I learned a lot from working there but I was not happy with how things were. When I started it was pretty awesome as a first job and lots of things were super amazing but towards the end it had changed so much I couldn’t really enjoy the small things anymore. I was becoming very burnt out on dealing with everything. It just wasn't a culture for me and wasn't the game for me. After all I don't play traditional mmo's anyways. I don't see the appeal to them as games. Not to say they are bad games, just preference in the end. I still think the game looks awesome and Cory Loftis's style is so amazing that it deserves its own big budget movie and I bet in like 6 years from now we'll see one too. But as for places I could be going to I couldn't be happier. It was a bit of a surprise to me but some of the best news I’ve had in a long time, a really long time. I worked really hard and didn’t give up. I learned a ton just taking a test and when I finally had my interview I was nervous and very excited to see anything I could. You can soak up so much information from people around you, I just wanted to talk and ask so many questions but I tried to hold myself back a bit. I’m extremely impressed with what I saw and can't wait to do whatever I can to contribute to it. I am working as a "Design Technical Artist". I love that my title has both “design” and “artist” in its name, my two passions in one title. I really do feel this is a good place for me to learn, grow, and help out. I have a lot of respect for the people there and always have. I feel really nervous and lucky to get the chance to finally work with these people. So wish me luck in my new endeavors!<span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>Deathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07542409373171965827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414955426168095490.post-26978665157755220042012-01-14T20:39:00.000-08:002012-01-14T20:39:48.875-08:00working on a pedestal for some artArt always looks better looking like a toy, like on a pedestal. so here is a pedestal i'm doing for some art. not sure how i'll texture it but i'm doing some League of Legends inspired work. yeah i play that game now...<br />

I was an artist as well as a designer there. I added a lot of assets to the game, even some game features, as well as a couple of tools. there are a lot of talented people there and it's an amazing looking game. Not a fan of that type of mmo myself but if it's your cup of tea feel free to check it out.<br />

<br />
the style of art is after cory loftis's work. the guy is amazing and one of the most talented people i've ever met. he can show you how to paint something in 5 minutes that would take you 5 months to learn. he works at disney now working on motion pictures so congrats to him for scoring a dream job. if you'd like to check out his personal work head on over to his blog. I highly suggest you do.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div>i have no traditional art here so i had to call in a lot of favors super late at night looking for whatever i could get my hands on. i had some water colors, black spray paint, drawing paper, colored prismas, and some tape. so i wanted to try and reproduce the last frame of this comic.</div><div><br />

anyways here's real quick what i got around to doing.<br />

still not happy with the face but i'm working on it. got the blocked in shapes and now i just plan to refine the details in everything. i'll start making it look worn and add in all the little details now.Deathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07542409373171965827noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414955426168095490.post-78201404262870735922011-01-22T22:59:00.000-08:002011-01-23T03:59:00.433-08:00Thoughts and Design... Today, talent systems.well after talking with some coworkers the other day i wanted to explain my thoughts on why i disliked talents so much in world of warcraft or other games. it's not that they are a bad idea to have but i haven't personally seen improvement on those in a long time. the good part about talents in games is that it's a slight adjustment to your character so that two of the same character can play differently. shitty part is that you then play like 1 of 3 types of your character. it gives the illusion of choice which is great and the default look and workings of a talent system also work great however it's getting a little outdated. all i had to do was google talent system and i get a plethora of images of all the same thing but with different art. stats and everything don't really matter at this point since what i'm looking at improving is it's overall way you get talents.<br />
<br />
first problem with talents is there is usually 2-3 different choices and there are always 2-3 different choices to go and adding more talent choices isn't necessarily the answer if you want to the player to have more options.<br />
<br />
second problem is they are all linear. not moving in some sort of way that allows the character to make their own choices and make that avatar unique to them and their play style.<br />
<br />
third problem is that if you go one way you can't really go back if you decide you don't want a talent in one area, as well as if you have the option to mix and match you frequently miss out on the final talents in all areas.<br />
<br />
ok so google has this to show us from the ever so popular games of world of warcraft and borderlands with their talent systems.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TTvB3cax2UI/AAAAAAAAADU/h2th3tZG5Ds/s1600/793px-Brick_skill_tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TTvB3cax2UI/AAAAAAAAADU/h2th3tZG5Ds/s320/793px-Brick_skill_tree.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>the same similar problems show up in each one. it's a branch of 3 paths with a couple of choices that all lead to single and powerful talent specs. if you start one path you immediately have made your choice and then mix and matching isn't as fun because you basically have to downgrade to try weaker talents meant for lower levels not knowing if it's all that worth it anymore. this is one way to keep players from being over powered when in fact players like to feel overpowered and like to feel as if they have beat the system you've laid down. my goals in design are to let the player make their own decisions and mix and match how they want. give them the freedom they deserve to make their play style their own and not punish them for spending a talent point in something when after trying it realizing they didn't like it.<br />
<br />
so how i determine that we solve this is to think more like a web rather than a box of possiblities.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TTvH1GBkbbI/AAAAAAAAADY/kBqAU4saE7k/s1600/talents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TTvH1GBkbbI/AAAAAAAAADY/kBqAU4saE7k/s640/talents.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>ok so instead of making it so 1 talent now unlocks access to 2 more talents of that type and so on, i believe it should be more of a unlocking level 1 circle of talents gives access to all of circle 2's of talents. circle 2 then unlocks all of circle 3 and so on. this provides the player with a way to customize a character to their liking and giving them a much larger range of possibilities but also a simple path if they feel like just sticking with one type. it also makes it so that the player doesn't ever miss out on that final talent point in the other areas while still supporting multi talented system. i also believe that the player should be allowed to take away a talent in one area and put it into another at any point in time. trial and error is a fun part of design and i believe that talents is a player designing their character, that and it sucks not to have the chance to play with all aspects of the game without their being some sort of negative consequence for it. so if a player wants to spend 2 or 20 hours perfecting the perfect system or mix in match in the midst of the field, then i say let them, if that's what they have fun figuring out, then i think it's great.<br />
<br />
i believe systems in games should offer a realm of possibilities rather than just giving the player a single guided experience.Deathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07542409373171965827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414955426168095490.post-70889584443721365722011-01-07T01:32:00.000-08:002011-01-07T01:32:18.498-08:00Twin update...i'm continuing to try and get better at sculpting, anatomy, and hints of stylization. ignore the face for now.<br />
<br />
i was hearing from people to stylize it a bit more and have it look more like the twins original concept. my original goal was to land somewhere in between real and stylized but i think i went a little closer to real as time went on so hopefully these adjustments will help. i think i need to thin her out a bit still to match the concept as well. also something is still up with the shoulders and i need to play with them a bit more to figure out what i need to do. oh yeah, i hate sculpting feet too... and hands...<br />

