If I'm not mistaken, at that time automatic indirect lighting was uncommon (this includes AO, final gather and GI), artists relied more on manually placed fill lights and ambient light (basically clamping blacks level slightly above pure black). Stick with simple old shaders like the blinn-phong model. Definitely no SSS to…
I think everyone is spot on with their crits. You could probably make the character about 20k and then another 4 to 5 k for the gun no problem but that's not a big deal in my eyes. Some studios still need to have lower poly assets so as long as you know the workflow then you are good. My main concern is how flat the skin…
Haha Priske, wtf?! Anway: Cool stuff. Overall I like it but theres just some things that annoy me. Your shading is holding this up imo. The hand looks weird(it might just be the angle, if so you should change the angle imo) also, I love sss as much as the next guy, but I think there might be too much of it going on here.…
Wow, this is great work, I'm not too kean on the compositing/lighting though. I'm not a lighting artist or know anything about compositing, so I can't be too helpful except to say that the lighting doesn't do anything for all the amazing modeling you've done on this guy. And your material properties don't reflect…
Hmm. I always have plenty of time in Bloody Palace. I've never had the time run out. When I play with Nero I'm constantly trying to get the Exceed bonus with my attacks. I mapped it to R2 so it's a little easier on the hands. I always press R2 after the first attack. Then launch in the air. Then the downward strike move…
The physics are terrible, especially the ragdoll stuff. I guess you can thank PhysX for that. I think Epic would be better off writing their own physics engine. I can't stand the blood. Such great art in the game and then you have extremely 'cartoony' blood effects. Epic pulls off the illusion that you're destroying things…
Looking slick, dude. I personally would have loved to have seen a lot more pink in there to fake a bit of SSS, just to give it a bit more of a creepier feel and to help push the loose skin a little more and giving it that translucent feel. The head is my favourite bit about the whole piece, especially in the first shot…
Hi everyone, I've been super busy with film projects, but I did manage to create a few new free tracks for everyone. They are on my Action 2 page: "Captain Bad Ass" (looping) "Captain Bad Ass 2" (looping) "Captain Bad Ass 3" (looping) http://soundimage.org/action-2/ These might be fun in some kind of gritty action game or…
Has everyone ever done any surgery on their laptops? I've never done it, but I know RAM is really easy to swap out, but what about putting in an SSD? http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=119&name=SSD SSD prices are so low right now. What thickness SSD would you have to go for? Do any laptops come with empty…
