Re: [WIP] Aircraft altimeter
Thanks, yeah, I've decided not to follow the reference that much, as it's really a practice piece. For me is more important to learn the workflow and steps. Actually can you guys advice if I'm doing it correct by creating a very low low poly?..or shoud I try to add more bevels to edges and a more consistent wires also.. -
Re: Getting Training For Characters - Reliable Options?
Clothing and shaders you can learn about alongside anatomy. I expect you will be using Marvelous designer for clothing and shaders would start with substance painter for textures. While character creator (the software I recommend) would cover a lot of ground, you could also look into the metahuman workflow.… -
Re: Learning Diary - 30 heads 30 days
I cannot stress enough how bad these x-day challenges really are. If the goal is to learn then one should practice but the fact that you are learning something should be the only challenge. Adding a marathon-like constraint is double the challenge and can interfere with the learning aspect, i.e making and solidifying… -
Re: Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
I don't see blender making any great strides for some time - i think it'll happen but I don't think it'll happen very quickly example reasons that aren't silly - The studio probably has a 15 year old Maya toolset which they don't want to rewrite - I've rattled on at length about DCC agnostic tooling on here in the past -… -
Re: Game Development Student trying to learn more about BP/programming
In my opinion, the main things to understand about Blueprints are: 1) Understand what Gameplay Framework blueprint classes are available, what they do, and what they are supposed to do if you expand their functionality. Everything from Game Mode, Level Blueprint, Pawn, Actor, Controllers, etc.… -
Re: Anyone with an MA in games design / Art?
I don't think it's worth it. First, a game related MA gets you pretty much nothing on the resume. It can be useful, skill-wise, if it's a highly specialized MA. For example VFX, or where you get access to things you don't have at home, like a Mo-cap studio. The second problem is that a mixed MA - game design and art -… -
Re: [Finished] Serpent Cave - Destiny Hive Inspired [Environment]
Update: I’d like to share some progress on my project. 🙂 Things are moving along well, though it’s still very much a work in progress. I’ll be refining the textures, making adjustments to the materials, and continuing to polish the overall project. I’ve also started experimenting with lighting and scene adjustments to push… -
Re: Does skill in penciling really equates to your scale in sculpting?
This discussion comes up quite a bit. I see a lot of people (mostly those interested in doing 3D) asking. "Do I need to be able to draw to be good at 3D art?" TLDR: Yep 2D drawing helps. No, its not essential. I've seen some artists that are 3D Gods (3D sculpting included) with absolutely fantastic 3D art, but when it… -
Re: basic knowledge help
1-high and low poly should have the same siluet. objects view distance also matters. you want to avoid baking artifacts from objects thats closer to the camera. 2-biggest thing i learned was that there are multiple uv maps for a reason. you can uv map the same object for many different reasons. like adding extra details or… -
Re: I currently make 2.5$/hr as a non artist, can i make more with my art?
@Lucaus, you don't necessarily have to adopt a totally new business strategy. If you like to do high quality characters, just break them up into many parts, each part you can consider personal practice, and then sell those as you make them. So like, for Joan of Arc, maybe you make like 10 chest armor peieces, each time…
