Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
I'm not interested in a video with someone else's thoughts, I'm interested in your thoughts in written form. This is a forum where we can have a back and forth, sometimes with videos we can just turn our brains off and let stuff wash over us. Videos are also very one-way, they are having a conversation at you in a way that you cannot respond.

In fact that young version of her doesn't even look like her, so not sure what puberty did but she had a bigger bust when she was younger.
her adult model is very visibly a different band/cup size and the face looks like a different person.
Umm... bro... this is weird... Comparing the chest size of the character while they are a child, vs an adult would never even cross my mind. I'm so sorry that biology education hasn't been up to snuff or there are no women to talk to in your life to ask about this, so you're going to have to learn here on polycount dot com... But a person's chest size can change throughout their life for a variety of reasons, from slow puberty vs puberty hitting someone like a truck overnight, to hormonal changes, genetics, exercise, life changes. pregnancy, how you dress over time etc etc etc. I know she is a fictional character but, bringing about the chest size of a child just kinda feels... kinda yikes and puts up red flags in my brain. Why would this be a thing to even think about?
NikhilR said:So before we go into reactionary rubbish about whether she is trans or used puberty blockers doesn't it seem that all the dev's did was replace one stereotype for another stereotype and call it progress?
Or is it possible that her story is more relatable to the devs than a sizable portion of the player base given their backgrounds?
Bro... BRO... Not a single person in this thread has ever brought up the possibility of Kay being trans, except in this statement, what kind media is being consumed where where that would even become a thought? Also what stereotype is being talked about here? I'm not catching on so explain it to me. She just looks like a regular person in the Star Wars universe, which is the point, she's a regular nobody who got caught up in a situation that happens to be bigger than her.
NikhilR said:
- though she can punch through storm trooper armor and can't carry rifles up ladders. Nix is invincible and the only tool she has is a super lightweight lock pick (which might be really heavy but her hair may be super strong)
This is again a gameplay issue lobbied as a character one. It would still play the same if it was block out mannequins in a gray box environment. There is a fixation here about it being Kay specifically that I simple don't understand. This is standard hero stuff, they are strong and have punches that could knock people out. Why is it a problem when it's Kay specifically?
And the stuff about Kay not looking like her mom... that is what happens when you use 2 actors who aren't related to each other, assuming the mother is also face scanned. I don't see it being an issue, this just happens. Did anyone pitch a fit when Anakin and his mom don't look alike? He has no father to speak of so that can't be an excuse, so again why is it a problem when it's Kay?
If all of these are meant to be jokes, but no one is laughing, it means that you need better material. Comedy is unfortunately one of the mediums that age the fastest and is usually reliant on the zeitgeist of the time, very few comedic things have aged well.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
You can't possibly be trying to convince me that was there to "show gaming can include that demographic". That's the shit you bring up if you want to depict certain groups and being ridiculous, overly-sensitive and weak. And if you wanted to say "gaming is inclusive", you could just say it. And again, Tucker Carlson, not helping your case for "I'm totally not talking in bad faith".
Also....Kind of, yeah? I would find someone hard to work with if their sense of humour was 40 years out of date, considering at least half the jokes back then were around the idea that someone was/could be seen as someone like me, which is apparently so hilarious and laughable to be. The "comical stereotypes" from back then were, in reality, racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic tropes. If you're going to acknowledge your humour and comments are "of a different time", maybe you should ask yourself why it is that those kinds of "jokes" have been left in the past.
Saying your humour is of a different time doesn't change anything; skeevy or bigoted remarks are skeevy or bigoted remarks, and should be judged as such. If I run around calling people the R word, it's not going to be less hurtful or unpleasant just because I say "relax, I grew up in the 2000s", is it?

Awaiting Fall (Stylized Environment)
Hey all!
First time posting here, I recently finished a stylized environment. Even though its finished I would still be happy to hear some criticism to improve for next time. I was in the mood for a medieval piece because I hadn't worked on one in a bit. For my next stuff I really want to start pushing towards Valorant-inspired environments.
Here's the video in 4k . Here it is on my Artstation where I also uploaded a few videos to show some geometry nodes stuff, vertex painting, etc

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (92)
Wanted some nice prop work for my portfolio, so I had a go at this. I'm sorry I don't have progress pics, I kinda just knocked it out in a productive haze.
For a lot of the little details, I experimented with a transferred-normals decal-ish approach that Christopher3D
recently featured on his channel, I have to say it works pretty well.
Especially for the little ridges in the handles - it would have been a mess to build them into the mesh, and the alternative was to do it entirely in normals (requiring further tedious materials work).

Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | September - October (92)
@Pep_mepla I'm making a kind of mid-poly model to get all the individual pieces I need, then I'll take that into ZBrush. Are you doing your scene in Unreal? Do you block it out directly in Unreal or do you make the blockout pieces in the modeling software and import?
Here's my mid-poly. Slowed down a lot last week and didn't get as much done as I wanted because l i f e. Just need the gold pieces and it'll be ready for ZBrush.
Also, I'm moving over to Blender from being a Maya user of 15 years, so if anyone has tips/tricks/tutorial videos for softening/hardening edges please let me know. I can't find a whole lot online that does what I need without odd shading...

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
Well, I don't really know how or why the video just above relates to Start Wars chicks (hot or not), but that guy literally screaming in a microphone to order the audience to be more quiet was a good laugh

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
I think all of that makes way too much sense.
As a person who has not undergone DEI training, I think we need to tackle Nikhil. HR departments haven't seen shit yet; - Alex, you hold his legs I'll get his arms - get a big 'ol turkey baster and splash him good with a combined gay sauce blessed by both Sweet Baby Inc's bath water and Jeremy from TheQuartering's forehead sweat until he learns the error of his ways
But, we should probably ignore it, and keep making art as this thread is completely derailed now, not like it was on rails in the first place. This will also give Eric's finger a rest from all the hovering over the 'lock thread' button it does
