WIP Prototype

amadeux

hey folks,

Iva had my eye on this forum for a very long time and regret not making any posts. I go to the Art institute of Tampa and got less than a year to graduate. Been getting nervous the closer I get to finishing so I decided to post some of my work and see if anybody can help me sharpen my skills. I don't get too much feedback on improving texture quality at school cause they seem to concentrate too much on learning the software, but I guess it's up to me.

anyways, Ive been working on a prototype project and I feel like I'm taking too long on the process. here's my character



I pretty much keep everything separated in layers and basically work one with a black value to do the modeling, another for the color, and another for details. Ive notice that some pretty much do it all in one layer, like a painting, but I do it this way in case I want to make changes or use the values of certain layers individually (like, for normals or specularity).

I would really appreciate as much feedback. I have no problem with harsh critiques, its worth hearing from you.

thanks in advance

J Randall

pretty good so far, his ass looks funny, theres mirroring issues in the crotch all together, punch up the detail on the rest of the texture, maybe post a wireframe with a blank color so we can crit the topology.

Thanks for the reply Randall, I made fixes you mentioned in your response. Heres the wires and updates. its at about 3,100 tris with a 1024x texture.








one of the issues that I'm dealing with right now is matching the seams. I keep having to go back and fourth to retouch the areas. It really makes em regret taking the unwrap for granted, I really know to take a more serious approach in the future. If anybody has any suggestions on this please let me know.