i feel like i don't need to update this much but i also feel this may be a good exercise in updating this blog on a regular basis as well as for me to better see my progression over time. right now i'm improving slowly, but i feel like i'm learning a lot and i'm remembering a lot about anatomy that i forgot so it's been a good exercise so far.Deathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07542409373171965827noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414955426168095490.post-50449817593091692952011-01-05T02:21:00.000-08:002011-01-05T02:21:56.356-08:00Twins mini update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Small little update to show the work i got done today compared to yesterday. she's coming along in the body but the face needs a lot of love still. trying to balance out the manga/real look.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

i think it gives me a chance to do something outside of that toony look but still keep it slightly stylized. as well as if i do this i get two models for almost the price of one!<br />
<br />
ok so i tried a bunch of different things to figure out which work flow is best for me since i've been away from characters so long, especially more real looking ones. first i tried just modeling it for zbrush which failed horribly. i'm much more used to traditional means so modeling it straight out with no side view and front view was kind of hard. haven't really done it that way in awhile.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TSMQNIRBy6I/AAAAAAAAACo/EENY35tYndY/s1600/ughfail.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uo3IWfWjDsk/TSMQNIRBy6I/AAAAAAAAACo/EENY35tYndY/s320/ughfail.jpg" width="192" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">embarrassed to even show this but hey it's process. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">next i said screw it to this whole thing. modeling it out wasn't working. even if i did want to take it into zbrush later. so i went straight to my new friend i made last year...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div>good ol zspheres. you get really bad topology with these but i find it so much easier to get my shape down. at first i was going off the super stylized sketches that had the long legs but i changed that during sculpting. looking back that was dumb to even make them that long. oh well, live and learn.<br />
<br />
so i started sculpting from that piece of crap round blob and got this basic body that's got some more realistic proportions<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1RAi0Kz3mpnLnPnwgyEGWBCAhknLxJcmEJyzbrj5yplEuIRTFri8h3WLxARrJl58cWd2GOFoLMC4zBDplh97ZWwG3grOMLIhy-SjJHDoBrNvSpYjynxmhN7OW3IP_XDEbK71dsEfcZbXT/s1600/001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1RAi0Kz3mpnLnPnwgyEGWBCAhknLxJcmEJyzbrj5yplEuIRTFri8h3WLxARrJl58cWd2GOFoLMC4zBDplh97ZWwG3grOMLIhy-SjJHDoBrNvSpYjynxmhN7OW3IP_XDEbK71dsEfcZbXT/s640/001.jpg" width="384" /></a></div>now like i said topology with zspheres sucks so there are few iterations in the head and many in the fingers. such is the curse of zspheres. so i decided just to make a good base mesh that had the decent proportions and i could throw away later. by no means is this a final sculpt at all.<br />
<br />
so i took that and put it in 3d coat and made this mesh<br />
<br />

