying one ______________________________________________________ Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also…
I recommend using more reference for your textures, and also relying less on photo-sourcing for the time being. If you learn to paint a good diffuse texture in PS, you'll be able to incorporate parts of photos much more effectively (and have less of a need to). Right now, those textures look like they've got a bunch of…
Sorry. we have been getting so wrapped up in the game that it slipped our minds. Our game is going to be an FPS with sneaking elements to it. It's going to take place in the present day or near future and is based off of events around the war on Terrorism, but has no real connection to anything that is going on. This takes…
