My website.<br />
I posted this on polycount and asked people to critique it and my art on the site. So far here are the responses along with my response.<br />
<br />
Me-<br />
Hello everyone,<br />
I put together a blog a while a few months ago to replace my website,
and I never threw it up here to get critiques and feedback. I guess it
just slipped my mind.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dand3d.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://dand3d.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
So please if you can critique the lay out, the format, color, artwork.
Anything that can and will make my site/art work better would be much
appreciated. <br />
I asked some of the people I worked with and I got their feed back now I'd like to get some greentooth feedback!<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />
<br />
danpaz3d-<br />
Good name haha ;)<br />
<br />
New site looks good. Layout/visuals look good, I'd probably darken the
background just a bit more so theres more contrast with the content, and
you could put a faint image background in the header/title section.<br />
<br />
You've worked on some awesome titles! and this is what the viewer should see first. <br />
Make your 'professional 3d art work' page your homepage.<br />
<br />
Just my opinions, hope it helps! <br />
<br />
<span id="postmenu_1679124">dirigible-</span><br />
<br />Good thing I read danpaz3d's post, because otherwise I would have missed
your 'professional work' section. HELLLLLLL YES that should be the
opening page. People may not care enough to look at more than a couple
images on your site, so those first couple images need to be the best
images you have. Right now, that's your professional work (and the first
model from your personal work).<br />
<br />
As for your personal work, you have a pretty steep curve in quality.
Your most recent model looks really good. 3 models down, and it's a
noticeable drop in quality. Only thing I can say is, try to pump out
some stuff to better reflect where you are currently. It looks (from
your professional work section) like you have a good bit of sculpting
experience. I suggest you dedicate an hour or so every day to making
something in zbrush. Even if you never take it to a finished state, it's
an easy and quick way of making something that looks good and reflects
one of your best talents.<br />
<br />
Me-<br />
Thank you both for the responses! I'll try to figure out how to move the
professional work to the main page and the personal work to the second
tab.<br />
<br />
Also I never though about darkening the background of the images, I
though it was causing to much of a contrast and would be hurtful to the
viewer's eyes. Well your suggestion makes more sense.<br />
<br />
I do sculpt almost everyday, but most of the time it is not worth of
showing even on our speed modeling thread. But once I get something good
enough to replace that last image the rogue in my personal page then
I'll get it off of my site.<br />
Because people don't remember you for your best image but your worst.<br />
<br />
This is what so far has been said, if you would like to go to the thread and view if anyone else has said anything here is the link.<br />

Now I have to figure out how to change my website, because the critiques make a lot of sense.Daniel Driussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18413652158029106187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623278193944764036.post-17351088684187647972012-10-06T21:27:00.001-07:002012-10-06T21:27:05.717-07:00CG forum hunterLet me tell you what! Besides polycount there is few other cg forums I frequent. But one that The one that I do go to a lot is cghub.<br />
CGhub is one website is a great resource. Everything from posted job to inspiration art work on the front page, this site has so much to offer.<br />
But to be honest I have not used their forum at all, I have looked through their forums but I have never and I can't see myself ever posting on their forums.<br />
With all the professional and good looking work on their front page, the forum seems to be confusing and for the most part filled with poorer quality artwork then the front page. An aspect of this site that I will be using will be their "portfolio". You can upload your images, and even upload a banner image and use it as a portfolio if you do not/can not make your own. Or if you are like me and are cheap, and refuse to spend the money on a domain name it is a nice free option to host and promote your artwork. Likewise the professional appearance and since the making of the site is already finished you can better focus on making better art and not a better website.<br />
This is of course if you do not mind having a .cghub after your website name.<br />
Mine is dand3d.cghub.com, but I have as of yet put any of my art work on the website.<br />
As soon as I finish my assassin character I am working on I'll upload it and some other things I am working on at work (as soon as they are released and I can talk about them that is).Daniel Driussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18413652158029106187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623278193944764036.post-11703039336659609732012-09-30T10:58:00.001-07:002012-09-30T10:58:11.828-07:00Ethics and the norm I'm flabbergasted that we honestly have to have one whole week dedicated on the subject of ethics! I mean when did we as a race fall so low that we need professional teachers to tell students hoping to enter a work force about Integrity, or Humility and good work ethic just to name a few. Maybe it is me, maybe I am the odd one out. Maybe these things I did naturally is not the natural state of the majority of humanity. It could be because I am older (not really I at the moment am only 28), or since I have been out and about more then the average person my age... maybe a tad bit wiser. Or it could be because I am old fashioned and follow the morals set for me in a book written about 3.5 thousand years ago, with a revision added to that book some 2 thousand years ago. But once again I am just dumbfounded by the fact that we have this as a week of study. Of course I do acknowledge that we do need this in today's day and age.<br />
<br />
I of course am not above the need of improvement. The hard part is seeing where you could be better or are failing at all. I will try to point out some of my greatest faults and how I have fixed them or how I am currently fixing/dealing with them. At first while at school getting my BS while attending the Art Institute of California San Diego, I honestly can say I was overly cocky. Though I though I was humble and I still believe I am humble to this day, I know now looking back to when I was at AI I was cocky, at least in my final year. Well I did not have to do anything really to fix that, it was the big fish in little pond effect really. I also had a few years on most of the people that were in the same class that I was so I drew and modeled faster and better then most of them. Most being the word I want to stress, I never though I was the best, though I did thing I was better then the majority of the students at the school. That also could be affects still clinging on me from the military... But regardless I look back on my attitude and my actions and I am ashamed of myself. I even approached someone I went to school with and apologized for my actions and the way I talked to her back then.<br />
<br />But that was then, lets look at what I am dealing with now.<br />
<br />
I have been working in the same job for almost 4 years now, I get the same tasks day in and day out. Any task even if you love it, will get boring after doing it for the thousandth time. About a year ago I started to watch movies in a little window on the bottom of my second screen (this is common mind you and almost everyone in the company does it). But I have seen my self over the past year watching more and more movies/shows and it has effected my work flow. Along with that I did catch myself going to www.polycount.com a lot, so much that I almost always had it up on my other screen (I don't do facebook, so I guess this was my facebook). About a month ago I noticed myself doing these things, and have taken steps to change it. I no longer go to polycount while at work, it is to much of a challenge for me to just look at one page, or just one thread... I could spend almost all day on that site. So I cut my self off from it almost completely.<br />
Other then that I don't know what else to say.Daniel Driussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18413652158029106187noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623278193944764036.post-55144242871340711252012-09-16T15:21:00.002-07:002012-09-16T15:21:23.497-07:00One snobby criticThey say that you are your own worst critic. Well if that is true, why is there always someone who dislikes something that you did that you liked.<br />
Maybe that term does not work in the context that I wish to speak...<br />
I will be trying to a short critique on some of my newer and older works. The critiquing part will not be hard it will be the making it short for each piece will be challenging.<br />

