wut? I'm familiar with unity but im not going to like build a game for you. wtf?

>>505978
That looks okay for a template

just click things

blender? borncg

2080 hours was spent on working on a non disclosed project. Full time.
Around 1000 hours of my free-time was invested on new workflows (PBR)
tools : substance painter, designer, ndo, Unreal 4.

For those who seek employment in the game industry. You either sacrifice or become redundant.

I've been trying to get good by putting in 8 hours a day, but I still suck. Maybe I shouldn't focus on character art.

My friend said he was doing 15 hours a day for two years to break in and now he just doing 6 hours extra a day on top of his work.

There are skills that never get old.

Anatomy, composition, color theory.

Develop these and you'll never be redundant

I hope its not like a blizzard developed tool or anyhting.

practice?

it could use some hands and feet

>>504177

and hips.

If the licensing allows it then yes.

>>503878

so I CAN get sued then

If that's the case then, where can I get free texture images like that? the ones that are free for commercial use

>>503872
Just about anyone I know who work 3D for games admits to heavy use of google images for texturing. Especielly for heavy edits where the source wont even be recognizable.

For textures like the one in your Op if you own the texture library, or it is part of a free library; the typical license is for you to use it on your content as you please,
but you may not distribute the texture as part of a texture library - which is where you are more likely to run into trouble.

The odds anyone is gonna come after you if you are a small time nobody is realistically zilch.
If they somehow do you will ofcourse cry crocodile tears about how it was part of a free library handed to you from the internet and then agree to replace it or pay some restorative sum.
But just imagine what is involved in checking and proving if someone uses a texture for their project, and verifying that you're not in the right to do so and file leagal complaints.
If you are a company the cost return of hunting and conducting leagal action against small time single offenders looks like a backslash pointing straight to bankruptcy.

And for them free textures you start by going to every CG artists favorite site: www.cgtextures.com

Keep UV island sizes consistent and minimize seams. I can only make out the head and tongue on that UV map and you will have a hard time getting that mesh to have good textures unless if it's only just solid diffuse colors.

Think of UV unwrapping as skinning an animal.

Show os the model for us to make a fair observation. If it is organic, it is best to keep it in pelt formation like poster said above. If it is man made/mechanical, lots of cuts and islands are usually necessary.

>>505358
make the most out of the UV space and focus on islands that carry the most detail or the detail that will be most visible in your renders. the bigger the islands the more defined is the texture on that island

I use youtubes sound library or freesound uk and the other.

thanks for the tips, anybody else got some?

Anon pls, audio is important.

Well, if it looks like a mess if you look at it zoomed out, then it's not working. Your colors (and values) should break up the motorcycle in an interesting way that helps the design and/or form read. this is design 101 so I don't know where you'd start, start reading up on color theory and reading some design books or something. Concept art books like Skillfull Huntsman are good for this stuff too.

But basically: Your camouflage is adding noise that makes the design hard to read. Your accent colors are kinda all over, there's no unity to them. Your shapes in general when viewed at thumbnail size are too small. I tried to use words you can google if you add "design" to it in google

Its supposed to be floating right? Looks more like a snowmobile atm tbqh senpai. Were you trying to make it look kinda like a dragonfly? I like that, keep working and make it look more like a flying machine and less like a snowmobile.

For the last fucking time, stop trying to flag yourself with a single software like it's your identity or something. Max and Maya are used for different things. Use Max for modelling, especially industrial and architectural modelling, but it's good with spline modelling as well. Use Maya for animating, rigging, skinning and all that. Youtube has all the tuts you need.

>>505976
I *don't* just use a single piece of software, but Maya seems to tick all the boxes that Max does while actually being developed as Autodesk's flagship product while Max seems to be edging it's way towards death so I want to phase it out of my workflow. Easy to understand?

OP is a traitor faggot.

>>505962

I've never been to a 3d school. Self taught myself 3d modeling and rendering since 2007. Now working for an architecture firm as a project designer. I make myself interested in the work that I make to keep going. The resource is endless out there to learn just about anything these days.

Nope.
Software engineering.
I do 3D as a hobby, the industry is incredibly competitive, makes you work a ton and doesn't pay that well. If for some reason I wanted to be part of the industry I can do it from the technical side and get a lot more money for less work.

>>505962
I live in a semi-socialist country, so the city's 3D school was only 600$ a year. Since I passed the entry tests, why not. The teachers are good and are all veterans of the industry.

>>505857
Bump

>>505857
I`ve been looking for those too.
Good luck, mate, I know some japanese company is doing replicas but it costs about 300 dolla

>Working for free
Only the mods do.

why don't you ask them why?
ask the senior animator

>>505073
i asked, the answer was unclear bullshit, im not sure theres even a reason

>>505074
only normals and displacement need to be 32 bit. tell them they are fucking retarded and get a new job. you dont need to work with scrubs

Yes procedural textures still need UVs to know how to cover a mesh. as far as i know models in movies get smoothed at render time.

>>506039
Sometimes they are smoothed. Other times they are modeld to be the highest res needed. Like way more detail in the face than people are used to, fucking tear duct wrinkles and shit. But then low ammount of quads on the chest and back

>>506041
>what is displacement
