@echo field i know i recognized the ship
The clouds..did you make those from scratch?
echo field
I have a library of all stock footage from shutterstock, and kinda tweeked them to set perfectly in theme,. I did little brushing but mostly its a real cloud file
mortal fable
Ok so you put together many different assets right?
echo field
yes, and little bit of No Man's Sky colour 😄
echo field
i made it from scratch

the monster, red crystals sentinel drone dragon birds and exotic flower clusters in the middle are all captured in game

Yeah i figured
Its all reaply good tho
After all art is about lying pretty much
Making illusions

Haha, yes, its all in the illusion

i really want hello games to make it in the game as a menu screen
have you seen the video of it in motion?
mortal fable
So how did u make the gras did you copy it over and over until it is dense?
echo field
no i did from scratch like, we have a default photoshop brush and just keep painting
mortal fable
Ok i understand
echo field
i made a solid landscape and kept paint it
mortal fable
Cuz that would take hella lot time to manualy paint lol
echo field
oh yes, it took me almost 4 hours to play with it

Amd reasonably priced
echo field
yes
mortal fable
Yeah i chose well then
echo field
yes you did indeed 😄
mortal fable
It has a big workimg space for its price too
echo field
yes,. that is the only reason i preferred it over wacom
echo field
favourite piece as in game or wallpaper?
echo field
I have one which has a fighter ship flying below a curved arc or mountain. that's a favourite one!
but i guess all no man's sky artworks are my favourite

torpid otter
I agree
glacial onyx
I also agree. But at the same time, I would still say there is an upper limit that should be observed
AND I also insist that only some planets should be so visually bold. Others, not so much, or even downright bleak. the gamut is what makes tha parts of the gamut more special when you find specific things
If *everything is mute colors, none of that is special or interesting. If *everything is blazzingly bright, none of it is special see?

Yeah, which is why it was silly of them to remove that kind of thing entirely, when they could have just been made more rare.

Want to do some landscapes in the future
I just have really high expectations for myself and im really critical of my own stuff
Prolly like majority thp
crisp scarab
that's natural
it's good to take a break from a piece you're working on and come back to it later and touch it up. but in the end, we'll never really be truly satisfied, so we have to come to and end point and 'let our baby go'. then have another baby.
don't overthink when doing environments. rough thumbnails and being loose is a good way to start. sometimes even black and white

Yeah i love that too
More than protraits really
Its just im not inspired
And have no idea how to construct a landsape properly
Need more prsctice thats for sure
crisp scarab
i hear ya. sometimes the motivation isn't there. but sitting down, arranging a document with little rectangular thumbnails side by side, and just going and and starting to put value blocks with random brushes without thinking too much can be a great way to start generating ideas/get your imagination pumping. that sorta thing could take 15 minutes.
and also doing that without worrying about perspective and such.
that can come later down the line

Heh, cheap on Kindle tho
long veldt
Is that an art book or a book you read?
spark gust
Expedition by Wayne Douglas Barlowe. It's a sci-fi art book with a story, written like a first hand account from an artist on an expedition to an alien world. Amazing world-building, it portrays this whole alien ecosystem.
The Discovery Channel actually made an interesting special based on it. Had CGI recreations of some of the creatures, and speculative discussions with scientists about the possiblities of such alien life. Book was better tho.
It's the artist who designed much of the world from the movie Avatar.
OH! Heh, look what I found googling... an old NMS Reddit link about the book! There's a PDF link to the whole thing on this page: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/3fpu1c/anyone_subbed_to_this_reddit_needs_to_read_this/ 😃

Umm, Loop15 got shut off because it wasn't good enough. Same with the other loops and as far as we know the other loops didn't have a human like personality that Emily had

Lore
young cloak
I think he meant alternate universe
wheat dagger
Ah that makes much more sense
winged tangle
@wheat dagger yeah spenka18 is correct its an AU, i wanted to make a story with the lore of no mans sky but the problem was its to advanced and practically impossible to get ahold of because there isnt a place where its connected, the personalitys are the computer programs in it, its not actually canon to th univrerse we play in its just another reality the main atlas simulated
winged tangle
meh it doesnt really matter, in an i spent alot of time on this and im not changing just to fit in EXACTLY, so i just made it an AU so i could put in my own characters
wheat dagger
Eh it's okay, your AU doesn't sound like a good storyline anyways. The reason why WT and NMS lore hooked us is because of it's twists and crazies it did to make sense. If you plan to make random story based off of things you barely know it's just going to sound like typical AI story. There's plenty to read from to learn the lore for both WT and NMS, they're so both more connected then you think. @winged tangle
winged tangle
@wheat dagger meh too late now im not rewriting my story
plus im thinking of throwing something in to for it to make sense why these characters are different, like someone else taking charge of the Loop projects

just say it's an alternate universe

New little series I'm gonna try to get going. Opinions on the head bust?
Here's the file without the brain bubble
I was debating just going with the stock astronaut too.
That bust there is the character model I use personally but I can't tell if it'd be more cohesive to go with the stock astronaut or with a unique character. I think a unique character would shine more of a light on the story behnd the game so for now I'm sticking with that.

