Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Here are some studies I did today, again from moreguefile references. Having a time limit really helps, you can't over-detail and you can't drop out halfway through :). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Travel template. Powered by Blogger.

LJFHutch: October 2011

http://ljfhutch.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 22, 2011. Grass is one of the most important things in a game environment and adds immensely to the believability of the scene. Compare the following, the same scene with no grass or bushes and then with:. Without grass it's easy to pick up the tell-tale signs that you're playing a game: you can see the sharp edges of the ground mesh, see the perfectly sharp edges where objects intersect the ground and each other, see the flat ground textures etc. This brings me to the second point:.

Saturday, May 28, 2011. Zombie Survivors Block In. Phew, just finished blocking in everyone! This was really fun to do, and the diverse range of clothing, weapons, poses, ages etc etc etc. Plus the difficulty of getting everyone into the picture! But it's working out great so far and I've really enjoyed it. Friday, May 27, 2011. Zombie Survivors Group Photo! Now I can begin the fun stuff :) Anyhow, check it out, some stances and minor things will change as I paint them properly, but it's pretty good.

LJFHutch: July 2011

Thursday, July 28, 2011. A study of light and shadow. A few days ago I came up with an idea for a study. I wanted to know how to paint various lights and also how to paint the value and colour of shadows correctly. Here's the finished multiply layer over the apple in the light (left). I've added in the background from the shadowed shot for better comparison. Pretty similar? Perhaps I shouldn't have been so shocked, but this was an awesome moment. It's basically a dull chrome ball right? Above, for the po...

Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Painting Tutorial - 2D/3D Integration. In this tutorial I go over how I integrate 3D elements into a 2D concept/illustration. This process involves taking a sketch of the object and using it to model the design in a 3D application. A simple greyscale render is then used in Gimp/Photoshop above set to multiply which creates the lighting and form. Can speed up the painting process, especially for simple designs easily created in 3D. Results in crisp paintings. Is a good guide.

LJFHutch: March 2011

http://ljfhutch.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 31, 2011. Here's a work in progress shot of my latest painting, going for a grungier, dirty style with a much more streamlined workflow this time and so far it's worked out great. I'm certainly getting good with the armour, this is only a quick render and it looks passable. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Monday, March 28, 2011. Hutchbuggy 2 step by step concept. A new speed painting. A quick one hour speed painting without reference. Next I'm gonna do some characters I think. Two days of Study.

LJFHutch: June 2011

http://ljfhutch.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 27, 2011. After doing the 60x60m mockup terrain I learned some valuable lessons, with those in mind I plan on making rally the main focus of the terrain, probably doing another Greek terrain later on based around trails/crawling. It just wasn't viable to have them both together due to the terrain mesh detail/space requirements of both types of driving. Thursday, June 23, 2011. Concept Art and Greece. Thursday, June 9, 2011. I'm still playing around with ideas for my next rigs of Rods terrain...

Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Blender GPU vs CPU rendering speeds. This is just a quick comparison to show the difference between rendering with the CPU and with the graphics card (GPU). 4003 seconds compared to 2.98 is a fairly large difference and it becomes very apparent when waiting for a render. Words don't do the numbers justice:. Friday, December 16, 2011. Gimp 2.7.4 Experiments, MyPaint and a Submarine. I recorded a speed painting to show it in action, you can see it on Youtube below:. Brush outl...
