Re: [FINISHED!] Tsukumogami
Long time no see!
Due to some real life stuff I wasn't able to post for a while. I've been studying anatomy a lot on paper past month, and I really needed it!
I still don't have much to post concerning this project, besides the fact that I attempted to pose a skeleton inside, (Thank you Fabricio Works!) to see if things made sense.
I'm not quite sure if it looks believable, but there's definitely some underlying issues with the way I had my model originally.
When the skeleton is done, I'll start layering muscles :]
(The head is so huge!!)

Re: [FINISHED!] Tsukumogami
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and critique so thoroughly carvuliero!
I'm a bit sad this does not communicate the feeling I wanted people to feel, they're not supposed to look miserable. I suppose I need some more practice!
The message I had posted above was supposed to showcase a sort of rough study, I suppose the quality is not there either then, do you suggest I just make 5 more of these before jumping in? Using my own hand as reference, or anatomy books?
To clarify, I've done all the hand poses present with my own hand to make sure they made sense (gesture wise, not proportion wise. I'll admit the proportions were rushed)
As for the big thigh gap, is it ok if I don't include it? I might be wrong but I feel like it makes the character too thin for my liking.
I'll take the time to study everything you included in your critique for sure, I can already see how it will help in improving this massively. :] Thank you again!
Next post will be focused on correcting everything.
If any other kind person has something to say, please go ahead! As said previously, I want to make the anatomy really accurate and pleasing to look at. Thank you in advance

Edit: I sorted through the feedback and made a plan of attack. Putting it here so I don't forget

HANDS:
1) do more 3d hand studies before jumping in
2) make a hand drawn diagram of what you find out
3) have the positions in space make more sense. draw out the invisible arm connections and line them up. but also, consider arcs.
4) when seen from above, wrist should be thinner than palm of the hand. fingers align with the palm.
5) on the hand, middle right, thumb base and thumb should be bigger.
6) same hand, consider arcs.
7) on the hand, middle left, the position could be more natural. Take the pose and reference.
8) hand bottom left, the thumb should be more forward.
HEAD:
1) fix the hair on the head to look more accurate to concept
2) place the eyes.
3) make the head look less shit from the side
4) think about the suggested twist. It's not present on concept but probably looks nicer
TORSO PIECE (torso belly hips legs):
1) rib cage twist, I'm conflicted. Discuss possibilities.
2) longer, thinner rib cage
3) higher trapezius.
4) define the clavicle more
5) add pectoralis connection to the arm. i'll admit i wanted to do it during the sculpt but it can be added now
6) add the rib cage middle bones as future reference (sternum, possibly ribs as well)
7) add the additional hole meant to represent the heard symbolically
8) groin shape. Better luck doing this in sculpt but I can attempt doing it hard surface
9) thigh shapes, especially inwards
10) think about thigh gap.

Re: Which PBR is actually PBR?
Most likely it's related to the IBL sampling which can have a fairly significant impact on perceived roughness without actually breaking the maths - in theory it can interfere with the amount and diffusion of the light coming from the sky
It's something that can be worked around but I suspect that supporting panorama images rather than properly convolved cubemaps for the IBL makes that difficult - the maths are a bit beyond me when we get to this sort of thing tbh.
I've not looked at the shader code for either application since they adopted the Adobe materials but previously the IBL sampling in Painter was a lot more sophisticated than what Designer offered - I wouldn't be surprised if that was still the case

Re: Flaoting Geo normal map bake warped?
You could also try combining two bakes. Also, if the outer hull is supposed to show up in the normals from the front, make sure to adjust the lowpoly/cage accordingly.

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
Very nice! One crit, if you're open to changes, would be to add more pronounced edge wear to the bottom of the unit. Someone pointed that out earlier when I posted the photos, just how beat-up the bottom was, from all the times it was set down on concrete or wherever.BillyJackman said:

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
Everyone's work is looking good!
@ATaylor96 your blockout looks better than my final high poly!
@klamante - that model is looking very clean great work! Not too chaotic to me!
@crayz4pnutz - all of your modeling looks solid. Unless I am getting tricked by the field of view/perspective, it looks a lot longer than the concept. I think it would help with the realism by shrinking down the overall length of your model. Great work so far!
@EtotheRic - your binos are looking really good. love the imperfections and damage.
@loon27 - that's looking really good so far! I'm digging the thick handle.
Here is my stab at the emergency light asset. Grinded this one out without keeping track of the progress.

Keep up the good work!

Re: Bookshop Sim Dev blog
Also realized we haven't really shared much on gameplay, should probably do that once we have some UI in 
. Speaking of, we've started doing some mockups for UI, it will probably be temporary until the final version release but for now it's this. The logo is also not even close to final but the vibes are here
trying to do something simple that has some fun little interactions. We have cats in the game of course so using them will be fun XD.
Some screens of the gameplay will have to do for now. I only did the wall patterns for this, Alex will have to forgive me showing his stuff lol
We have purchasing and shelving books implemented. Shoppers will come in, pick out books, take them to the cashier, and buy them. All the cashier stuff also works and you can hire people. We're mostly working on animations and gameplay balance atm as well as some bug fixing and refactoring on the engineering side. And at some point we have lots and lots of books to make lol