I just finished Episode 1, I'm pretty new to the concept and I feel like the video is too drawn out, a bit boring. I'll see what I can resolve in Ep. 2. For now, criticism oh what parts were exceptionally boring would be appreciated.

Have you seen Freeman's Mind? It's based off of that.
It's basically playing a game and voicing the mind of the main character, the "Freeman's Mind" series was the sort of pioneer of this type of video, and took place in Half Life
In terms of criticism I've recieved so far - this will be especially helpful if anyone who has seen the original freeman's mind could give input - it's a bit too chatty. It's too dense with voice lines. Any direct criticism to this? Agreement / Disagreement?
I'm off to bed for now, just ping me if you respond since I'll have my computer off, it won't wake me up or anything.
dusky mural
isn't Freeman's Mind literally just a man talking to himself for 15 minutes
how is that supposed to not be chatty
are you taking too long of a sentence to get a point across or somethin
urban wren
It's more that it's too dense with lines. It's not too severe, but I just need to make it so that it's not all voice lines throughout, I need to have some spacing between the lines. Another thing that was brought up to me is that some select lines are too verbose to be brief thoughts. I've already got an idea for how to resolve this without gouging too much out of the content.

you gotta level up your role first
just shit talk in this server and you'll eventually get there
but you can always put images up on imgur and share links

@dusky mural I would highly recommend upgrading to Blender 2.8 beta. The beta has no real issues, and crashes no less than the stable 2.79 version. The only real difference between the versions is the user interface which is incredible in 2.8, its much more user friendly and easy to understand/navigate. If you often use older Blender tuts you don't have to worry about that either as the way you create models is essentially the same, everything is just neater and less complex. 😄
dusky mural
oh I'm just using 2.79 cos that's what NMSDK is made for
reef bridge
Ah right
dusky mural
and I also don't model much
I just take model from the net, apply texture and export
dusky mural
I just find textures online
reef bridge
That's been the case with me for any art tbh tho
Fair enough
I never try modelling anything that looks realistic since I love cartoon styled art so I rarely pull textures off the internet
I just hate the nodes
Node systems kill my brain cells. I'm sure they are less complex than they appear but they just ughhhhh

i made one for the thing im working on
i took some....creative liberties however

Blender

i'm self taught and i've been doing these low poly landscapes for my GF for months, most of them are pinned
UV mapping however is a pain, if it wasn't so hard i'd have some more detailed (although still simplistic) stuff on there
oh wow surprisingly the one im the most proud of isn't pinned
weak gull
The only thing I've been able to properly UV unwrap and apply a texture to was an anvil, but I made that by following a tutorial by Blender Guru
weak gull
That's really cool
surreal laurel
those walkers barely worked in terms of joints lol
weak gull
How do you light the scene? Do you use lights or a hdri?
surreal laurel
like its obvious if you know what to look for but i take a lot of deviations
i use lights
i had skyboxes beforehand
but i didn't like how they looked
weak gull
I've been using mostly hdri's, but it can be hard to find one that looks good
surreal laurel
the water took me like multiple attempts to get right in the thing i linked
lowpoly water is such a pain
weak gull
Yeah
weak gull
I've never been able to figure out the hair shader
surreal laurel
i literally only use it for water
weak gull
Ive mainly been using glass for water
surreal laurel
glass is very fucky
it creates a lot of noise and overall looks really chea
cheap
weak gull
It can look alright with a glossy layer below it
But yeah noise sucks.
Is there anyway to get rid of it?
weak gull
Never heard of it
surreal laurel
but it clears up most of it
weak gull
I'll give it a go
I've mainly been just turning up the samples
Or whatever they're called
weak gull
Yeah
weak gull
The textures look a bit odd, but I'm happy with how this came out.
dusky mural
have you tried using the in-game texture
cos it's literally just a tiling texture and would probably work the same way as you're working with now
weak gull
I haven't a clue how to get it
But yeah, the one I'm using now doesn't look great
I don't have the game on PC, so I can't go through the files looking for it
weak gull
My laptop is too shit :(
brittle prism
Or just ask someone to send it over discord who has the PC game
Seems way out of the way to have to rebuy the game

this is not exactly an art but I spent 4 hours trying to learn texture atlas
turns out I have to have the og UV map set to be rendered while having the texture atlas selected
which is apparently two different fucking things?

