So I was about to start brushing wood stain on our fence and I noticed...there's no strong contrasty shadows and highlights on the wood panels. These pics were taken noontime, facing south but in the shade and the sun was about 75-80 degrees above (we're closer to the north pole than the equator). Only used an iphone. No…
Nice! 2 comments though. Maya LT has no poly limit for game artists, and that is a huge deal to me. I know, I have complained loudly about this before... just sad to see the 100K limit is still there, because I feel it is behind the times, especially with Modo now exporting instances and replicators to FBX and Unity and…
I'm a big fan of the minimalistic look, personally, and the circuit pattern is much more evocative of engineer than artist, but if you want to keep it I would suggest darkening/lowering the saturation of the circuits, they're the most prominent part of your business card when it should be your name and info. Personally I'd…
I've been trying to learn to model for the past few weeks now. I've had some minor success, but nothing I like. I have two problems I was hoping to get help with. 1. What's the best modeling program, both in general and for a beginner? I've been using 3DS Max, but I've seen videos on blender that seem pretty easy to do, so…
I don't want to come off as a crass neanderthal, but most of the novels that I have read throughout my life seem to have been either too dull or too serious. I never seem to relate to these characters who are almost always too "real" in a sense, even in the fantasy or sci-fi themed it feels more of an escape than an actual…
can I? is it realistic? or am I much better off being an environment artist? I think making environments are boring, I'd much rather do mechanical, props, robots, guns, vehicles. I've been doing some freelance so far but the pay is extreamly low. Do I have to go get a degree in design or photography? or can I just continue…
Starting to get somewhere with the Sewer environment. I sculpted the fan and made a stone wall tileable in Zbrush and set up world aligned textures to avoid weird seams. Also sculpted/textured some mud piles for the ground, but I think I'll edit these since they look very low poly when i actually put them in lol. I can't…
hey i was just wondering the best way to practice 2d skills. obviously drawing is important but is it just as good and perhaps better to do photoshop painting instead. it forces you to deal with colors as well and blending/shading more thoroughly. It also may make more sense since the colors and painting practice will help…
We have just announced the new Sketchfast competition for over the weekend. You have from August 30th until September 2nd (EST). The task is really straightforward: we want to see what you can do with our browser-based sculpting tool, Sculptfab . There's no theme, just sculpt something awesome! Prizes include a 3D print of…
