Re: [Portfolio] Dvolution/Jordan Ewing- Polycount Newb
I feel like a lot of your work is either unfinished or just needed 3 more weeks on it to add more details and fluff. Your Cathedral is nice, but how is that gona translate well into a game? If its not for a game, but cinematic, then why is the rest of your work around game are quality? I noticed immediately that your… -
Re: Bill Maher: Stand up for the 70% of Americans who aren't crazy
It's disturbing how much is ignored by news media. Media has a long neglected responsibility to inform the population on the events of the world which has long since taken a back seat to biased information being presented as 100% fact. If it's not being mentioned constantly by popular media, we end up forgetting things… -
Re: Tooth Fairy Box Prop_WIP
All right....so I am pretty much calling this prop done as far as Maya and Photoshop are concerned. Next step is getting it into UNREAL 3 and playing with some post effects, lighting, ect. and then developing the final layout for my portfolio. So any advice/links or info on that would be SWEET. Butt - I tried to redo the… -

Re: UT3 & Gears Environment Art
Couple Necris pieces - Trims Roof A Liandri piece - Ion Cannon The Ion cannon was a big deal for me, it was early on in UT3's production and this was the first piece I made that I didn't think was a bit crap. I think I found my building style for the set with this piece, usually its the case for me that the first couple of… -
Re: Looking for Some Tough Love
Web page design and resume aside... I would work on creating more finished work, full fledged environments with lighting and composition. Your textures could use a lot more love, really get in there and work the details. Look up other artists texture flats and see the detail that goes into them, and try to get to that… -
Re: Baking Artifacts (90 degrees on curved edges) - Help me understand proper high-low modelling
Thanks for the advice gnoop! Went and looked into Blender's bevel shader, baked it into a normal map, then imported said map to Substance Painter: It's not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot cleaner than the others. I could hide whats left of the artifacts with dirt or grunge. Although the artifacts become more apparent… -
Re: Trim sheets. How to use them?
Darth, I was having the exact same dilemma yesterday. I was running up against the issue that all the Trim Sheet tutorials explain how to create a trimsheet and then how you can use the trim sheet to create assets. But I was looking for a process to create the assets first and the trim sheet second. This seemed more… -
Re: [WIP] Cyro Game Environment
I think a polish phase will help you more than doing a breakdown. Breakdowns are for juniors to show that they are familiar with the tools and procesess or for more experienced people, to show a different process from the ones that are established. And its clear that you are proficient with the tools and know the procesess… -
Re: Some artist's using metallic values in painted metal for guns?
In the context of PBR texturing (with the metalness workflow) the phosphate coatings aren't pure metals but they can have visual properties similar to metals so they'd fall into the metalloid category. A lot of stuff is still approximate and there can be contextual differences so it's important to experiment with your…