Bananaman, a short horror story inspired by the actual Bananarama NMSCord dweller and a thread in #no-mans-sky
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to Bananarama. It is a dimension as vast as mutes and as timeless as bans. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between man and banana, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Beyond Zone".
Meet Bananarama, he is a criminal, convicted of the worst crime known to man: taking the life of a human being known as Sean Murray. Bananarama has been imprisoned in solitary confinement for eighteen years, sharing housing with the eldritch creature known as "Zoid". Eighteen years without staring into a man or a woman's eyes, eighteen years without hearing the voice of man or woman, and eighteen years without seeing the hand that slid his ration of food under the door twice a day for the last eighteen years.
Today Bananarama will step into the Beyond Zone, but first let us observe him closely.
A beam of light entered the man's dark cell from a small hole in the ceiling. He didn't know if it was the blazing sun or an artificial light, he only knew that he missed seeing the sun in its full glory.
The man stared at the beam of light, the cot underneath him hard as the mattress had slowly begun to sink into the wired bottom. He stared for a timeless while and only after the light began to flicker and dim did he realize that his food had not come. He didn't miss it anyway, for it was a diet of supposed cannibalism, a perpetual cascade of bananas.
He swung his feet off the bed and staggered towards the door. It was cold to the touch, as it always was. He put his ear against it. No sounds. He slammed a fist onto the metal door and opened his mouth to shout, but the only sound that came out was a single banana thread. He doubled over, hacking up a thick, viscous banana residue. He had given up talking ages ago. They never responded. He leaned on the door and banged against it with his fist. He banged until his hand ripened to the point of flies maturing from it, and by then the light above had gone and his cell was returned to darkness.
He returned to his bed and went to sleep, his dreams full of flies and strange men picking him up.
He awoke some time later to find the light above had returned. The light was his clock. There was no sense of time in this cell. He had no sense of days, or months, or years, only the light. He did not stare at the light this time. He sat on his bed and, with his back to the cold wall, hugged his lower region where his legs used to be and stared at the floor underneath the door.
He awoke again with the light. This time the Bananaman attacked the door, kicking it and punching it until he started to ripen rapidly. He tried to scream but found he couldn't. They'd abandoned him, left him to rot! The man crumpled to the floor and began to cry banana threads, something he had not done for a very long time. The slime from the threads moisturized his face and stung hellishly.
Some time later, after the light had come and gone four times, the Bananaman slipped from his bed, falling to the ground. He crawled to the door, his energy less and less with every movement, and let the side of his face rest against the ground. The crack was not big enough for him to see under. Perhaps, the Bananaman thought in a feverish panic, he could go to the back wall and look under, perhaps then he could see. He tried to move back but realized he was too weak. His stem had ceased rumbling, and only a discontent feeling of sickness settled at the bottom of his body.
He reached up and scratched at the door until he could find a grip and then struggled to pull himself up. His hand slipped and he waited several minutes more before trying again. This time he pushed with his knees and pulled at the door--it moved towards him. He let go in shock and fell down again on the hard cement floor. A whimper escaped his lips and with one long, thin banana thread, he stuck it under the door, through the crack, and then curving it back around, pulled on the door.
It swung open.
The emaciated Bananaman rolled to the side and then on his back, his eyes watering as the dim lights in the hallway outside flickered. His lips moved as he struggled to express his shock. How long had the door been unlocked? How long?
His mind raced and his middle section almost exploded into slime with a twisted kind of joy. He would finally see a face, hear a voice, see into someone's eyes!
He crawled out of the cell, his body shaking with excitement and adrenaline. A small rod, extending from the right side of the doorway, swept out at an angle and rotated towards the door until it hit the threshold and then retreated back. He stared at it. He reached for it and, guiding it forcefully, repeated the motion. His lips quivered and he found himself staring up into the ceiling just outside his door.
A small gap led into the ceiling filled by a thick, clear plastic tube. Lodged into the entrance of the tube, stuck at its corners, was a ration. The man stared for several long moments as the realization of his discovery swept over him. He stared down the hallway with opened eyes, his expression growing worse. All along the hallway the doors, much like his own, were swung inwards. The cement walls and floor had begun to crack, and weeds and grass blades were beginning to break through.
The man opened his mouth and screamed.
"His name is Bananarama. The worst kind of criminal, forced now to live out the rest of his life alone, and without companionship. The Earth is empty, without life, and Bananarama spent twelve of his eighteen years in a small cell as the last Bananaman on Earth."
"Was he truly a man, even after the murder of our beloved Sean? Was he more banana, a horrible monstrosity uncertain of his position, knowing nothing except to ooze slime and produce threads? What became of his captor, the horrific Zoid?"
"These are questions he will never truly know the answer to."
"That, is the fate, of the Bananaman."
"Does the story seem too far-fetched to you? You don't think it could happen? Anything is possible in the Twilight Zone."
