Samhell, thanks. 
ZM, thank you. Appreciate the tip, couldn't get a decent result with the displacement map though. I might build a new wall with more detailed blocks. It's a long time project. Still got some more things to add. What are you working on currently?
Started to work on the cat for the barrel piece. The hair particles started to act up though so have to make some changes and then save the.obj file in the internal blender.... Might be a Blender setting not updated yet I assume.....

Is this the 3D render ? The fur (or messed up hair particle whatever) looks so cool ! I though it was a 2D sketch !
I'm working on some little random game during my personnal time (I make a looot of 3D at work, and I don't feel like doing more at home (for now ))

ZM, yep 3d render. Thank you.
This will be my last post in here guys, this time I will not come back to this forum. I feel the forum is going in a direction I can't follow. I have tried to boost up the spirit with continuous posting in here. A place is only as important as the members of it make it, and if we can't make it I can't continue.
Its' been nice to know you all, I've been many years around this place and even as Matthew back in the days.
I will be active over at cgsociety as "whom" so do not hesitate to contact me overthere.

I'm okay with long pauses - I'm getting old? XD
Glad to have an extended break. Finally found a decent audio program (from
people who know what a scroll wheel is for, heh):
Linux MultiMedia Studio
http://lmms.sourceforge.net/
Second video is in the pipeline (vectors/LMMS; sixty second shorts). Likely
animation is next (traditional or 3d, hmmmm...)...
Learning curve now looks like a pretzel - but it's okay!  |

Each time he comes back he has gotten better.
So maybe next time he will have some great masterpiece to show. |

Hey, those rocks are great. Nice sharp edges. I have a hard time with that in Zbrush.

Time for another run at Blender I guess - and look, version 2.70a (April 11,
2014). Doesn't seem right with Whom not around, lol, but let's see...
Interface hasn't changed except for that vertical row of tabs (at left)... Will see
what happens this time...

It's starting to look like a proper interface. Good signs.
Though I'm still stuck on 2.49b because my game's model pipeline is tightly tied into Blender's DirectX export tool, and the DirectX export format changed significantly when it went through the big upgrade.
I'm looking forward to moving on to the new Blender at the end of the project. Or buying Maya if the game sell well enough.

Understood re "stuck" - currently looking for that sweet spot where knife and
render both work (2.63 atm) - it's an art, yep.
=================
Yesterday's 'speedie' (heh): quads and octagons (background and figure)
NB for speedie terrain stuff (two or three mesh), blender is a lot
faster/forgiving than sketchup's "smoove" (or whatever it was) - nice nice. |

Whoa, samhell - where u been. Look who just dropped in out of hyperspace...
U call that "stuck"?
Have stuck around sketchup partly for its very uncluttered interface (and
one-click "fog" (as above)) - but let's see (Blender):
T = Object Tools panel toggle
CTRL + Up/Down Arrows = Maximize current view toggle
That does it (full screen (not to be confused with "full screen", yeah)).
And: http://blendertips.com/hotkeys.html
==============
I think Blender would be easier to learn/less intimidating if, like the gaming
option, they split animation into its own section. Dunno. |

Haha, thank you! It's good to be back!!
Honestly though, I'm ashamed to admit that I just have not
remembered to visit here anymore.  I haven't been doing
speedpaints either for the longest time, so that didn't help.
Luckily, I got back to sketchup a while back and that joggled
my memory in a good way.
Here's another paintover of the same ship. A different technique,
pretty much the only thing I've been doing recently.

O M F G!!
I had to do a double take on the thread before I believed what I
was seeing! And literally, I was going to finish to my previous
post with the line... "Now if only Whom would also come back".
Anyhow, hopefully things have been good. Good to see you again here. |

Thank you!
Here's one from yesterday. Got too sleepy to finish the
screen details and readouts properly, but the image served
it's purpose as an overpaint test perfectly.

samhell's keeping it alive, I just did a crummy octagon guy - with
workflow in mind, sure (how to do the same thing in Blender but way
better). Stay tuned...

Meh, been managing 'artistic temperament' stuff (my own) for ages. No
worries.
"Not here to stay" - so like a 'visiting professor' kinda thing. We'll take it! |

Nonsense, I just happened to stumble in when Whom was looking.  I do promise try and post more often from now on though.
Just finished this. Did the crappiest sketchup 3d base for this and painted over. Super gains in terms of speed... I think I'm starting to find a workflow suited for me.

Speed indeed. Related:
Really liking Max's "New Portfolio!" http://forums.sijun.com/viewtopic.php?t=43545 ...
Also Craig Mullins' comment, somewhere (his site?) re using stock photos
to 'remain competitive' (hope that's right)...
Speed speed speed - 3d always seemed (to me) to be a necessary step
beyond painting. Dunno...
Now I should actually *do* something to post. |
