Shadow moon - Fan art, game-res model.
Old model, testing with Marmoset Toolbag 2.

AimBiZ · Dec 2013

A lot of personality in most of your characters. I'm particularly impressed by the flowing hair and cloth in the Mai Shiranui model. My only crit for the moment would be that some cloth folds are a bit wobbly on some characters, like the meditating man, but maybe you didn't spend much time on it. Be aware of putting in too many folds, particularly on the more cartoonish characters, like BobBump and Cartoon boy. Their shirts have a couple of folds that don't really need to be there.

Rafferty_Eggleston · Dec 2013

Awesome breakdowns and work! Keep it up!

denz3d · Dec 2013

Cool stuff here. Cheers for the breakdowns

rodgon · Dec 2013

Thanks AimBiz I'm glad you enjoyed the Mai. Definitely I need to improve on cloth's folds work and looking for better references, especially for cartoon stuff. That will help me improve on the next projects.

Thanks Rafferty and denz3d! I'm glad you liked it!

Cheers!

After some researching and testing with baking normal maps for hard-surfaces stuff, I've done a "short guide" to remind myself. Maybe it is useful for somebody else, or not.

I learned useful info from here and here!
