I am facing a strange dilemma. I want to learn to make awesome 3D environment art. Have been told that it is more important to learn and master art fundamentals (like shapes value and color) than to learn the technical side of things. It is more important to learn how to think. Knowing things such as game design theory,…
The time has come where I finally post my portfolio. Just a little background, someone was concerned about how I was progressing in game art. I promised him/her that I would show that I'm serious about getting into the game industry and thus I would have a portfolio by the end of the last year. Anyway, I've applied to 2…
Hello guys, So I was modeling this floating island. I already put some trees on it (temporary , juste duplicated some trees to see what was going on) and waterfalls. There will be clouds on the left and some other little island behind (i got you a pic of my reference !). But, I would like to not make a replica of the…
Hello, I've been working on a character from a design by Peter de Seve, the Duchess of Whimsy, and I really have no idea how I should do the plume thingy on the top of her head. I figured I would just do it in Zbrush then bring it into Maya but that was before I learnt about the need to retopologize, and considering I…

(mouse gestures > faster workflow). but to make a stroke do something i want it to do, i need the action assigned to a shortcut key (which i can then prompt from strokeit). So i need a little script that i can…

The concept is by Maxwell Davenport https://suburbbum.deviantart.com/art/Blades-01-360511203 In the tutorial Tyson stresses getting the proper values down first and I have very little experience painting in lighting.…
I thought I'd post some thoughts here, since I've been feeling sort of professionally lost, down and out of late, so bear with me as I toss out some thoughts. I have some questions intermixed with my thoughts, I'll try to bold them so you guys can find them, if you feel like offering some input. I've been feeling that my…

This is my rant ... my rant about how Vista has screwed me over for the last time. (this is going to be very long) I'm a game art student at Fort Lauderdale ... so I am heavily dependent on my desktop PC to function properly and most efficiently. SO when I got my new bitching awesome computer, I figured I should use vista…
