well, about as serious as anyone else on this page. gunpowder weapons are around 900 years old or older, first taken into usage by the chinese. i'd still like to see some schematics showing the positioning of different components in the interior of the vehicle, and some basic information of the sensory capabilities. and…
i bet that spidey will realise that he is an eunuch because it got ripped of without noticing on his last fight against a junkie. Also he will have to go back in time to join the chinese emperor ( or was japanese ? ) eunuch aids ! no seriously there are some decent spidey stories, but 80% is money filler imo. I get pissed…
+1 20days up woukd be one mighty complex character, though "nextgen" (as in ps4 xbone) realistic characters can ge quite complex pretty easy and usually start at around 3 working weeks (15 days). those 50$ a day rates spund like pure horrorstories? usually even eastern european and asian outsource studios start at 200$ per…
Most people in my studio just speak Chinese. I got a good number of English speakers in my own team though, because as technical artists we just have to understand client supplied specs, support forumns, manuals and what not. In the studio you mostly find foreigners in lead positions, because they bring in skills and…
It is a shame there is no real competition when it comes to the cintiq lineup. I tried the yiynova (cheap chinese knockoff) and sent it back just as fast... I'll stick with the older 20" cintiq I use. You can get those for fairly cheap. Mine was about $1200. The downside is that if the screen goes out Wacom cannot replace…
I have a 13hd and have used it with zbrush. You are grossly exaggerating. There is plenty of room to sculpt and its not that there cant be cintiq alternatives...its just the ones that do exist are bad. Cheap lcd panels, questionable chinese quality, limited type of pen input (too springy) for controlled drawing/sculpting,…
In China we have ads while we take the taxi to work (with audio and video), while we wait for the elevator at work (with audio and video) and finally inside the elevator (also with audio and video). So yeah, damn those ads! (only good thing is they're in Chinese and I don't understand a thing). I wouldn't play a game with…
Great stuff. My critique on kaneda is that he has a pretty European looking head structure, at the moment. His eyes are really the only thing selling him as asian. There's actually a large amount of difference between east asian and western head shapes. I find that a lot of it comes from the brow and cheekbones. Eastern…
I've been working on this character on an off for quite some time now. It started with another amazing head concept made by Cedric Peyravernay for Diablo4, then I made a design for her costume inspired by some traditional Chinese outfits. The staff was made right after the head and I treated it as a separate prop and since…
Hi folks, I wonder if you can help me. I have been thinking on acquiring a Cintiq for 3D Sculpting and after watching a lot of reviews, usually focused on 2D Art, I wanted to ask you: How important do you feel pressure levels to be? What about parallax? Do laminated screens offer any value to 3D users? What about size? I…
