Re: Artist habits
Some stuff I do -Make the materials/shader of my model ahead of time, without a working asset to test it on (lets face it, creating a Cloth shader for a sphere is one thing, but a beaten up, patched vest with several maps to drive the looks of several parameters is another). -Start at the end of the project instead of the… -
Re: First portfolio - got some questions before I start
I made the mistake of mixing env and character stuff when applying as env artist - in the end I got hired as character artist (actually that's what I wanted to do but I didn't see an opening when I applied) ;) Just saying, good art is good art and if it's really good I would put it on the folio regardless. The only thing… -
Re: Mazda RX-7
Sorry I don't post here often.. just lurk. You're modeling my car though so that's awesome I was talking about this part. I guess I held off until now because I wasn't sure if it was the actual shape or just how you had it smoothed. I figured I'd just bring it up since I'm throwing crits in at the end that should have been… -
Time to slaughter some ORKS!! Heading to Relic :D
Hey guys, I just inked the deal with Relic yesterday to go work on Space Marine starting in August, right after my contract here at United Front ends.

Re: What should be in your portfolio?
Speaking as someone who has been looking for "that job" for six years now I have a few thoughts/questions on the topic: I ended up going back to school and recently getting a graphic design degree (backup plan) so my main portfolio is a squarespace page with graphic design, general 3d art (character, environment, car,… -

Re: PBR grass vs asphalt albedo/base color value?
Measured reflectance is what some charts will base their numbers on. There was a nice guide Unity published awhile back about what sRGB value to use for the darkest black, and their number was around 30/255. But as mentioned, these are only rough guides, starting places, you have to eyeball it in the end, relative to the… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto V
leaks may be good. I had good expectations for the pc version, but right now are ZERO. It's quite hard to buy games nowadays, some game companies act worse than politicians. They just sell vaporware and too many lies and fake screenshots/graphical downgrades. I don't understand why they don't want early reviews on the… -

Re: Sketchbook: Ferg
Thanks Slum I'm using the "standard" moleskine size... think it's like 5 inches by 8 inches or so. Perfect size for me. You're right about the compliment of the bic pen on the yellow pages... it's like they were designed to be used together. Here's some poop from the last couple nights... dunno if I'm gonna finish the…