This half head sculpt is in fact missing all secondary hair forms in the head. It apears that the top of the head is lumpy instead of looking like its hair. Likewise the forms under the eyes are to pronounced for a child and should have been made less exaggerated.<br />

This head sculpt is my latest and in my opinion the best I have done as of yet, but still has some failing aspects about it. The hair (that was suppose to resemble the old roman marble sculptures) does not match the rest of the detail on the head. Or to better put it, the minor pore detail and detail of the stubble and hair detail in the eyebrows does not match the hair on his head which has no detail at all.<br />

This model is a work in progress. As it is a WIP I'll only be able to critique what I have here and not what it will be. The proportions look about right but the armor is too generic and has nothing to make this look unique. The clothing, pants shirt and body all need to have their sub division pushed to a higher level to put more information on them. Left arm shirt folds do not work. <br />

This was a practice in hand painted textures to resemble world of warcraft's style. While not achieving the actual look of it the textures cam out looking well. The main failing point in this piece is the pose of the character.<br />

Arguably one of my weakest to date that I have on my portfolio. The torso and head are quite interesting yet the arms of the creature are lacking in any real detail or interest in them at all. <br />

This break down sheet has the same fall backs as the prior one has, large area devoted to the three maps, yet still not being able to see the maps clearly; along with very tiny and over lapping wired and colored views on the model. <br />

This concept art of the above monster is more interesting then the actual model. The arms have form with the ridges running down each one and the elephant trunk like ending on each arm. The main failing on this concept art piece is the fact that it is only line art and no value or dept at all.<br />

This concept art is of the above WIP model. This concept piece look off center and off balanced. Adding something that the model would stand on would make it feel to have more weight and less of a floating feeling to it. <br />

This is one of my oldest pieces I have on my portfolio. The lack in contrast in the texture, and the lack of variety of color in the color palate. Along with the lack of a good specular map for the metal on the character makes this the weakest piece in my portfolio in my opinion. <br />

This zbrush model of burnt soldier I did for resistance burning skies seems good enough. But the presentation of the model is quite low. The materials could have at least been the same color, and the screen capture should have been done at best render mode. <br />

This is the infected scientist I modeled for Resistance burning skies. The main failing point on this model was the hair, it looks lumpy and did not look like hair but more like clay on his head. Also no texture of the head is shown.<br />

This model is of Rachel for resistance burning skies. Her hair was not nearly sculpted enough and the strokes made in zbrush are apparent and should have been blended more. Also no texture of the head is shown.<br />

This is the model of Bill Amherst I did for resistance burning skies. This model looks good but the bags under his eyes are to exaggerated, and the repeating form does not look natural. Also no texture of the head is shown.Daniel Driussihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18413652158029106187noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623278193944764036.post-85619581979596880872012-09-15T23:23:00.003-07:002012-09-15T23:23:54.410-07:00No idea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So while sitting at my desk at work, I stare at the computer screen. I
have been tasked to to something, it could be another texture... (there
are always more textures to do), or the odd chance I get to sculpt. I
look at the reference, and then I look to what I have on my screen and
then it suddenly dawns on me.<b> </b></div>

Now that is not saying I don't know what I am doing from a technical stand point, or even from an artistic stand point. I complete the task and I do a good job of it, but I still have the feeling at the end of the day that I am completely lost on what I just did.</div>

My name is Daniel Driussi, I graduated from The Art Institute of California San Diego in 2008. Half a year later I found myself working at VASG (Visual Arts Service Group (and worst acronym ever)) a studio owned by SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America) in San Diego as a production artist. My job was to process scanned data and sculpt them so they are ready to be textured and then have the final sculpt phase done on it. After two or three weeks of working there I was asked to try my hand at doing some photo realistic textures basted on the photos from the scans. I have been doing that and getting the occasional final sculpting job for almost four years now. Now I find myself with in the character art and scan team bouncing back and forth to whom ever needs me. My sculpting is good enough, yet I take to long to complete the sculpts that I am tasked with to be fully useful in the character team as a sculptor more then a texture artist. I still help process scan data when they need a lot done fast, and my primary job it seems is to do high quality textures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what do I want to do? I know I would rather sculpt then texture. I also know I would like to work in either the game or movie field, either does not matter to me. I know quite a bit about what I do and what I want to do. I know how I got to where I am, and I know how to get to where I want to be.</div>

Then why do I have this feeling still that I have no idea what I'm doing?</div>
