Thanks guys. Yeah I am just kind of trying to convince myself to put some effort into this as I have a hunch it may be worth the effort. Cool to hear what kind of stuff is possible, even though programming is pretty daunting to me. What you mention @throttlekitty about making tweaks to many characters all at once is…
No, I forgot to change the brightness. I didn't even know you could do that in color.adobe.com, but it's possible. Changing brightness (so you have a cool dark end and a warm bright end), you can get this: But to get back on what you were talking about, when you ask "how to unify the temperature (or the physical location…
just look for maya tutorials, none of the modeling tools are different. they may be moved around a bit but they are named the same. ultimately the software you use should be what you are comfortable with using. I personally have never seen the appeal of blender other than the fact that is free. but I just typed "maya Lt…
Most people don't play games for forty hours straight. And those that do certainly have preexisting issues that lead to such behavior. If the person in question had been into hard drugs and died from that, no one would create a media circus around it. However, video games are still considered a "toy" for children. Thus,…
I think you can have both a job making games and work at a place where you are compensated for your time, and get to work reasonable hours. You just have to find the right place. I'm willing to work late here or there, or come in on a weekend once in awhile, but 80 hour weeks? Sleeping under the desk? That is fucking nuts.…
Your words. You are saying 99% of the Art in the world can be judged, because it is supposed to have a purpose. only debating what you are trying to sell. That sentence and the next 3 paragraphs, you are trying to impose a commercial workflow and critique onto 99% of all Art. This is only art history 101.. really basic…
I read this. Then looked at the studios work. Kinda made me look at his article in a different light after that. Also the semi-attack on environment art and env artists hide because they can't do characters or however he worded it is a total douchebag thing to say. Perhaps a long time ago characters were the bread and…
This, 100%. I see a lot of people around me quietly shelving their ambitions of career advancement or breaking out on their own, and just holding on to what they have and hoping to weather the storm. Its going to be even tougher for those trying to get their first gig in the industry, competing against out of work seniors.
Yo people ! Hope having good days with great art ! I just had a crazy idea and wanted to see what the reaction would be. How about a one-of Character Art Challenge of Natalia Poklonskaya ? If you don't know who is she or what the hell I am talking about here you go :…
I'm working on a "remaster" of an old-school dungeon crawler called "Dragon Bane 2" as a personal project. The development is completed, but needs upgraded, static 3D models for two wall sets -- a town and a dungeon. The game can be played in either 2D mode or 3D mode, and the 2D artwork is completed, so the 3D art…
