Hi to all Moddb community, hope all member are fine, so what news for me ? Actually i work for my university exam.
For the 3D, during the last month i had do lot's of thing .
For exemple i had work on an another scene on CE3 SDK ( i had lost a precedent scene when my HDD has stop to work).here some screenshot :

And here some material test on CE3 SDK ( an a lot's of work on GIMP ) :

and a first modular asset test on CE3 SDK, create with blender and export with CryBlend :

I had do a lot's of work with Blender (thank to the tutorial, CGcookies and Blender guru):

Now what i want to do ? I don't know, i think i will back to UDK to create a scene, but what type of scene ? a survival horror scene ? a landscape ? i don't know ( if you have any idea ??? ).

Know what ? A little discussion about a game type : Survival horror.
I don't know for you , but i love survival horror like resident evil rebirth, Siren, Lone survivor or Amnesia , i think in this game there is a really good atmosphere and sound .But survival horror are , now very rare . But i was exited with the annonce from Shinji Mikami for the video game : The evil within !
What i think ? i think with the next gen, maybe survival horror will come back in force ! . and you did you like survival horror ? did you have a survival horror who you like ? Come here to talk if you want ^^ .
Im always sorry for my bad english , i will try to improve that.

Hi too all ModDB and IndiesDB comunity, hope you are all fine and have a good.
So to start a bad news : My HDD is dead, so i had lost lot's of my work, lot's of texture reworked, mesh...So for my next Cryengine 3 SDK scene i need to restart all .

So in second i would like to start a summary of my self-taught learning
in first why self-taught learning ? In France there are school where we can learn the video game job and 3D movie job , with formation in 3D, animation ...But this school are to many expensive, something like 10 000 € / year or more ,sometime without a degree, without grant...So i will never can learn in a school.It was 4 years :) :
I was already to learn how use UT3 editor and GOW editor :

Sometime after , the first UDK beta was release, so something with more possiblity, more powerfull, I had learn how use UDK during 1 year or more (from the begining to the most recent):

After learn the basic, i had start to create my own texture, and mesh( lot's of testing) :

Sometime after i had start to learn how use Blender , with amazing tutorial from CG cookies :

And to the last month i had start to learn how use Cryengine 3 SDK :

And that's so, for the screenshot, and now some video lot's of test, include UDK work and Blender Work :

Flickering lights test - Mod DB

Garden(level 01_3) - Mod DB

Day night cycle prototype 1 - Mod DB

Day night cycle prototype 2 - Mod DB

Level 01_1 remake - Mod DB

Fast improvisation scene 02 - Mod DB

Cell Shading Test - Mod DB

Bouncing ball animation - Mod DB

What can i conclude For this last 4 year of my self-taught learning, i think this is really hard, i think i need to go to stude in a school but i can't , no many money to pay a school :/, too expensive, i think i will continue my self-taught learning , but i don't think i will work in video game one day.I will continue my self-taught learning , i will continue to work on blender,UDK, CE3 SDK and other software soon .

And now a last thing : an amazing game was annonce , there is some day, this is : PLANETARY ANNIHILATION , who will be i think a amazing RTS.So guys Help the Dev team and go on Kickstarter :
Kickstarter.com or here : Planetaryannihilation.com , and here this is the promotion video :

So thank to all and see you next time, my next scene will be on CE3 SDK .(And sorry for my bad english) .

Hi all, hope the ModDB communoty are fine, i had just finish my first scene on Cryengine 3 SDK, the next scene will be a interior/exterior scene, hop some screenshot from final render:

i think , i will do a remake from an old work from UDK , a survival horror scene.Here a little sceenshot test (and yes i admit I was inspired by SIREN video game series , but i'm a great fan :D ):

With a silent hill (failed xd) style :

Thank all, and see you later :D (and always sorry for my bad english)

Hey hey all, hope the ModDB communoty are fine :), what can i tell ?
Hum in first this is my birthday , i'm 24 years Old yeah !, and thank for the birthday message on facebook, mail and tweeter :) , so i'm always learn self-educated (for 3D,animation and other) , because i don't have the money to go in a private school to learn, it's really expensive in france, something like 10 000 € by year for exemple .
And i'm in holiday :D , i had finish the university :) (and i didn't find a summer job....)So i try to keep busy.In the begining i wasn't want to learn how use CE 3 because i was think it was very very difficult , but i had read the CE3 SDK documentation and watch some tutorial .And actally i try to do a scene wtih CE3 sdk asset, the next scene will be with my own texture and asset. so some WIP of my scene. this screen are take at differents stade of the dev , and some time at different time of day (night,day...) :