<br />
ok so now comes the fun part, the actual WIP of the final high poly i'll use. it's still very early on so don't judge too much but i think it's coming along and the base mesh is relatively friendly. only a few things to fix.<br />

<br />
So making a game characters outfit is a bit of a challenge just because the stuff that he's wearing doesn't actually exist in real life or if it does I'm not sure where to find it. so i had to get anything that fit close and then modify it to fit my needs. so an easy one was the boots, i knew the boots where something like motorcycle boots from looking at the trailer. shorter leather boots, but his are a little more worn in of course and come more to a point but the ones i got fit the bill pretty good.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKPcYd7bW1N6Xcn64QZy4YNrN__qlP0B0jfSl5imIYC2vPSGCCNTRAciOxJZ6hhYDnWt1ssgRqlrVpVfXNgIZX8Yi4qbhccnhaAN5u8ckgNxup2JHUKjKIt4wSjh-guQIbbtPehZNCcuU/s1600/P5180382.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvKPcYd7bW1N6Xcn64QZy4YNrN__qlP0B0jfSl5imIYC2vPSGCCNTRAciOxJZ6hhYDnWt1ssgRqlrVpVfXNgIZX8Yi4qbhccnhaAN5u8ckgNxup2JHUKjKIt4wSjh-guQIbbtPehZNCcuU/s400/P5180382.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
pretty pricey from boot barn. I've never worn anything with a heel before though so it was interesting to walk in them. although i have to say i feel like i can kick down the Eiffel tower with these bad boys! although kicking stuff down feels like all i can do in them. certainly don't move right with them yet. <br />
<br />
another easy one were the gloves. i got a pair from Harley Davidson, close enough to work. there are better out there I'm sure but this was a part of the costume i wasn't too worried about getting exact. i never can find just the right gloves so i already was prepared to get something as close as possible. too much of a pain and they'll just be covered by a coat and seen from far anyways. <br />

first i knew i wanted a black pair of pants that i would fade the legs of with a gradient from the base to the knee. first thing i tried to do was leave some Clorox bleach splash less with water mix in the sink and let the pants soak. i hoped to see a change happen kind of fast but it actually wasn't till overnight that i saw a slight fade and that was not exactly the speed i wanted to work at. i had to use all the bleach i had too so this time i decided to get regular bleach and try again. this time soaking them as well as trying a new trick that a coworker showed me of just dipping the leg in bleach and then letting them hang dry for a better gradient. i wish i knew about that one first cause it worked a lot better.<br />

the last bit of clothing i have to show was a simple fix. buy wife beaters, and lower the neck line on one of them. i don't really know how to sew, but i do own a sewing machine. so although i'm sure there was a better way to do this, here's what i did. i took the collar line of one wife beater and cut it off and sewed it to the lower cut wife beater so it still looked like it was supposed to be that way. looks ghetto up close but it did the job.<br />

<br />
I first needed a base and these guns needed to be big cause dante doesn't use normal hand guns. so i went to a sport chalet and got a pair of desert eagle airsoft guns that my friend told me might work. they weren't the right shape but he said epoxy putty plastic would be good to help fill in stuff and get the right shape down and all i would need to do is sand them down a bit!<br />
<br />
so here's the first pass at them<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">next to it is a block of wood i got from micheals with some sand paper hot glued to it to get a better flatter smooth on the gun. doing that by hand would just mess it up. I'm really happy with how this turned out but i still need to finish sanding the other one and then continue adding epoxy and taking away from it to get the rest of the shapes in there. i borrowed a dremel from a coworker so i think I'll get started on that ASAP. but first.... more sanding. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
1. sculpture of a character from the game i work on<br />
2. a second sculpture of a character from the game i work on<br />
3. gundam model of tallgeese started and sanded (i have a total of 7 to make i think)<br />
4. handmade ebony and ivory handgun props for halloween and cosplay<br />
5. really just the whole DMC suit is going down this month<br />
6. playing through every hack and slash title i find cause i want to be a game director of one someday (yes that counts as extra work cause some of those games are awful *cough*X Blades*cough*)<br />
7. darker than black costume.<br />
8. Ipad game (top secret! actually i'm still waiting on the programmer to get the engine running :/ soon though) <br />
9. any extra 3d work on my computer left undone. this is last cause it's not as fun anymore since i do it all day at work<br />
<br />
that's all i can think of for now but in the night i made this blog i was also helping my friend by showing him how to possibly texture his Jehuty ZOE model (he modeled and unwrapped, i just had fun in photoshop). He had to have it done by 8 a.m. so i had to paint fast, not exactly the greatest texture for him but i still had fun texturing something that was unique like that instead of rocks or trees. i really dig POI pieces in games but then again who doesn't?<br />
<br />
thanks to all my friends who came by my livestream and hung out for a bit. i think i'll try to do that more often. not sure if i'll ever finish Jehuty but i'm sure i'll have something else going on.<br />
