Actually check this out. if I try and draw a contour around the same elevation of the forms on the two sculpts, you can see how the edge is just the easily visible part.

That's on the right path. Now you've got this insight, I'd say, go back to your reference, and really pay attention to this aspect. On the reference sculpt, this idea is very extreme compared to this update.

I'd draw your attention to the long straight vertical line down the spine, it varies from no crease to strong crease the entire way through. This is exactly what @pxgeek was getting at with his paintover.

I'd also encourage you to think about form breaks being the result of the surrounding form. This is a very subtle point in painting and sculpting, but students tend to focus on edges. But edges are the result of the surrounding forms being built up in specific ways to get that result.
Edges are easy to focus on because they are high contrast.
Brushes like dam standard and pinch appeal to students because they give you the contrast, but it's in an artificial way that lets you ignore the surrounding forms.

Hope that makes sense, this is a difficult perception to communicate.

Hey thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. Here are some screen shots of my pureref board. When it comes to the station walls I am using a material that i got off of quixel. I'll take your advice and play with the UV tiling to get a more accurate scale. I'll also go back into my subway car substance project and add some more variation to the seats as well as some more roughness on those door divider things.

The point isn't to make the line squiggly, it's to vary the softness and angles of the form break.
The simple version of this is applying varying amounts of smooth to different parts of the form break.

Ah. I see. Totally misunderstood the paintover. ^^;

I'm quite liking the sculpts and art direction! Looking forward to seeing more.

 
Hi, everyone. So recently i've started learning 3ds Max from zero. I've learned a bit about primitives and decided to model something by using primitives. I jumped into pinterest and looked for some ideas, and found a picture of a water tower. I took that as a reference and started modelling. So, what do you think of this model? Let me know your opinions

Final output from godot (higher quality still under the cut).

Check Bone Weights: ensure vertices are properly weighted to the bones that should control them
Use Weight Paint Mode: Use the weight paint mode to adjust bone influence on specific vertices
Avoid "Bendy Bones": If you're using bendy bones, be aware that they can cause unwanted deformationCheck Bone Hierarchy: Ensure the bones are arranged in a logical hierarchy to control the character's movements
Ensure Proper Parenting: Make sure the mesh is properly parented to the armature
Use Constraints: Use constraints to control bone movements and create more complex animationsRemove Armature Modifier: Remove the armature modifier from the prop/clothing object
Parent to a Bone: Parent the prop/clothing to the appropriate bone in pose mode, using "Bone" instead of "Automatic Weights"

4 - Resetting Pose

Enter Pose Mode: Select the armature and enter pose mode Select Bones: Select all bones (press 'A')
Reset Transformations: Press 'Alt' + 'G' (reset location), 'Alt' + 'R' (reset rotation), and 'Alt' + 'S' (reset scale)

5 - Techniques

Rigify: useful for creating rigs in Blender 
Data transfer modifier to copy data (like shape keys or animation data) between objects

Hmm, Having seen the back and forwards i think i know what everyone's trying to point out, but not quite getting across. When i mentioned the pinch like tools i'm really talking about long uniform form breaks.

Organic forms should have form breaks that are incredibly elastic and organic.

I made a quick paint-over to show just how much of a difference this really makes.