And here some pics who are more recent :

So what can i conclude , Cryengine 3 is really a great powerfull game engine ,so many possibility, optimised .Yeah the begining was really difficult , but when you control , when you have know how use this engine , you can made lot's of amazing scene,movies and video game.
Hum i think i will pay some english lesson too haha, sorry again for my bad english .Soon i will post my work on polycount and CG hub to have more opinion from professional and beginner, for have a better level in 3D :) .
So hope you had like this little and see you soon.
Ha and bonus pics :D :

Hi all, it was a long time, i was very busy with my stude, so i didn't have many time to write on my blog, so today i do a BIG article.(And again sorry for my bad english, i will try to improve it )
Progress in 3d modeling:
When i had some free time, i try to learn 3D modeling on blender (maybe 3DS max and more , more later), i had a subscription on CG COOKIE (a very very good site ^^),where i was can to learn some tips.Blender guru and Nation was too a source of information and tutorial.I had Learn lot's of thing important in modeling, but It's so difficult, i can modeling some props like Glass drink,chair and other, But i can't modeling for an exemple a Human head, I don't know why, i find this difficult, i need more training i think ^^
Here some screen of my work:

Animation:
I had start to learn animation with "Blender: Animation Fundamentals Training Series",by Beorn Leonard .
Here two animation video:

Bouncing ball animation - Mod DB

Ball and Chain animation - Mod DB
(in low resolution sorry for that.)
recently,Daz 3D had proposed DAZ Studio Pro, Bryce Pro,
& Hexagon for FREE ^^.This software are amazing, and the shop too, i had buy lot's of thing and i (try) to work on a little pretty good scene ^^ i will post some render in the next post on my blog.
So all see you later.

Actually, i learn 3D modelling with Blender, So i try to work on a little Robot ,what i had imagine.
So some render screen(sorry for my bad english) :




And a little movie :

Robot maintenance - Mod DB

And Now i will talk a little of my second Fast improvisation scene on the UDK:
I didn't do the mesh, it's only UDK and UT3 content, but i had do some Texture and Material (the floor for exemple).I had use Lightmass Emisive Material light (i don't remember the name), that's what gives reddish complexion in the room with the statue.
Some screen and a video :







And a video:

Fast improvisation scene 02 - Mod DB
And that all for today, next time i will do the robot's animation .

Work in progress of my first exterior map video - nero_angelo - Mod DB

salut a tous comment ça va ? moi ça va, depuis que je suis rentrée en Fac de droit,je n'ai plus trop le temps a passer sur l' UDK, juste entre 21h00 et 22h30 (car avant je bosses mes cour de droit ^^).Donc je passe la plus part de mon temps a crée des scènes et tester des truc(post process,wind ....) et donc je me suis mis a essayer de crée une map en extérieur,jusque la je n'avais que fais des scènes en interieurs.Bon le principale probleme que j'ai c'est le faite que je ne puisse pas me payer un nouveau PC(et plus de tutorial),j'avais pensé au don mais bon on vera plus tard,mais c'est vrai que ça aurais été utile pour me payer au moins des tutoriaux.Bon et voila quelque screen et une video du kismet de mes travaux.

hello to all how are you? me okay, since I'm back in the Faculty of Law, I have much time to spend on the UDK, just between 21:00 and 22:30 (because I work my law lecture ^ ^). So I spend most of my time has created scenes and test stuff (post process, wind ....) and then I started to try to create an outdoor map, until I was only doing the scenes interieurs.Bon the main problem I have is that I can not afford a new PC (tutorial and more), I thought the gift but hey we'll see later, but it's true it would have been helpful for me to pay at least some of tutoral.Bon and voila screen and a video of kismet for my work.

Today I'll post some video of my work, I decided that the establishment would not stay on that UDK has the state of hobbies, I also can begin to learn modeling in order to create my own static meshe.voila it for today, I think I will finish the three-level court, may be the same post, then I're considering something else. (sorry for my bad english).These videos are about: the particle physics and level design .

Hello everybody, well the summer? good I confess I have not found a summer job (and thus could not pay me on a new computer before I can take full more time, to continue on my LEARNING The UDK. I So redo the level 01_1 trying to improve the optimization, try several types of post process.
